Let's talk about fitness and workout gear. I live most of my life in this type of clothing so I think I am well placed to give you an honest and open review. I do spend a lot of time biking whether on Zwift or outside but I am also into weights and yoga and stretching.
Today the lovely people over at MyProtein have sent me some of their new collections of gym wear to review for you all. I am a size 8 and I have a very large chest for my size. Whilst I am on the subject of the chest I also have a very small back. I am a bit of a strange shape. I am all hips ass and boobs. I am a classic hourglass. I will do my best to tell you the sizes I have received.
If you would like 3-month free delivery you can use my code LAURA-R1CJJ this is not a special code anyone who orders from MyProtein will have a code for this deal. But I thought I would share as free delivery is always good right?
When I work with a brand they are fully aware that I will give my honest opinion about the items I receive and I like to be completely honest with you all. With these types of posts, I always include lots of photos so you can really see the clothing on me and make an informed decision if you would like to buy them for yourself.
Without further ado let's get into it.
First up we have the MP Women's Power Ultra Fitted Vest this is a size small. This is a super cute little workout vest it has some built-in padding and as you can see a bit of support. I really like this vest it is more suited to low impact sports like yoga and weights. I wouldn't use this with my chest on any high impact cardio but it is really nice for low impact and casual wear.
"The Power Ultra fitted vest features an inbuilt bra for light support, and a high neck to allow you to feel confident and stay distraction-free throughout your workout. A laser-cut panel at the back assists with temperature regulation and a reflective print adds detail."
I have teamed this with the MP Women's Power Ultra Sports Leggings size small. These are fantastic do all leggings they are comfy and really stretchy. I have done some pretty hard workouts in these and they have been great and breathable. I really like the venting in these that make them not feel as thick as they are. These are defo not see through. They are high waisted on me and really help to pull your stomach in.
I really like the style of these as I can wear them out and they look quite casual too.
"Constructed from soft, breathable fabric, with more stretch and more opaqueness than the original Power range, the Power Ultra leggings also feature an improved gusset for maximum mobility and better fit.
A large pocket at the back inner waistband means you’ll be able to store your valuables whilst maintaining focus on the session ahead"
"The Raw Training Seamless Bra features a deep rib underbust band, helping to provide the wearer with a light level of support. Removable bra cups allow you to customise the coverage and adjustable straps provide a customisable fit. A racer back strap placement allows for added shoulder mobility and a greater range of movement. Minimal seams ensure unrivaled comfort through every exercise."
Next, we have P Women's Raw Training Washed Joggers - Deep Sea Blue size small. First I wasn't sure about these. I just wasn't sure if the colour would suit me. But I love them. She says as she writes this wearing them. I would say they run a bit bigger than advertised. I could maybe have sized down in these. They are so comfy. I want them in the other colour now. They are the perfect thickness not too heavy and not too thin. I have been wearing them as casual wear bit I would wear these to do weight and yoga. They feel very 2000's and I love a little throwback so I am on board.
"The Raw Training Joggers are designed with movement in mind thanks to their stretch fabric and rib gusset. Designed in a slim fit, with a vintage wash and embroidered logo, they also feature topstitched seams for added durability.
Raw pieces are garment dyed, so shades will vary due to the nature of the dyeing process. Colours may transfer upon washing, wash coloured items separately."
Here we have MP Women's Velocity Sports Bra- Black size small. This is a high intensity very secure bra. It has kept me in place on some very hard workout. Jumping jacks no problems, burpees no dramas. This is a great one for us ladies who need a bit more support. The photos make it look like you can see the padding inside bit I can't in real life just in the photo above which is very strange it must be the camera. I really recommend this one for extra support. I will be wearing it on the DH track where it's a bit ruffer and you need to keep the girls in check. No one wants a black eye right.
I can't believe I forgot to take a photo of the back. The back is stunning on this one I have popped in a photo from Myprotein. oops sorry, bad blogger. I really like the minimal style of the back. Normally with so much support, the back is really boring. I love that they have put a lot of thought into the design and look of this bra.
"High performing fabrics ensure you stay comfortable when training, meaning that our Velocity range is workout gear that’ll keep up with you. Sweat-wicking and breathable, the Velocity Sports Bra is a must-have for your running wardrobe. With a mesh insert at the under-bust for ventilation and a supportive under-bust band for support, the bra will keep you cool and confident throughout your run. Adjustable elastic straps at the back allow for a customisable fit, and removable bra cups mean you can adjust the coverage. An adjustable hook and eye clasp means that not only can you customise the fit, but the bra is super easy to remove even after the sweatiest workout. The bra also features reflective taping at the front for visibility."
I have teamed this with MP Women's Velocity Leggings- Black size small. These run a little on the small size so if you are ordering might be worth sizing up. These are other high-quality legging. I really like how flexible they are. You can move about with perfect freedom in these no issues at all. I have done a few hard workouts in these and they have been great. They are high waisted and there is a draw sting too. Which is great for people like me. My waist is small and some high waisted clothes just don't sit right on me but having this option really helps them stay in place no matter what I am doing.
"The Velocity Leggings will help you go the extra mile. The leggings feature a supportive yet adjustable waistband complete with drawcords that can be worn inside or outside for a customisable, comfortable fit. They also have a secure zip pocket for your gels and small items at the centre back and an inner key pocket inserted into the waistband. A front reflective logo and reflective taping at the hem (that can be turned to the outside) aid visibility on gloomy days."
"Whatever your workout throws your way, conquer it in Adapt. Our Adapt range is designed for tough training, so expect functional fabrics and features, with added durability to see you through your sessions. The Adapt Textured Sports Bra provides mid-level support and features a deep elasticated under-bust band that'll stay in place through every movement. Rib texture panelling provides a contoured look whilst staying breathable, as well as adding durability. An elasticated racerback ensures a full range of movement thanks to its non-restrictive shape."
And very lastly how could I not get the matching leggings. MP Women's Adapt Textured Leggings- Virtual Pink size small. Wow I mean these are pink. Lucky I love pink. These are great like all the legging I have tried from MP they are fantastic quality and thick enough there is no VPL or see though moments. I really like the ways these have ribbing which help them to be more flexible and look more unquiet. They are really comfortable and flexible. They are have been great for any workout and yoga sessions I have done with them on.
"The Adapt Textured Leggings feature a high waisted elasticated waistband that will ensure your leggings stay put through every element of your workout. Strategically placed, breathable rib textured panels contour the body, as well as providing you with a place to brush off any excess chalk from the functional training box. Cover-stitch seams reduce irritation for uninterrupted training."
I hope you have enjoyed this little review and I look forward to sharing more with you all.
