If you don’t know already, we are GymShark stans in this household. I have tried so many different workout clothes and GymShark, since they upgraded the quality of their products around 2021, has been at the top of my list for years.

One of the best things about GymShark is that they are a brand that keeps on giving. You get new colours, styles, cuts, and a diverse set of options depending on how you like to train. I also love that they’ve recently collabed with Leana Deeb, a Muslim content creator who advocates for Palestine, the Arab community, and inclusive sportswear for Muslim women, which is what her collab with GymShark is all about.
I am not a Muslim woman so this collection was not designed for me, and therefore I don’t feel right choosing my favourites from the collection. But I strongly encourage you to check it out if you’ve been looking for quality gym gear designed by a woman who understands how these garments need to perform.
Let’s get into some of the other new collections and new arrivals that are bringing that energy to the new year!
GymShark’s “Cool Running” Collection
I am not a winter runner, but who says you can’t stock up on your running outfits in the winter? I’m also starting running training now, on the treadmill, so that when summer comes around I am already pre-conditioned to join all the run clubs (and look cute doing it!)
Vital Seamless 2.0
I will be a vital seamless stan for as long as they make these shorts. Although these aren’t new, I can confirm they make a great running short. There are details on the sides that allow for more airflow so that you don’t get too hot when you’re running.
Also these shorts come in 9 colours and are available in XS to XXL. So you have options! I personally cannot imagine wearing anything but black when I am out running to avoid any crotch sweats.
However, I do think the other colours would look really cute for running errands, or maybe a yin yoga class.
Scallop Hem Shaped Shorts
Okay hear me out – these shorts are kind of giving like 80’s fitness trend and I am HERE FOR IT. I grew up playing soccer in these loose, somewhat oversized shorts (in the 90’s and 2000’s) so I would love to get a couple pairs of these for the summertime.
I can just see everyone in these this summer so you might as well get ahead of the trend now, because I know I will be.
Running Graphic Oversized T-Shirt
I am really in my workout t-shirt era again. In my holiday wish-list post I had a couple different training shirts there because all of my shirts are so outdated. They all have pit stains and I have probably had my current workout t-shirts for over 10 years.
So it is time to update our workout T’s. In the spirit of running more, why not get a t-shirt that announces it loud and proud.
I love how this looks fitted, but also breathable. It won’t be sticking to you immediately, and when you’re really running, you’ll get a good breeze in this shirt.
It also invites versatility. You could tuck the shirt in your shorts, in your sports bra, tie the shirt or wear it loose. There are only 3 colours available right now, but if I know GymShark, I know they’ll be releasing this shirt in more colours.
Running Skort (!!!)
Listen, I have a new-found obsession with skorts. And it isn’t even that new. I wrote a whole blog this past summer about the best skorts and shorts on the market and I stand by those recommendations.
So naturally I am including their skorts here. The colours options are definitely limited; I would love to see more options here that let me have girly, colourful days, as well as practical, all black skort days.
The thing that I really love about this skort is the fact that the skirt is cut above the back of the shorts underneath. It is such a Sabrina Carpenter, mini mini skirt vibe and it is so feminine and cute.
As a strong woman, who is built physically strong and viking/potato farmer genetics, these cute, feminine pieces are so important to have in my workout wardrobe.
Running Sports Bra
Quick storytime about me and running. When I was in my teens I used to run pretty regularly as part of my conditioning for soccer. One evening I was running through a neighbourhood that didn’t have sidewalks in an all black outfit, and a woman drove up beside me and told me that she almost ran me over because I didn’t have any reflective gear.
Although odd that she pulled over to tell me this, I am grateful for the life lesson. I always think about that moment whenever I see workout clothing with reflective materials, which is exactly why I am excited about this sports bra with reflective materials.
I don’t need a lot of support, but for my girls who do, this would be a great sports bra not only for support for also for safety!
The sports bra comes in black and white, and runs in sizes XXS – XXL.
Whitney Collection
Whitney Simmons has been a part of many millennial women’s fitness journeys. She’s been reminding us that it is a beautiful day to be alive, and always giving us the squat proof tests that we need.
She was recently announced as the creative director for their adapt line, and it seems she has made her first major move releasing the Whitney leggings, joggers, and 1/4 zip. In true Whitney fashion, the leggings are working overtime to show off your beautiful glutes, and the sweats and 1/4 zip are rest-day essentials.
The leggings come in 4 different colours. The joggers and 1/4 zip come in 3 colours. All items run from XXS – XXL. Whitney Simmons is a business woman so you know that these have been designed with quality in mind.
It’s always fun to check out the newest trending items, so I hope you’ve found something new that you’ll love in 2025. For now, I have to go plan my summer running program!
