(and where to shop the latest season activewear in Auckland)
As the warmer weather returns, so has our motivation to get moving. The right wardrobe is a great motivator for exercise, making it infinitely easier to say “yes” to a spontaneous walk or a quick workout.
No time for a full gym session? No problem! Small, intentional movements add up to a big change.
Takapuna is bursting with gear to get your spring style into high gear. Let’s go.
Sunrise stretch
Start your day with a simple stretch session on Takapuna Beach, soaking in the morning sun and fresh air.
Lululemon is the gold standard for a sunrise yoga session on the beach or a leisurely walk around the lake.
Your activewear should be ready for spring’s sunny days and sudden showers. This gear makes you feel like you can conquer anything.
Car-free commute
Leave the car at home for quick errands or a coffee run. We’re a pretty walkable city up here on the North Shore. Getting out on foot is the ideal way to tick up some steps and do your bit for the environment.
We may be biased, but we reckon Federation’s track pants are the perfect downtime clothing. It’s kind of stuff you’ll want to live in, whether you’re recovering from a workout, hitting that laid-back vibe or ticking off that weekend task list.
Known for their cool graphics and comfy fabrics. This is true Kiwi fashion, headquartered right here in Takapuna.
Walk & talk
Turn a catch-up with a friend into a stroll. Stop by one of our amazing cafés while you’re at it! Can you take that work meeting on the trail? What about your daily phone calls?
If you’re looking to stand out on a stroll, LSKD is top-notch trending clothing for everything from lifting weights to lifting your latte. This brand is all about functional fashion that blurs the lines between gym, sport, and street. Expect bold designs and fabrics that can handle anything you throw at them, from a serious workout to a spontaneous night out.
Speaking of trend-focused flex, Glassons’ new season activewear is all about ditching the dark winter palette! Spring is the time to introduce pops of vibrant hues, soft pastels or fabrics that feel fresh and light. Get to Glassons to grab those on-point pieces without breaking your budget.
Lunchtime laps
Take a brisk 15-minute walk on your lunch break to reset your mind and stretch your legs. If the daily beach stroll is getting old (not that we think it can!), you could try and conquer Takapuna’s top local walks.
If you need to gear up on footwear for your spring exploring, the Merrell store in Hurstmere Road is your best friend. Hit the trails, climb new heights, and embrace the outdoors life.
And even the most high-tech sneakers sometimes need a little attention. Before you ditch your beloved running shoes, a visit to the master craftsmen at Takapuna Shoe Repairs can work magic. From re-gluing soles to patching up wear and tear, they can extend the life of your favourite footwear.
Ready, set, go! (to Takapuna)
The weather is getting warmer, and your activewear game is about to get stronger. Get to Takapuna, grab your gear and go conquer that coastline!
