AfriBix Fitwear: Everything You Need To Know

This post is sponsored by AfriBix Fitwear. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Finding the right fitwear that matches your style can seem like a needle in a haystack. Finding one that makes you feel confident in the gym is even harder. I remember when I first started training, I was always grabbing clothes that didn’t make me stand out. An all black fit would do the trick. Being the centre of attention wasn’t my thing and it still isn’t to this day. As my confidence grew, my love for colourful clothes grew more.

Wearing colourful fitwear gave me more confidence in my lifts because I felt like I was becoming the person that I had dreamed about. These colours pushed me to venture out of my comfort zone. It can be very comfortable remaining in that safe space. Thanks to AfriBix Fitwear, I was able to push myself a little further by incorporating patterns and prints.

I rarely take pictures outside and decided do get comfortable with the uncomfortable for this photoshoot campaign. Although I was nervous at first, wearing the patterned and printed clothing allowed me to feel more confident in myself. These two sets are statement pieces in themselves.

About AfriBix Fitwear

All the items I wore in this shoot were gorgeous from the colours down to their representation of Black and African culture. I always love having a piece of my Nigerian heritage in everything that I shoot whether it is clothing, hair, jewellery or the music around me. The bold red colour with the various African prints are perfect for not only gym sessions whether that is powerlifting or running, but they are comfortable for a lounging at home – which is perfect now that it is autumn and we are spending more time at home.

Materials and Fit of AfriBix

The material is very different to what I am used to as it is thinner than the thicker fabrics that I wear. The stretchiness and the fact that it is squat proof despite being a thinner fabric makes it my go-to outfit when I want to wear something bright to match my mood. The waistband, which can cause issues for some due to it rolling down, didn’t have that effect for me. I didn’t have to pull up the Tribal Print leggings or the Tribal Ubuntu Lycra shorts once whilst training which is a huge plus for me. The Tribal Print sports bra comes in both padded and unpadded, I am wearing a medium in the unpadded version in the photos. It was comfortable and compact – no room for anything to slip out but the padded version would have been better for my powerlifting sessions.

If you are looking for something that is:

1. Stylish yet comfortable to workout in
2. Comes in various styles that promotes body positivity and overall wellness
3. Celebrates heritage, individuality and inclusivity

This may be the brand for you.

To Conclude

AfriBix is worth checking out! Hands down, I love that it is a Black-owned and women-owned brand where the deisgns are completely done by the owner and her team. I love that it has this personal touch of heritage and bod positivity that is showcased in every single item. Doing a photoshoot in these pieces was an experience!
