P.S. They’re all Australian!
As we all learn to adapt to the craziness of the coronavirus, it’s important to make sure you’re staying active. To temporarily substitute your gym membership, check out YouTube for POPSUGAR’s fitness classes that are completely free. Or if you’re willing to spend a little, the famous Les Mills is charging $6/week to access all their online classes.
To help you stay motivated, use the money you would’ve spent on a new party outfit on some leggings and an exercise top. This time of isolation doesn’t have to lack excitement, we can just learn to translate it into different ways.
These are our top 3 Australian active wear brands that will keep you moving during isolation.
1. DK Active
Established in Brisbane in 2017, this young brand aspires to bring an ethical and inclusive energy to the activewear industry. DK prides themselves on their focus on keeping their “clothing kilometres” impressively low, with all of their garments designed, manufactured, and distributed in-house. This reduces the clothing kilometres of each piece to virtually nil! They also display ethical integrity in various other areas, such as their fabrics, their use of renewable energy and their packaging.

2. Team Timbuktu
Team Timbuktu, originally known as Mister Timbuktu, had a humble beginning. They had their first production completely crowdfunded and they’ve been growing ever since. The Melbourne based brand prioritises sustainability, with all products made using recycled fabrics and even plastic bottles. They’ve also made efforts to eliminate all plastic packaging.
Team Timbuktu is currently promoting their #WeWearAustralian campaign, and is offering 10% off storewide when you use code WWA2020 at the checkout. 5% of that 10% will be donated to Thread Together, an Australian charity that is delivering new, good quality clothing to underprivileged community members affected by the coronavirus.
