8 Perth Based Activewear Brands You Need to Know About Fitness, Fitness FashionBy Sarah-Beth PlishkaSeptember 17, 2021 Share Did you know that Perth is booming when it comes to our local activewear industry? When I set out to find Perth based brands, I was expecting to find a handful. Instead, I found over 20, and there is probably more. And if that isn’t exciting, I don’t know what is! If you’ve ever been wanting to support more local businesses while rocking some amazing gear, the time to make that switch is now. You will be able to find quality leggings and crop tops at any given price point that rival big brand names, and come from owners who know what the Perth based fitness market is really like. I’ve rounded up 7 that each offer something unique to give you a solid jumping off point when it comes to amazing Perth local brands. JPorter Hands down, the most recommended Perth based activewear brand. And after spending some time chatting with Joshua Porter (co-owner of JPorter), it is easy to see why! Luxury fabrics, gorgeous colours, plus basics that look good in and out of the gym, the pieces look and feel better in person! But the real reason they are so highly recommend? Customer service! If you are local, you can opt to pick up your order and try it on in store! They listen and make changes based on feedback from their Wolfpack (whom have their own Instagram account to be featured on), and a lookbook for each collection that is definitely worth a look. It’s the lifestyle brand for active people. Plus if you love quotes, there are a few extra surprises in each piece – gotta catch ’em all! Bold Activewear The newbie on the Perth Activewear scene, Bold Activewear aims to provide quality activewear at affordable prices. Their first collection features cute and functional crop tops, leggings and shorts in a fun flamingo print. One of the best parts of the collection? The waistband design is exactly the same for their full length leggings and ¾ crops! So no matter what length you need for the changing seasons, you know exactly the fit and feel you’re going to get! With an essential range in the works, and a second collection featuring prints designed by local artists in the future, Bold Activewear is a brand to keep your eye on. Fearless Active Wear Out of all the Perth based brands, this is one I can definitely highly recommend! I own their Navy set and it is amazing! Super comfortable for both cardio and resistance training, squat and sweat proof leggings, and a perfect medium support crop top. Added bonus: it photographs extremely well -hello Instagram photos! Great brand for those who want functional pieces that also look amazing in and out of the gym. The Art of It For the sweetest in local yogi threads you can’t go past The Art of It. Drawing inspirations from WA’s gorgeous coastline, ancient lands & Australian landscapes. Our top picks are the Mudra Mary tank & Nude Camo leggings! Maasai Activewear Based out out of South Fremantle, Maasai Activewear’s mission is “to empower women whilst helping them feel strong and beautiful during their workout.” They have a wide variety of fun solid colours for all their sports bras, leggings, and shorts, while keeping their hoodies and tees in basic blacks and white. Mid-range in pricing ($75 for a pair of leggings, $40 for a sports bra), Maasai is a great option for covering your gym basics. Our top picks are the Floral Bra & Tights. WOD UP For those looking to “do good” while looking good, check out WOD UP. Not only does a dollar from every transaction go towards support the Tangaroa Blue Foundation to help clean up our oceans, but by using fabrics such as Modal (a biodegradable fibre made from Beechwood) and R-PET (Recycled polyester) they hope to create pieces that are both eco-friendly AND functional. They also offer a great selection of lifting accessories on their website, so it is the perfect one stop shop to stock up before hitting the gym. Stax Let’s be honest. Sometimes you just want the same crop top in 4 different colours. Stax offers one of the best Perth based online selections for colour palette when it comes to basic crop tops, hoodies and leggings. Coupled with their subtle logo on most items, you could go from running errands, to yoga, and then brunch without skipping a beat. And they have recently added a pastel range, just in case you want even more pretty options! Once Upon a Run Power couple Mitch & Shae Brown came up with the idea for their luxe activewear products after training day in, day out in their respective sporting disciplines (football & netball). These ultra fashionable pieces will take you from gym to brunch to the school drop off. Our picks? The Utility Player Tank & XXXI – 2 in 1 Short.
