As two of the most popular destinations for activewear, Sweaty Betty versus Lululemon is a common dilemma. Both fitness brands have a reputation for stocking high-quality, hard-working gym gear - from sports bras and leggings to sweaters and shorts - at the more luxe end of the market. However, there are some subtle differences between the two which could make one the clear winner for you and your workout needs.
As a health and wellness journalist of just under a decade, I've squat-jumped and pigeon-stretched my way through several Sweaty Betty and Lululemon items - including the best workout leggings and best sports bras. Both brands have helped me to move my body to the best of my ability through sweaty HIIT sessions, chilly 5ks and yoga classes - workouts where I'm exercising with intensity or trying to relax and the last thing I want to be doing is tugging at my top or pulling up the waistband of my leggings for the umpteenth time.
