With every new day comes the inevitable promises to yourself that you’ll do an at-home workout, take longer walks with the dog or actually go on a hike for once. Trying to fit exercise into our daily lives can feel like a chore, which is why having something cute to wear while working out is oh-so important. Luckily, there are quite a few Black-owned fitness brands available to shop these days. Whether it’s taking a walk to your favorite coffee shop or going on a run around the neighborhood (in which case, props to you…I could never), you’re going to want all the excuses to wear pieces from these seriously cute activewear brands.
From those who live to do yoga each morning to those who just like to lounge around the house in athleisure, anyone can justify treating themselves to a few articles of clothing from the incredible fitness brands we’ve rounded up below. If you’re anything like me, you understand just how important cute clothing can be when motivating yourself to get up and move a little. Exercising is much more fun when you like your outfit—so snag a cute fitness ensemble and support Black-owned businesses at the same time! It’s a no-brainer and a win/win situation.
The below brands offer everything from leggings and crop tops to sports bras and bike shorts, and you’ll definitely stand out compared the the other girls in your spin class wearing the same pair of basic black leggings on repeat. That said, even if you just end up wearing these to binge a new show on Netflix, you’ll at least look super cute doing so.

Calling all tennis players! Eleven by Venus Williams is the brand you don’t want to pass up. If you’re not a tennis player, though, you can still shop. Williams’ brand is chock-full of all types of workout ensembles. Whether you wear these looks on the court, on a run or on the couch, your look is Olympian-approved. I have my eyes on this adorable mint-colored skirt for my next workout sesh.

Kemetic Knowledge
Before ancient Egypt was actually called Egypt, the land was known as Kemet—and the people who lived there are the oft-forgotten originators of much of today’s knowledge. Kemetic Knowledge isn’t just an activewear brand; it also pays homage to Africa’s historical importance by honoring it through their branding. These red leggings have a super high rise for a cute-meets-functional look.

Full Court is an independent activewear brand started by Marguerite Wade. While the brand originally started as tennis-wear, intending to be a solution to the lackluster options available for women at the time, it’s now become a full-blown sportswear brand full of moisture-wicking, fashion-forward pieces. This simple sweat suit is a must-buy.
