Re-Fit

Stay fit and help save the planet

The amount of Fitness clothes and trainers I have bought over the years, working in the Fitness industry and even more, when fitness gear became even more trendier to wear on a daily basis. I cannot accommodate the excess clothing so i give to my sister or donate to charity. Unsustainable activewear will eventually be a thing of the past as more Fitness Brands such as Adidas, Stella McCartney, Tala are heading towards Eco-friendly, organic, sustainable materials.

Recycle fitness clothing

85% of waste goes to landfills and clothing occupies about 5% of landfill space Landfill space is expensive and hard to find.

Water and energy are used to manufacture clothing, throwing your fitness gear out is a shameful waste. Fresh water is a dwindling resource and energy use contributes to global warming, the biggest environmental problem of our times.

Gyms have a huge turnover of lost property, which are disposed of after 2 weeks. Either thrown away or donated to charity. Being Eco conscious, we are visiting gyms and picking up smelly, sweaty items to wash and recycle. The plan is to set up Pop up shops over the UK and donate 10% of profits to the British Heart Foundation. Help save our Planet and get fit with Re-Fit.
