THE JANUARY RESET 2027 · Our series on starting the year well, one shelf, drawer and gym bag at a time.
Gym clothes that fit well make showing up a little easier, and there has never been more choice. This list covers nineteen brands across every budget. The big sports names are here (Nike, adidas, Reebok, Puma, New Balance), alongside the gym-floor favourites (Gymshark, Alphalete, ASRV, Represent 247), the athleisure labels you can wear all day (Alo, Vuori, lululemon, Reigning Champ, Beyond Yoga) and the running brands people who care about kit talk about (On, Bandit, District Vision, Satisfy). No more than four picks come from any one brand.
The Shopping List is an independent editorial selection, for reference only. Ayerhs Magazine does not sell these products and does not earn a commission from any link on this page. Every link goes to the brand’s official website. Prices are the full prices in US dollars as listed on the brands’ US sites on 14 November 2026; several items were on sale that day, so you may find them for less. “From” means the lowest-priced colour or size. Prices vary by country and can change. Product images belong to the respective brands.
