Your Favourite Fitness Brands with a Twist
The fitness industry is booming, with countless brands offering high-quality gear and equipment. However, with premium products often come premium prices. Fortunately, savvy fitness enthusiasts have discovered a growing trend in brand dupes—affordable alternatives that deliver similar performance and aesthetics as their high-end counterparts.
One notable example is the rise of budget-friendly leggings and shorts for women that rival those of luxury brands like Lululemon, DFYNE, and Keep That Pump. Brands such as CRZ Yoga and 90 Degree by Reflex offer a dupe for Lululemon with comparable comfort, fit, and durability at a fraction of the cost. These dupes are not only stylish but also practical, making them a popular choice for both gym-goers and casual wear.
For brands that have gone viral this year online such as DFYNE for their sculpting impact shorts, many other brands, big and small have started to replicate the design to sell with their logo on it. These shorts are viral for a reason, they are flattering on everyone! However, their going price of $75 AUD is not exactly ideal for everyone. So, if you still want the effect of the shorts without the brand tax, look no further than websites like AliExpress, where the same shorts are listed for ½ the price!
Another area where dupes shine is in fitness trackers. While the Apple Watch and Fitbit dominate the market, brands like Amazfit and Xiaomi offer similar features, such as heart rate monitoring and GPS tracking, for a significantly lower price. These alternatives are perfect for those who want to track their fitness journey without breaking the bank, especially for those of us joining run clubs and wanting to track progress.
As the fitness industry continues to expand, the demand for affordable yet high-quality products will likely grow, leading to even more dupes entering the market. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, these budget-friendly options ensure you can stay fit without sacrificing style or performance.
