Calling all gym-goers! This article is for you. It’s not as hard as it may seem to make sure your workout routine reflects your environmentally-friendly lifestyle. We’ve rounded up the best eco-friendly workout gear to help you make your fitness routine green.
The best eco-friendly workout gear
Gym bag
Tentree’s mobius 451 duffle is the ultimate eco-friendly gym bag. It’s ethically made using recycled polyester and BLOOM foam padding (a plant-based foam). Even better, the company plants ten trees for every purchase made.
Runners
Luckily for environmental and workout enthusiasts alike, the Adidas X Parley Collection has an array of sportswear that is made from plastic trash, most of which comes from the ocean! In addition to being designed to accommodate all your running comfort needs, these shoes have a woven upper made from upcycled plastic trash.
Socks
Boody’s Active Sports Socks are moisture-wicking and made with organic, sustainable bamboo. The company is also certified vegan and FSC certified, which means the bamboo harvested for their products does not contribute to habitat loss or destruction.
Activewear
Wear clothes that are better for you and the planet with the help of Peak+Flow. These workout clothes are made from both recycled and natural materials, including ocean plastic and eucalyptus pulp. In addition to selling environmentally-friendly swimsuits, shorts, and tops, this company also donates two percent of revenue to two separate charities: the first is 1% For The Planet and the other one percent goes to a charity of your choosing!
Consumers also have the opportunity to reuse, as Peak+Flow has an amazing initiative where they take back any clothes purchased in exchange for a Peak+Flow discount.
Yoga mats
Yoga mats are often made of materials that are harmful to the planet, including PVC and plastic. Instead, get your eco-friendly flow on with the help of these incredible brands!
Liforme Love Mat
Liforme makes yoga mats as planet-friendly as possible. The yoga mats by Liforme are PVC-free and biodegradable in about 1-5 years in normal landfill conditions (though the goal is that these mats last forever)! Their packaging is plastic-free and recyclable.
In addition to eco-friendly yoga mats, they also sell yoga pads and organic cotton t-shirts for both men and women!
Seeka Yoga
If you are looking for fun, functional, and eco-conscious fitness gear, look no further than Seeka Yoga. This company creates environmentally-friendly yoga mats with the goal of creating the smallest eco-footprint possible. All of their mats are made with non-toxic materials and printing methods. The best part is that for every mat sold, they plant a tree thanks to their #1mat1tree initiative!
