That back-to-school feeling is in the air, as summer begins to fade and the ‘second New Year’ (as productivity gurus and life coaches like to call it) kicks off in September.
Whether you’ve just returned from a long, relaxing vacation or stopped working out during the warmer months (and who can blame you for all those heat waves), you’re looking for some gym equipment to kick start your fitness routine. Now is the right time to stock up.

Fall/Winter collections are landing in store and online, and there’s everything you need to update your workout wardrobe, from durable, high-tech essentials to affordable staples.
Here are five activewear trends to help you get going for fall…
1. Flared cuts
In the same way that baggy and bootcut jeans have taken the place of skinnies, leggings and flared pants are now the hottest cut on the activewear scene.
Perfect for yoga or dance classes, they double as loungewear and look great with chunky sneakers.

2. Two-tone tops
Busy prints take a backseat this season as color blocking comes to the fore with two-tone sports bras.
From neutrals to bright colors, these crop tops provide support and style.

3. Back to black
As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor for shoppers, we’re seeing a return to the classic black gym kit that won’t go out of style for the coming season.
All-black outfits always look great, or you can easily mix and match separates with bright sneakers for a pop of color.

4. Pink Barbiecore
Ever since Margot Robbie was seen filming the upcoming Barbie movie, pink has become the trending color in the fashion world.
But you don’t have to wear cycling shorts and leg warmers to pull off Barbiecore’s workout style; instead, choose pinks, from pastel to fuchsia.

5. Neon sneakers
Going back to the eighties, the coolest sneakers of the fall are black with fluorescent highlights.
From hot pink to fluorescent yellow, these retro-inspired kicks up your visibility and style credentials.
