Whichever way you choose to move, this is activewear made to inspire you, increase your creativity and elevate your everyday. Find your flow in yoga, work your way through Pilates, boost your speed and bring your running A game. From technical pieces via adidas by Stella McCartney to science-backed trainers from Hoka, and activewear that’ll move with you from Lululemon, these pieces will change your workout.

Running clothes that don’t compromise on style? Yes, they exist. Think high-performance fabrics, science-backed sneakers and carefully designed fits: in 2025, it’s time to get serious with your craft. Your go-to brand? Red Run. Running in the chill? Layer up sports bras with windbreakers and leggings for the ultimate winter running outfit. Crafted from a thick but lightweight material that's easy to move in, whilst wicking away moisture to keep you cool and fresh, this set from Red Run will keep you at the optimum temperature while you hit the tracks.

If you’re searching for the perfect gym buddy, you’re in luck. Because it’s adidas by Stella McCartney activewear. Whether you’re lifting, stretching or cycling, their high-performance pieces will get you to your goals. Their Terex set - which comes in a matching hooded, long-sleeved top and leggings, is the best place to start. Not only are they super flattering, but they're also crafted from a soft knit fabric that'll keep you warm during the colder months. The best bit? It doubles as the ideal ski under layer too. Winner.

Prefer Yoga and Pilates to pounding the pavements? There’s a kit for that too. Enter: Lululemon. Whether you’re hitting the Barre, ready for reformer Pilates or doing yoga, this co-ord is the key to the perfect workout. The brand's Align High Rise 25 Yoga Pants have gained cult status thanks to their four-way stretch technology, that allows the leggings to move seamlessly with your body. Our favourite way to wear it? Layering hues of green and red. Trust us, you’ll be the best dressed in the studio.

One of the most important decisions to make when it comes to running? Your trainers. Top of our list? Hoka, the French trainer brand with a mission to get people moving. Case in point, their Bondi 8 Sneakers designed with a lightweight mesh lining and a foam midsole for a bouncy energy return.

On Running is also making moves, with their Cloudmonster 2 Running Shoes, that sit upon the brand’s signature chunky sole for maximum performance and cushioning for comfort. And if running’s not your beat? Look to gym trainers that sit on a flatter sole, like the brand's Cloud X 4 Training Shoe. The flat sole will help boost your stability, meaning these are the perfect style for weight training.

After the workout comes the recovery, which is just as important in our humble opinion. Been out in the cold? Go for hot baths and Jo Malone London's Pomegranate Noir Bath Oil that promises to soak your muscles and unwind your mind. Hot on its heels is Dr Ed's Massage Oil for working out knots, and their Rest CBD Oil for calming the mind and body, helping to aid sleep. Bliss.

In search of life après gym? We got you. Or Fear of God ESSENTIALS does. The cult brand is delivering big for 2025, with styles that look just as good as they feel. Case in point? Their fleece sweatpants, which feature a big old waist tie that makes for a statement touch. Pair with one of the brand’s classic hoodies, a soft grey tank top layered over an easy tee and adidas Originals latest hit, the Japan Shoe, for a winning formula. Ideal for getting you home from the gym or recovering on the couch.
