You can read up more about these factors here.Let us now discuss the various gym-friendly clothes that you can incorporate in your uniform.

• Topwear
• 
  
• 1) T-shirt:Perhaps the most basic piece of clothing to have ever existed, a t-shirt is the simplest and most effective gym attire. A simple piece of clothing, it goes with most gym activities. A block-coloured tee with the name and logo of your gym clearly visible is often the best choice you can go with. Since t-shirts are further distributed into many categories, you will still have a large catalogue to choose from. You can go for full sleeves, half sleeves, V-neck or U-neck. You can also decide whether you only want to keep the custom-made t-shirts as your uniform or pair it up with joggers. While most gym owners usually opt for the former, choosing the latter guarantees trainers maximum comfort and functionality.
• 
  
• 2) Tank top:Another popular layer when it comes to working out is the tank top. The sweat and odour that an intense workout session can leave behind is not surprising news. And while for regular gym members it is a pleasant reminder of their hard work, for a trainer this is nothing short of a nuisance. A breathable item like this may seem like an unconventional part of a uniform but actually promotes functionality. Tank top is a neutral clothing item that works for both men and women. Apart from flaunting your muscles, the tank top (or gym stringer) has a lot of benefits. Sleeveless wear frees up your arms and makes for a relaxed workout session. The sweat-wicking technology of gym fabrics makes sure that you get your complete workout in without having to worry about sweat patches or the stink they leave in their wake.
• 
  
• 3) Sweatshirt:If it’s a colder region you are preparing for, a sweatshirt could be another smart choice. A sweatshirt is a breathable upper that allows insulation and frees up your body for a better workout. It does so by trapping heat which in turn loosens up your muscles. This gives your warm-up that additional boost and prevents sore muscles which is a must, especially if you’re a fitness coach.

• 1) Joggers:These are another excellent fit for a workout. Two things come to mind when you hear the word joggers―comfort and style. They are soft and allow complete movement of your body, thus guaranteeing maximum output from your workout. As is the case with sweatshirts, the insulation they provide make for an enhanced workout as it relaxes your muscles. Another reason why joggers are a great option to wear at the gym is that it wicks away moisture and keeps you feeling fresh. It also shields your skin and is perfect for layering. An insulating garment, it is ideal for winters.

• 2) Shorts:As with upper wear, if you want to ensure complete movement of your body, then a sturdy pair of shorts will go a long way in providing just that. Freeing up your legs would allow improved mobility, making it easier for you to coach your clients. As explained above, shorts would also decrease the amount of sweat and stink build-up. However, you may want to wear compression shorts or leggings along with regular shorts.

• 3) Compression shorts:These shorts, not unlike spandex, are made up of a stretchy fabric which becomes a part of your body, acting as a protective layer of muscle which applies pressure on your glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and adductors. While these don’t necessarily have to be included in your uniform, they are certainly a welcome garment for an extensive exercise session. Compression shorts reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, making it imperative for a workout, especially if it’s going to take up most of your waking hours. They also enhance blood flow and supply oxygen to your muscles which in turn betters their performance.

• 4) Compression leggings:Just like its shorter counterpart, compression leggings are another popular wear for gym members and coaches. However, unlike the former, these apply pressure on all your leg muscles. By restricting the jiggling of your muscles, it makes you less prone to injuries, making compression clothing a reliable workout partner for you. You can opt for this in cold weather or if you’re more inclined to injuries and soreness.
