I can't even begin to believe how ugly the new cheetah print Balance set Taylor is releasing is. When she was showing the outfit with the matching top and bottom it legit looked like a Halloween costume.

Wow, that is bad. She looks like an extra from The Flintstones.

Does anyone else wear short sleeve workout tops? Any you would recommend? TYIA :)
I have the same thing! I feel like training chest only makes it more prominent too, ugh. Honestly, the only way I've found to reduce it is to lose fat overall. I've been cutting for the last few months and it's the one place I've noticed the most improvement. If only the fat went a little bit more south to my non-existent boobs LOL.
I have a low BF%, <19% and I still get this (and still had it at an even lower %), though not as prominently as when I was younger. I just tuck it into my sports bra, lol.

Has anyone seen the Alice Liveing x Primark workout collection? It’s a shameless carbon copy of Gymshark’s pink and grey ombré as well as a few of their other pieces. I’d be embarrassed to copy such a well known brand, especially in such a prominent, Europe-based store...

I wonder if Gymshark's Sydney popup wasn't that busy today. It seemed awfully quiet on SM. No stories from the popup by Ben or Whitney, Steve was quiet and Nikki just did a couple of pics. Normally they are showing the queues and big crowd.

I live in the USA where we just got Primark here in the northeast. At my store those leggings have been selling out like crazy!! There's no shot the quality is the same as Gymshark's though.

We don’t have it in the Midwest yet and I don’t know who Alice Liveing is but it seems like in all her IG pictures people are absolutely blown away by her monumentally creative gymwear line that she must have worked SO hard on designing from scratch- god forbid anyone suggest primark just copied what was popular already and slapped her name on it.

I think I’m most bothered that the ombré isn’t a nice gradient like gymshark’s, and the ombré doesn’t go from pink down to grey on the tops. Both pieces go from grey down to pink, so if you wear them both at the same time it’s going to draw attention to and make the midsection look bigger, as well as not transition well into the bottoms.

I'm so confused by GS sizing.. are most of their leggings just really stretchy. How can Ajahzi (nothing against I think she looks great) be a size small then you have chicks like Whitney and Maryana who are also size small in their new high rise flex leggings? Her glutes are 42 inches.

Will anyone be ordering anything from the new buff bunny collection? It will be released this Saturday - I saw some reviews from other youtubers and apparently the leggings are comparable to aligns. But yes it could be all lies and scams. I just wondered if anyone will be ordering, I probably won't and rather save for p'tula to try at some point (hopefully soon, lol).

not a chance. comments on her bbc IG account are terrible, not just quality (mostly sizing) but shipping/wrong orders/overselling. unless she already got ALLLL of that fixed in her new warehouse. but yeah, i'll pass.

The new flex set comes off as kinda lazy to me honestly. They only made a bra and leggings, the pattern/design is pretty minimal and most of their releases have more than just 2 pieces in the set. Maybe they’ll add more if they gauge a good enough interest in the two pieces first. But the bra looks super cheap and low quality... those tiny straps... I can’t. It looks like a lounge/sleep bra.

The more I see of the balance athletica cheetah set the uglier I think it is. Taylor was banging on about how it makes your booty look bigger... sure but like it makes your legs look massive too and not in a good way. And it's even tackier than the camo print GS released.

What are some good high waisted compression shorts? I would love to get some from Lululemon but they're so expensive. I noticed Alphalete has some on sale. Thoughts?

Damn it! I had a look at the bag and it is actually nice and has potential as an everyday bag. I second this though, I would never buy her crap. Buff bunny as the logo alone is embarrassing af. But there has to be an original out there somewhere that she copied this from.

Yeah, I want to see 'snow leopard' and 'cheetah' on models other than Taylor...her body is amazing so pretty much anything looks good on her. I'd like to see if it's still so 'flattering' on curvier women.

third the BB bag. it looks amazing, esp with that place to keep food in the bottom, but i will give her business over my dead body.

I've heard of an Australian company called Mealami that makes meal prep bags with a laptop holder and whatnot this summer, but it is expensive.

From a quick google I found this: https://minkeeblue.com/products/the-parker-travel-tote
Looks like similar products are out there. I'm sure if you spend more time than me you can find something even better. Anything to not support BB :tu:

I've used these bags before - good quality and sort of similar:

Just don't know if they ship internationally, otherwise highly recommended.

That cheetah print is not the best idea. I saw her promo video and while looks okay there, I can't imagine myself going to the gym in this sort of cheetah print. Or see that in the gym. It's just too much. But also I'm pretty basic with clothing and when I wear leggings, they are 90% of time black.

Does anyone here live in Canada and have a recommendation of good quality resistance bands? I don't want to pay too much for shipping :P
