Fitness in the past three years has become such a popular “trend”, more people are becoming fitness influencers and making fitness something that is cool again. More individuals are also becoming vegan, doing the ketogenic diet, trying to eat less meat or cheese, or going on different health cleanses. In stores there are wider selections of healthy options of food and people are straying away from cows’ milk rather than drinking almond milk or oat milk.

The brand has reinvented the way fitness fashion is on social media by using big fitness influencers to promote their brand.

The clothes have many other uses other than using them for the gym, they have jackets that can be worn with jeans or shorts even. The leggings can be worn for leisure and worn around the house. The difference with their brand is that their clothes have a multitude of uses and can be worn casually for everyday life.
