The Complete Guide to a Kick-Ass Gym Kit

Upgrade your gym kit with our expert edit of the 10 items every guy should have before hitting the treadmill. Get ready to get in shape – in style!

1. Tech-leggings

Crafted to minimize sweat and allowing for unrestricted movement, Adidas’s Focus Pants are perfect for cardio and look just as good when paired with a hoodie for weekend excursions.

2. Breathable Shorts

Look to the versatile proportions of modern endurance wear. Nike’s Black Basketball Shorts are gym-friendly, but double as the perfect loungewear as well.

3. Moisture-wicking T-shirts

Opt for T-shirts that are breathable enough for a workout but versatile enough to be paired with denim.

4. Fresh Socks

You simply can’t pair your favourite running shoes with mismatched socks. Keep it classic and efficient with Reebok’s cotton-blended pairs in black.

5. The Correct Footwear

Buy a top-notch sneaker and you’ll have made a worthwhile investment. Adidas state of the art technology guarantees optimum style and comfort for your feet.

6. Shower Sliders

It isn’t recommended to slip back into your sweaty shoes post workout gym shower. Instead, purchase simple slides to naturally air-dry your feet and avoid unnecessary odor.

7. Durable Gym Bag

Having a practical yet not hideous gym bag will make it easier to head to the gym. Whether you opt for a backpack or weekend style, keep it neutral.

8. Manly Cologne

A quick blast of cologne as you leave the gym will ensure you smell and feel fresh and ready to tackle the day. Look to Davidoff’s rich blend of citrus and amber for best results.

9. Facial Moisturizer

Excessive sweat from a heavy workout leaves skin dehydrated. Use a facial moisturizer post-workout to ensure your skin is as healthy as your body.

10. Essential Underwear

We cannot stress the importance of the right underwear – especially for a workout. Under Armour’s durable and cooling boxers come highly recommended.
