The women's clothing fitness page brings together the outfit for the sporty, from the gym to outdoor running: full-length and seven-eighths leggings adidas Adi365, tank tops, crop t-shirts, and jackets from the same line, technical tops and winter leggings Elite Lab, sleeveless down jacket adidas Adizero, waterproof jacket Elite Lab, and reflective jacket Endurance, down to merino socks Lorpen.
An outfit that follows every movement.
A fitness outfit is primarily judged by its material. Polyester, lightweight, holds almost no water: it moves sweat to the outside of the fabric, where it evaporates, while cotton soaks it up and clings to the skin. Together with elastane, it gives leggings their stretch and support, without losing shape after sets of squats and lunges. The Climacool technology from adidas, found in the Adi365 top and leggings, adds ventilated areas that cool the body where you sweat the most. For socks, the merino wool from Lorpen helps regulate temperature and limit odours, even after several hours of effort.
The women's selection is organised by type:
Fitness also extends to men's clothing, shoes, cardio training, cross training, weight training, accessories, nutrition, on the fitness page.
The legging remains the central piece: fitted, it follows every bend without slipping or getting in the way. The long version protects the legs on mats and machines, while the seven-eighths cut of the adidas Adi365 stops above the ankle and ventilates better during cardio. A high, wide waistband holds in the stomach and doesn’t roll down during sit-ups. On top, the tank top frees the shoulders for overhead movements, and the cropped t-shirt, which is short, can be worn over a sports bra to keep the torso cool. The sports bra is chosen depending on the impact: light support for yoga and core workouts, strong support for jumps, skipping, and running.
Outside in winter, we layer layers that we can remove as we warm up. Against the skin, the long-sleeve top Elite Lab Core, with its quarter zip to ventilate during ascents, and the winter legging Elite Lab, brushed inside, keep warmth without being heavy. On top, the sleeveless down jacket adidas Adizero protects the torso from the wind while allowing for free arms, and the waterproof jacket Elite Lab Shell stops the downpour. As night falls, the reflective jacket Endurance reflects the light from headlights and makes the athlete visible from afar along the road. Finally, high socks protect the ankles from the cold.
Great bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday.

The highlights of the year follow a steady pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the year-end holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back to school.
Do a deep squat in front of a mirror, facing away and in natural light: if skin or underwear shows through, the fabric is too thin or the size too small. A legging that is dense enough and in the right size stays opaque during bends.
A high-waisted legging with a wide waistband, which doesn’t roll down, and a slightly long top that covers the hips ensure comfort and confidence. Choose a thick, breathable material, and a sports bra with wide straps for support without pressure points.
Wash them inside out, at thirty degrees and without fabric softener, which clogs technical fibers and retains odours. Avoid the tumble dryer, which relaxes the elastane in leggings, and dry flat or on a hanger, in the open air.
The fitness legging should fit without compressing: between two sizes, take the smaller one if you want support, and the larger one for yoga and comfort. The waistband should neither mark the skin nor slide down when you bend over.
For a light session, yes, but cotton absorbs sweat, gets heavy, and cools the body as soon as you stop. For cardio, running, or intense classes, a technical polyester top dries much faster and avoids chafing.
