10 Black Owned Activewear Brands
No cotton t-shirts or leggings over here!
These black owned fitness brands are lead by women and sell workout clothes that were made for you to actually sweat in. You can look stylish on your next run or gym session or wear these outfits while you’re in the streets (I won’t judge you).
These brands were created with us in mind and have clothes for all shapes and sizes. Their items are made from moisture-wicking material and hug you in all the right places.

Run for the Culture
Shameless plug here. But let’s be real, this blog is my business.
There are so many things that I have in store for Run for the Culture but I can’t get there without the support of my readers.
As Kate Doster mentioned in her blog post, you can support me and other black creators simply by using our affiliate links for stores you already shop at.
For example, I have an affiliate link for Amazon and Old Navy. So anytime you shop using my link, I may receive a small commission at no cost to you. Even if you don’t buy the item I suggest, anything you buy using my link may help me earn a commission.
Here is my Amazon link and my Old Navy link.
Add it to your favorites so anytime you’re shopping, you can shop through my link.
Naturally Toned

Naturally Toned’s mission is to “inspire, encourage, and promote a naturally healthy lifestyle.”
This black owned brand has activewear for men and women. And they sell super cute bottle shakers and gym bags.
I personally own a few of their items and I definitely recommend to size up if you’re in between sizes.
Pro Tip: If an item you want is out of stock, sign up for email alerts so you’ll be the first to know when its back!

Tutu Fit Apparel
Website: https://www.itstutu.com

Tutu Fit Apparel launched its first line of clothing on Juneteenth (June 19) of this year.
The creator, Natasha, is a fitness influencer and former fitness brand ambassador so she knows a thing or two about style.
I purchased the blue outfit (pictured) and I am in LOVE. The material is super soft, lightweight, and the prices are very affordable.
She will be launching shorts soon so subscribe or follow them on Instagram to stay updated.
Pro Tip: If you’re in between sizes in the legging, size down. The material is so stretchy you can probably get away with a smaller size.
Body by Penelope

Their items are pretty limited right now but be sure to sign up for alerts and follow them on social media so you’ll be the first to know when they have new merchandise.

If you’re trying to work out and look like a snack at the same time… then this is the brand for you.
They are very popular and their items sell out pretty quick so I highly suggest you follow them on social media and sign up for email alerts.
One great thing about them is that they always offer FREE shipping to U.S. customers.
