Ah January; that month when you make life changing promises to yourself to get fit, lose the Christmas stone you put on having indulged on Ferrero Rocher, and then promptly fail at keeping them. We all do it, so no need to feel guilty.
But I find I get a little excited at the prospect of two things: the first, a new diary for my Filofax, and second, new gym gear. And there are plenty of amazing brands to choose from. To help you get in the mood to think about going to the gym later this evening, we've put together our ultimate gym gear list to help you focus your work out style.
