It’s 2023! That means you have a new set of fitness goals, whether they’re the “avoid exercise at all costs” type or the “spin studio is a second home” type. This also means you’re looking to replenish your activewear with pieces that are equally flattering and functional.

Because, let’s face it, looking and feeling good contributes to a large part of our motivation. Exercise-obsessed or not, cute and practical sports bras and leggings are always better motivation than a tattered t-shirt and hoodie.

So we’ve rounded up 8 Canadian sportswear brands that are hot right now. And for all the right reasons too. These brands offer everything you need to reach your 2023 fitness goals in comfort and style:

knife

This sustainable brand has gained popularity for its innovative products (think leak-proof underwear), supportive designs, and comfortable fabrics. And while they’ve become an underwear favorite, their activewear is just as fabulous and functional.

Lolë Vida

If there’s one brand that can dress you in style for an active lifestyle, whether it’s at-home workouts or outdoor adventures, it’s Lolë. From bold prints and bright colors to flattering silhouettes and supportive designs, the Montreal-born brand has it all.

Sports MPG

Based in Winnipeg, the lifestyle brand promises “technical and durable clothing designed for active living.” And it more than delivers on that promise with its beautiful sportswear for men and women.

TMPL

This slow fashion sportswear brand for men and women is synonymous with timeless comfort and functionality. Thus, you will find classic pieces with persistent colors. Think blacks, whites, grays and (unironically) greens.

Defending Champion

Here’s one for men (and women who, like us, love oversized clothes). Born in 2007 in Vancouver, the brand enjoyed instant success with its pragmatic and cool streetwear and sportswear. Caps, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, shorts: they protect you at all times.

Lululemon

This Vancouver-born brand needs no introduction. It’s been a staple for our activewear needs for years. And its fun colors and functional pieces ensure the brand remains a fan favorite through 2023.

Fresh Joe

For anyone looking to buy activewear essentials that are both fabulous and affordable, Joe Fresh is the brand for you. The brand offers a fun collection of t-shirts, tanks, joggers, jackets and more. This is especially useful if your restocking list is long.

Hyba

The brand may have closed its standalone stores a few years ago, but you can still find its coveted activewear at Reitmans. From comfortable t-shirts and jogging pants to durable sports bras and leggings and functional outerwear, Hyba has something for every sporting activity.
