A Minimalist Gym Kit: What to Actually Wear to Train

You don't need a duffel of gear to train. You need a few pieces that move, dry fast, and don't quit. Here is a minimalist kit that covers the work and the walk out.

The base layer

Start with a compression Performance Tee — 200 GSM poly-spandex, high stretch, quick-dry. Wear it alone for lifting or under a hoodie for warmups.

The bottoms

Lightweight Training Shorts with a drawstring waist and a pocket — cropped for range of motion, built to dry fast. For cold starts, the cropped Forge Sweatpants layer over the top.

The warmup layer

A heavyweight Forge Hoodie for the walk in and the cooldown. 345 GSM holds heat without feeling like a blanket.

The carry

If you hoop, The Ballsack clips your ball to any bag — hands free, no more carrying it under your arm across the lot.

That's the kit

Base, bottoms, layer, carry. Nothing extra. Build yours from The Collection and take 15% off with LAUNCH15. Sizes on the Size Guide.
