What activewear does Things Square offer for women?+β
Things Square offers women's activewear across three categories. Gym Leggings β including high-waist squat-proof, seamless, scrunch bum, compression, and printed styles. Sports Bras β including high-impact, medium-impact, yoga/low-impact, padded, and crop top styles. Yoga Sets β including seamless sets, printed sets, sports bra and shorts sets, solid colour, and pilates sets. New activewear styles are added every week across all three categories.
What is the difference between gym leggings and regular leggings?+β
Gym leggings are made from technical performance fabrics β typically nylon, polyester, or spandex blends β with squat-proof opacity, moisture-wicking properties, and four-way stretch engineered specifically for workout use. Regular fashion leggings are made from softer cotton or jersey fabrics designed for comfort and casual wear. While gym leggings can be worn casually as athleisure, regular fashion leggings lack the performance properties needed for gym and sporting activities.
How do I choose the right sports bra for my workout?+β
Match your sports bra's impact level to your planned activity. Low-impact bras (light compression, flexible fit) are ideal for yoga, pilates, walking, and stretching. Medium-impact bras (firm compression, structured band) suit weight training, gym sessions, cycling, and dance. High-impact bras (maximum support, reinforced straps, firm underband) are essential for running, HIIT, CrossFit, and aerobics. Using the wrong impact level risks discomfort and long-term tissue damage.
Are yoga sets good for the gym too?+β
Yes β our yoga sets work well for low-to-medium intensity gym sessions, light weight training, stretching, and mobility work in addition to yoga and pilates. The seamless, four-way stretch fabric performs across a range of activities. For high-impact activities like running and heavy HIIT, we recommend our dedicated gym leggings and high-impact sports bras which are engineered for greater intensity and provide more targeted support and durability.
How do I care for activewear to maintain its performance?+β
Machine wash activewear on a cold gentle cycle β never hot. Never use fabric softener as it permanently degrades moisture-wicking fibres. Turn items inside-out before washing to protect prints and colours. Air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting β high heat damages elastane fibres and causes loss of stretch, shape, and compression. Wash after every workout for hygiene and to maintain fabric performance. Proper care significantly extends the life of performance activewear.
Do you offer plus-size women's activewear?+β
Yes. Our women's activewear is available up to XXL across all three categories. High-waist gym leggings with wide waistbands, sports bras with wider reinforced straps, and seamless yoga sets in extended sizes are all available. Our stretch performance fabrics are particularly accommodating across a wider range of body types than standard woven garments. Use the size filter to browse activewear in your size and check each product page for waist, hip, and bust measurements for the most accurate fit.
