It's officially 2025 and as soon as the clock struck 12.01 am on January 1st, the annual pledge to get fit began.
Every year without fail I make an ode to myself (and any friend who will listen) that this year will be different. This year will be the year where I finally get Emily Ratajkowski abs. This year I will start meal prepping and I will buy an overly expensive but chic water bottle and a new gym kit to encourage me to actually get past the changing room door and into the studio.
Every girlie knows that the key to sticking to any resolution doesn't come without rewards. Usually, those said rewards involve a cute outfit so when the inevitable Instagram progress pics get posted your followers know that this year you mean business.
Whether you’re planning to run a marathon, finally follow your dream of becoming a ballerina or simply signed up for a year's membership after a few too many cocktails on December 31st, here are five gym outfits for every kind of resolution girlie.
How we chose the pieces:
Brand: I have included a mix of reputable sportswear brands and a few luxury pieces to ensure there's something for every budget.
Activity: Each outfit is tailored to a specific sport or activity however, all items can be used for an alternative sweat sesh.
The Yoga Girlie
I love an all-in-one ensemble because it takes the guesswork out of making a coordinated outfit. This Adanola unitard is perfect for those early morning classes where it’s too dark to find anything in your wardrobe. If you’re looking to take things seriously and practice at home, a quality yoga mat is an essential that your knees will thank you for later.
- Unitard, £48.99, Adanola
- Yoga Mat, £124.00, Alo
- Towel, £20.00, Lululemon
- Water Bottle, £34.90, Waterdrop

The One Who is Only Here for Smoothies and the Dyson in the Changing Room
We all know one and we all are one every once in a while. If you’re paying for a gym membership you may as well reap the benefits of the fully kitted-out changing rooms and smoothie bar. This outfit gives off the impression that you have every intention of working out, convincing passers-by that you are in fact a sporty spice. This look is perfect for those days when you have brunch with the girls at 12pm and maybe class at 3pm.

The Marathon Runner
If this is the year that you finally run that marathon then why not treat yourself to a cultivatedly cool ‘fit to help you train? If you’re running outside, opt for a pop of colour like neon orange to ensure you stay safe when out and about. Rumour has it that the cuter the outfit the faster you run…

- Sports Bra, £28.00, Free People
- Trainers, £150.00, Hoka

The Ballet Barre Buff
If it’s good enough for Alexa Chung then it’s good enough for us. Obviously, this year has been all about ballet-core, so why not go all out and embrace the trend at its core? Pair a leotard with a cute wrap-around cardigan and a pair of non-slip socks in a matching colourway to look like a pro. And because we’re fashion girlies, add an oversized scrunchie to your slick-backed bun to embrace the full energy.

- Cardigan, £77.00, & Other Stories

The Courtside Cutie
We all desperately want to be the tennis girl at the country club, so why not fake it till you make it? This fully designer fit talks the talk so you don’t have to walk the walk when it comes to knowing why tennis scores in 15-point increments. If you’re only interested in looking cute on the court, then why not add a tennis bracelet, I mean it was named that for a reason right?
