Being fit is an aim of each individual and everyone aspires to keep the body fit and toned. In recent times, hitting the gym is considered as one of the most convenient ways to remain healthy and in shape. 

A gym is simply not a place meant to work-out or exercise, anymore. It has graduated to a greater level and has now become a complete lifestyle in itself. It is no more about going to the gym and working-out, it is much more than that. 

So, maintaining a gym-lifestyle is not easy and involves a lot of effort and dedication.

Most followed items in gym-lifestyle

Sippers and water bottles

Sippers and water bottles are a ‘must-have’ item in a gym kit-bag. Every gym freak carries a sipper and nowadays, because of the wide variety of designs available, a sipper has become an item associated with the individual’s personality. People carry health drinks, protein shakes and even luxury water in exotic sippers and designer bottles to the gym to maintain their gym-lifestyle!

Gym Clothes

Selecting gym clothes is not an easy task, it takes great effort. The selected clothes must be convenient to wear and must also make oneself look smart. If someone is going to the gym five days a week, then he/she needs at least five sets of clothing to look trendy. Anand Singh, Fashion Design Manager at DaMENSCH says, “The right workout wear is an investment in your health. It can benefit you in multiple ways such as improving your blood circulation, and providing oxygen to working muscles, resulting in better recovery, endurance, and improved power”. BlissClub’s founder and CEO, Minu Margeret has, on several occasions, stressed the need of gender-specific gym-wear for better performance and comfort.

Diets

Gym diets keep changing nowadays. For a few months or weeks, a particular fitness diet or trend is followed, then another celebrity or influencer shares a new diet then it takes over the previous one. Be it keto, high-protein, low-carb or vegan, every diet has a life-span and it soon runs its course. There is a broad-spectrum of diets that are now suggested and they are followed as per the trend. Some diets remain in trend and are widely followed, while some more exclusive one’s are shared among close groups.

The gym lifestyle involves a special type of reverence to the gym, and a typical kind of behavior-pattern, which is also carried, outside of the gym. One needs special clothing, shoes, slippers, gadgets, music instruments and we haven’t yet mentioned diets.
