Omgoing
Omgoing was set up by two sisters in Singapore — one into yoga, the other into body combat. They carry 11 international brands including Alo yoga, Flexi Lexi, Glyder, Montiel, Liquido Active, and Yoga design lab. Take a peek at their activewear collections and you’ll notice all their gear is stylish, super versatile and ultimately comfortable so you’d be just as happy wearing their stretchy pants to Pilates as you would to school pick up! Best thing? All their activewear has been tried and tested for Singapore’s humid climate so it’s ideal for workouts here. Pssst! Having trouble sizing up? Check out their online help desk for queries on sizing.

Rangoon
Rangoon seeks to enable you to live each moment mindfully and inspire positive change (they go the extra mile and get behind community events, too). Rangoon was set up by a yoga instructor and ex-Spartan racer, so you can be sure that their timeless contemporary activewear designs have the wearer’s physical activity in mind (it’s not just about fashion here!). Rangoon designs their activewear in-house so those looking for unique pieces check out their collection online. They offer free returns/exchanges and have a pick up and redelivery service too — how convenient is that!?

Sparks
Sparks activewear is a newcomer to the sports gear market but it’s one to keep an eye on. Their lifestyle philosophy is ‘look good, live good and do good’ through working out and charity. Both founders are from charity backgrounds and they continue their mission to give back through this activewear brand where 5% proceeds go towards the customer’s choice of charity! We love the affordable price point of the activewear – everything from sports bras to yoga leggings (around $50). Leggings are super comfortable with lovely soft material and…drum roll..pockets! Plus they don’t compromise on fashion – cue pink mesh leggings! Shopping is free for orders over $60 (it comes from Hong Kong so allow up to 8 days).

Yumi Active was founded with the goal to bring modern workout clothes and accessories to everyday women. With head-turning activewear designs and beautiful custom made fabrics that are the result of an obsession with quality, Yumi brings a little of the runway to you as you head to the gym, yoga studio or running track! Their activewear has 4-way stretch, softness, quick dry with antimicrobial finishing for better hygiene, bacteria and odour management – something you don’t see in most activewear brands available today! All designs and prints are created in-house, and feature collections with distinctly Asian-inspired prints such as Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, and Peranakan tile motifs.

Under Armour
Under Armour was an early player on the moisture-wicking activewear scene with their legendary Heat Gear, which keeps you cool and dry, even in the Singapore heat. We’re big fans of their leggings and sports bras – particularly in the new Vanish collection, which is super-silky, stretchy, and dries faster than ever without absorbing sweat. You can usually score some pretty sweet deals at their outlet, too.
