According to a 2018 report from Sport England, "By the time girls reach their teenage years, just 10 percent of them meet daily activity levels recommended by chief medical officers." A concerning statistic, many individuals ascribe this gap to the message expressed through tight-fitting, romanticized training apparel & uniforms.


Gendered standards have been prevalent throughout women's & men's athletics, as the competition is often divided on constructs of femininity vs. masculinity, delicacy vs. strength, artistic abilities vs. power, etc. Along these lines, female's performance clothing is constantly restricted to fulfill the expectation of a women, recognized through skorts, leotards, and bikinis. Inducing discomfort among athletes, this female-oriented standard is antiquated, causing those to lose sense of identity and develop anxieties about their figure.

our city apartment has very little storage space, and we love skiing and camping, which requires a lot of bulky gear. we decided to use removals and storage london as an off-site solution. this removals company london picks up our seasonal equipment when we don't need it and stores it securely. it is a great space-saving solution that allows us to keep our hobbies without living in clutter.
