It just so happens that the only strictly-female gym in my area closed down. Typical, right?!
Just as I was getting into a consistent pattern with my workouts and overall healthier lifestyle..
Anywho, it's back to outdoor walks / runs for me, but this begs the question – what do I wear?
Exercising in public as a Muslim woman means finding an outfit that is modest but still practical and lightweight. After scouring the internet (and asking trusted friends around me), I've pieced together a list of the best modest gym wear companies for you to check out:
Disciplined Clothing
Launched in the Summer of 2020, Disciplined Clothing is here to bring you your loose fit, breathable yet totally functional modest gym wear for all year round.
From burkini swimsets, to oversized gym tops and sports hijabs, Disciplined offers a wide range of fits to help you stay covered while doing the activities you love.

Syndeed are one of the only modest gym wear companies that offer jilbab sportswear. The completely oversized, loose-fit gym wear is the perfect solution for when you want to exercise and not show reveal the shape of your body.
