If the last piece of your athletic wardrobe puzzle is proper running shoes, this spot makes it impossible to pick out the wrong kicks.

While you might think of the Running Room when it’s time to get new running shoes, they also carry workout apparel for both sexes. Their selection includes a bright rainbow of jackets, tops, sports bras, shorts, skorts, tights, pants, capris and vests. And, any athletic men who are tired of working out in basic black will love the store’s collection of colourful jackets and t-shirts to match with the more subdued shorts and pants.
They carry men’s and women’s workout clothes appropriate for every sport imaginable, from rock climbing and hiking to biking and yoga. You can pick out an entire athletic outfit here, from sports bra, top and jacket to pants, socks and running shoes. They even stock sporty skirts, dresses and swimwear.

This healthy lifestyle store is the only business in Canada that sells Lorna Jane, an Australian company that is the top seller of activewear for devotees of Pilates and yoga.

You can also shop by type of workout activity, from tennis and golf to running, Pilates and yoga.
You’ll find men’s and women’s athletic wear here from two popular brands – Under Armour and Russell.
