Red Room Ready
Merging fashion and fitness like no one else, Barry’s has everything you need to break a sweat in style
words by Miles KENNEY
Already known the world over for their peerless, signature workouts, Barry’s Bootcamp also offer a pretty spectacular shopping experience. Earlier this year, their long-standing collaboration with lululemon reached new heights as they released their Stronger As One collection. Carefully designed in collaboration with Barry’s top trainers, each piece is guaranteed to keep pace with the intensity of Barry’s 60-minute signature workout.
The collection features pieces such as the Adapt The Strap Bra, designed exclusively for Barry’s. The Adapt the Strap Bra features an innovative, easy to use strap adjuster at the front that allows the wearer to tighten it as the workout ramps up and loosen it as the workout starts to wind down. Much-loved lululemon signature styles have also received a little Barry’s twist. Think embossed, ‘Stronger As One’ tights, built with lululemon’s famous and full-on, Luxtreme fabric, but adorned with an exclusive Barry’s print.
lululemon isn’t the only collaboration you’ll find in the studios though, Barry’s has joined forces with other luxury and boutique fitness labels such as PE Nation and Splits 59 to bring fans of the Red Room a slice of the best high-fashion sportswear and leisurewear on the market.
For those looking to keep things local, Barry’s has you covered. It’s a global brand, no doubt, but each Barry’s studio represents a unique community offering its own little something special. No matter what city you’re in, you’ll find core, location-specific items, each displaying the staple Barry’s logo and your home location. In the UK, these pieces are developed locally using sustainable fabrics like bamboo. That way, you can help the environment while you break a sweat – bamboo is 50% more absorbent than cotton.
Everything we’ve mentioned is available in studios now, so next time you’re booked in for an hour in the infamous Red Room, why not reward yourself with a little post-workout, retail recovery? EJ
