Gym Lifestyle, how the definition has changed in recent times

Being fit is a goal of every individual and everyone aspires to keep the body fit and toned. In recent times, going to the gym is considered one of the most convenient ways to stay healthy and fit.

A gym is simply no longer a place meant to train or exercise. It has graduated to a higher level and has now become a complete lifestyle in itself. It is no longer about going to the gym and exercising, it is much more than that.

Gym clothes

Selecting gym clothes is not an easy task, it requires a lot of effort. The selected clothes should be comfortable to wear and should also look stylish. If someone goes to the gym five days a week, they need at least five outfits to be fashionable. Anand Singh, Fashion Design Manager at DaMENSCH says, “The right workout clothes are an investment in your health. It can benefit you in multiple ways, such as improving blood circulation and providing oxygen to working muscles, resulting in better recovery, endurance, and improved power.” BlissClub founder and CEO Minu Margeret has repeatedly emphasized the need for gender-specific gym clothing for better performance and comfort.

Subsistence allowance

Gym diets continue to change today. For a few months or weeks, a particular diet or fitness trend is followed, then another celebrity or influencer shares a new diet and then takes over the old one. Whether ketogenic, high protein, low carb, or vegan, every diet has a shelf life and soon runs its course. There is a wide spectrum of diets that are now being suggested and followed as per the trend. Some diets are still in fashion and are widely followed, while other more exclusive ones are shared among close groups.

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