We all know decent gym wear costs a fortune. On top of the price of gym membership, the eye-watering amount you can end up spending on kit alone is enough to make you break into a sweat and burn a few calories. However, Strictly star, professional dancer and mother-of-one Oti Mabuse’s new Reaktiv fitness range for Sainsbury’s Tu clothing could be about to change all that, as prices start at £10.
At first glance, the range oozes quality – and at a quarter of a price that big-name rivals, such as lululemon and Sweaty Betty charge, it’s got the potential to be the perfect designer dupe. Plus, the range caters for sizes XSmall to XXLarge, which is another win.
But how fit is it for purpose?. As someone who spends a huge amount of money going to the gym, and is always looking for ways to avoid eye-watering prices for my fitness gear, I gave five items a try over a week to see how they shaped up. Here’s my verdict….
Reaktiv Soft touch yoga roll top jogger, £22. Here’s your winner first off. The boot cut design make this instantly flattering and magically lengthens your leg. These are so soft and lightweight, I change into them after my workout and team with a chunky sweater for a perfect style combination.
The charcoal colour option is a great alternative to daytime leggings, while the navy blue option teams nicely with other colourway tops in the range. A wide waistband sits snuggly around your tummy, and it’s true to size. I’ve seen yoga joggers for sale for three times the price, with exactly the same soft feel.
