Getting rid of that extra flab through workouts is fast becoming an important lifestyle choice for many. However, gone are the days, when one would pick up an old pair of tracks, don on a worn-out tee and head off for a morning walk or jog. Nowadays, before even one enrols at his neighbourhood gym, one scoots off to the nearest garment store to get hold of that perfect attire: comfortable, yet trendy. The need to look and feel good has never been so vital.

The holy trinity of sport-brand stores—Adidas, Nike and Reebok—caters to this very need of weight watchers in the city. From tracks, work-out tees and sweatshirts to wrist bands, shoes and slippers, they house it all.

Urban Yoga, Ajile, Kapa are other brands that are slowly making inroads in the city. Most of these can be found in departmental stores and shopping malls, such as, Pantaloons, Lifestyle, Bangalore Central and Westside. In fact, some of these stores even have their in-house brands as well.

For the not-so brand, but budget, conscious, there is Rakhra Sports. One can also check out Arihant Plaza for some smart deals.

So how about stretching out with your coveted brand?
