We all know decent gym wear costs a fortune. On top of the price of gym membership<\/a>, the eye-watering amount you can end up spending on kit alone is enough to make you break into a sweat and burn a few calories.<\/p>\n

However, Strictly star, professional dancer and mother-of-one Oti Mabuse<\/a>\u2019s new Reaktiv fitness range for Sainsbury’s<\/a> Tu clothing could be about to change all that, as prices start at \u00a310.<\/p>\n

At first glance, the range oozes quality – and at a quarter of a price that big-name rivals, such as lululemon and Sweaty Betty charge, it’s got the potential to be the perfect designer dupe. <\/p>\n

Plus, the range caters for sizes XSmall to XXLarge, which is another win.<\/p>\n

 But how fit is it for purpose? <\/p>\n

As someone who spends a huge amount of money going to the gym, and is always looking for ways to avoid eye-watering prices for my fitness gear, I gave five items a try over a week to see how they shaped up. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my verdict…<\/p>\n

Reaktiv Soft touch yoga roll top jogger, \u00a322<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"\"\t<\/div>
These yoga joggers have the same soft feel as more expensive options (Picture: Tu)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s your winner first off. The boot cut design make this instantly flattering and magically lengthens your leg. These are so soft and lightweight, I change into them after <\/em>my workout and team with a chunky sweater for a perfect style combination. <\/p>\n

The charcoal colour option is a great alternative to daytime leggings, while the navy blue option teams nicely with other colourway tops in the range. <\/p>\n

A wide waistband sits snuggly around your tummy, and it\u2019s true to size. I\u2019ve seen yoga joggers for sale for three times the price, with exactly the same soft feel.<\/p>\n

 Reaktiv scuba half zip funnel sweatshirt, \u00a324<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"\"\t<\/div>
It\u2019s perfect for workouts in a colder gym – or for chilling out at home in front of the TV (Picture: Tu)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Top fitness brands charge double the money per sweatshirt, and yet this feels like a premium product. <\/p>\n

Super soft to the touch, with a reflective stripe sewn alongside the zip front, it\u2019s perfect for workouts in a colder gym – or for chilling out at home in front of the TV. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m a size 12, and the medium was a nice loose fit, with a lovely subtle shape. Comes in grey or bright blue.<\/p>\n

Reaktiv Bright leopard print swing vest, \u00a314<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"\"\t<\/div>
Could it really look as good on me, as it does on Oti? (Picture: Tu)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To be honest, while this looks great on Oti, I wasn\u2019t sure if this would suit me. But in real life, the dark colours make this look like a top-price designer range. <\/p>\n

Fitness tops often pull at the arms, but the low-cut design under the arms gives you plenty of movement on the Cross Trainer. No friction or static either, just a lovely silky feel and a nice baggy shape around the tum. Generously cut, so size down if in doubt.<\/p>\n

 Reaktiv Mesh tank top, \u00a314<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"\"\t<\/div>
This could easily be worn outside the gym with a pair of jeans (Picture: Tu)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s very few pieces of fitness wear I could team with jeans but this lovely deep teal shade, combined with the softest of material, means this doubles easily as a daytime top. <\/p>\n

Size M was perfect for me, giving me plenty of space to move.<\/p>\n

 ReaktivPadded funnel-necked gilet, \u00a320<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"\"\t<\/div>
This gilet is machine washable which is an extra bonus – especially given the colour! (Picture: Tu)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fancy a bargain? This lovely padded gilet, which comes in cream, green (more of a teal) and a lovely charcoal grey, is a perfect lightweight option for your gym bag. <\/p>\n

Looks so much more expensive than it really is, and includes pockets for your keys. A gym must-have at a great price and guess what \u2013 machine washable, which is an extra bonus, especially if you get the white one! Win win.<\/p>\n

Oti x Reaktiv by Tu is available exclusively online at Tu.co.uk and Argos.co.uk and in selected Sainsbury’s stores now. <\/em><\/strong>Find out more here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
