5 cute and comfy activewear looks for 2025

As a Pilates teacher and founder of online virtual studio/App LMP, you won’t be surprised to learn I have a lot of activewear. I feel best in comfy loungey but well put together looks rather than sporty workout wear. I think my wonderful members and followers feel the same as I get asked where I get my activewear from quite often. I wanted to start doing some journal posts with my fave looks in.

As a Pilates teacher and founder of online virtual studio/App LMP, you won’t be surprised to learn I have a lot of activewear. I feel best in comfy loungey but well put together looks rather than sporty workout wear.

I think my wonderful members and followers feel the same as I get asked where I get my activewear from quite often. I wanted to start doing some journal posts with my fave looks in.

For our 24 Days of Pilates 5.0 challenge, I wore head to toe Adanola so wanted to share some of my favourite looks from the challenge with you here in this post. I’ve also shared how I style pieces, some favourite Adidas and New Balance vintage finds and our first ever LMP tee which you can shop now.

I’ve popped links to everything below.

Look 1

Top: Rib long sleeve open back top in white - £38.99 - shop here. There’s also a similar one on sale for £25.00 here.

Bottoms: Cotton yoga pant in grey melange - £42.99 - shop here. Shop on END clothing in black friday sale here.

I really like the uncool cool look, if you know what I mean. These straight leg comfy grey pants paired grandad style new balance vintage trainers. I got these new balance ones from Quatrième vintage store.

Look 2

Top: Short sleeve classic t-shirt in powder blue - £27.99 - shop here.

Bottoms: Yoga pant in midnight blue - £46.99 - shop here.

Look 3

Top: Long sleeve classic t-shirt in coffee bean - £36.99 - shop here. Another long sleeve top in the coffee bean colour but a bit more fitted here.

Bottoms: Modal cotton pants in coffee bean but unfortunately they don’t have this colour anymore. Only in black or grey. I have the grey pair too. £52.99 - shop here.

Look 4

Top: Cotton long sleeve top in desert beige - £36.99 - shop here.

Bottoms: These loose fitted Adidas tracksuit bottoms, I live in. I got them second hand from Messina Hembry. I really like these red ones too but she honestly has a huge collection, you’ll definitely find some.  

Look 5

Top: Here’s my LMP tee! I created this to celebrate the 24 days of pilates 5.0 challenge and honestly I am going to wear it all year round. It’s £36.00 and 100% organic cotton with our fabulous unique illustration on the back.

5 Gorgeous Retreats on LMP’s Radar

I have been lucky enough to have taught on and hosted many retreats in my Pilates career so far and after having my son Sebby in 2023, we ran two retreats that year in Cornwall and Tuscany with Sebby strapped to me in the carrier. However, I knew I had to put a little pause on them after that and am excited to run some again in the future, I’m thinking 2028 (lol) so save the date hehe!

Turning 33

I turned 33 last week on the 16th January 2025. This is not one of those posts where I tell you all the things I’ve learnt in 33 years. Mainly because honestly I feel like I am just getting started. 33 really is still young isn’t it? Isn’t it? I love how long life hopefully is and all being well I am only just over a third of the way into it. “In 2022, the life expectancy at birth for women born in the UK was 82.57”* I’m aiming for 100 but I’m also not obsessed with it.

The top 3 books I read in 2024 and why

Sitting here in the corner of my bedroom while my son Sebastien naps in the bed. I was reading my book for a while while he napped. It’s Talking At Night by Clare Daverley and I’ve very very nearly finished it but I’m doing that thing where you drag a book out because you’ve enjoyed reading it so much you don’t want it to end. It’s reached by top 3 books of 2024. Here’s why plus the two other books I highly recommend you read.

My routines and habits for autumn

I really want to take care of myself over the next few months. I’m going to be honest with you, I have been so freaking run down recently. I keep getting some sort of cold, flu or virus every three weeks or so and then never fully recovering. I am SO ready for our 24 Days of Pilates 5.0 challenge starting within the LMP virtual studio on 1st December and really want it to kickstart the new “taking care of myself” me.
