We wish we belonged to the group of fitspo fanatics who look forward to going to the gym, but in all honesty, we don’t. The pain, the sweat, the tears – it’s not a pretty sight. However, these eight sportswear brands have actually got us excited to stretch those glutes – even better, you can wear these sporty yet stylish pieces outside the gym, too. After all, athleisure is the current fad (see Gigi Hadid and Jessica Alba), so why not jump on the bandwagon?

Breaking a sweat can be very relaxing for both your body and mind. But what's even better than that is when you're working out for a cause. Sparks Active new Singaporean/Hong Kong brand offers sports bras, tanks and leggings at an affordable price in a broad range of sizes. What's interesting about this new brand, is that it advocates for a balanced life in which we give as well as receive. In this case, Sparks Active donates 5% of its net proceeds to a charity of the customer’s choice. Some of these charities that you can choose from include Clean Yangon (an NGO that plants trees), Changing Stories (a small non-profit that trains local teachers and offers programs in Nepal), and RUN (a charity that provides yoga and hiking for refugees). Now you can sweat in style for a good cause!
