Welcome To ALIGN

Hello and welcome to the Align community! 

My name is Skye and I am so excited to introduce to you my brand Align Activewear. 

Firstly I just want to say thank you for being a part of this journey! Creating an activewear brand has always been my answer when asked “If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?” So it feels so surreal that this dream is coming to life!

As you may know, fitness has played a significant role in my life. The gym in particular has shaped who I am today and is something that brings me so much joy and fulfilment. Specifically, it has taught me so much about self love and confidence - to learn how to simultaneously accept/love yourself whilst also working towards the best version of you. 

I also learnt that to reach a goal, whatever it may be, you must make choices that align with where you want to be. This goes for everything, not just the gym. This mindset has helped me grow so much as a person and is something I continue to practise every day. 

So when it came to choosing a name for this brand, Align was the only option that stuck with me. 

“TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL, YOUR ACTIONS MUST ALIGN”

The gym has the ability to change someone’s life in a multitude of ways. The first is of course physical, never underestimate the importance of moving your body! 

The second being mental. When you exercise your brain produces “happy chemicals” (serotonin) that improve your mood. Additionally when you put yourself in a positive environment, you set yourself up for success.

Everybody has their own personal story, struggles and triumphs when it comes to fitness but everyone is there for the same reason: to better themselves. 

When I first started my fitness journey, one thing that made me really love and look forward to training was picking an outfit (This is still the case lol). It sounds silly but choosing my outfit the night before made me more excited to workout. When I felt confident in what I was wearing at the gym, I enjoyed myself more and it motivated me to go back. 

These little things can make a massive difference in whether someone forms a positive relationship with the gym. I want women to look forward to their time at the gym, one of the few times we can block out the external noise and can focus solely on ourselves. I want them to not think of the gym or their walk as a “chore” but something that they enjoy. 

I want girls/women to celebrate their strength, to feel confident at the gym and be proud of their journeys. 

This is what Align is all about. Bettering yourself, taking aligned actions to get you to your goals. Romanticising the process of doing things for you and falling in love with the process.

Thank you again for supporting Align and being a part of this incredible new chapter! I am so excited to build this community of girls supporting girls, together!

I can’t wait to see you wearing Align and hearing your feedback, I am so proud of what I have created…and this is only just the start!

Lots and lots of love,

Skye x
