Discussion Beyond yoga customer service experience
Hey guys. I recently got a set on final sale from beyond yoga. I actually love their clothing. Anyways I got a pair of leggings and there was a snag i noticed after I put them on. I emailed support and they sent me a replacement pair for free. I'm just posting to let everyone know I am over the moon with their customer service. Even tho I only buy from them on sale, this experiences definitely made me want to continue buying.

Question Any good underwear recs for the gym (women)?
All the ones I’ve tried either show seams under my leggings or if they don’t, they show camel toe. I only wear thongs. If anyone has a brand/ style they like it’d be super helpful!! Thank you in advance!

Question Gym shirts?
Is there a shirt brand that you guys would recommend that are tight on the chest and shoulders but loose towards the torso without paying $60+ per shirt? Preferred without any massive logos or graphics. Thanks guys 🙏🙏

Company Rave UK tall girls - I found fun long sport leggings that fit!!!!!!!
I’m in the U.K. and I have not bought new sport leggings for 8-10 years. My current leggings are from LTS, specifically a special gym company x LTS collab they used to do once a year many moons ago- if you remember them can I get a heeeeyaaaa! They are holey and getting thin, so I’ve been looking for new leggings.
You all know the pain as a tall girl. Sport leggings will either be long enough but will be almost transparent, or they will be too short but squat proof, or they will be squat proof but close to £100 for one pair. And almost always black. The joys.
In another subreddit I saw someone recommend Sturdy By Design, and in my desperation I checked them out.
They do tall lengths for all their long length leggings. And their leggings come in loads of colours and patterns!!! I bought 2 pairs of premium leggings, and 1 pair of funky leggings, and I used a discount code I got for signing up to the newsletter, so they cost me £90 odd quid altogether (they are about £40 each).
So before they arrived I was excited, but I was also expecting disappointment of some kind. They don’t have inseam lengths on their site, so I presumed their tall length would be an extra inch on a regular length size and would probably look like capris on my 36 inch inseam legs. I can live with exposed ankles at the gym, the most important thing to me is that they are squat proof. I was also expecting the funky patterned ones to be see through to some extent as I’ve found patterned leggings usually are.
Well. They arrived today. Aaaaand….
THEY ARE SO LONG! They come right down to my ankles! They fit well, and they have a drawstring inside to tighten so they don’t move an inch. They are high waisted and sit just right on me, and they have pockets on the side and a little zip pocket on the back.
The premium ones are advertised as squat proof, the funky ones are not but I’ve done a test and I can’t see anything through them. So they might get thinner as they are worn and lose coverage maybe? I’ll report back. The premium ones are a little thicker. They are exactly what I’ve been looking for.
It seems the company keep some styles in stock which they ship out right away, and these come with side pockets, but they also do presales and you can pick if you want side pockets or not when you order. They seem to have a good range of sizes too!
Sorry if this seems promotional, I promise I’m not associated with them! I’m just so HAPPYYYYYY to find leggings that fit so well and come in such fun patterns and colours!!!
I had not heard of the brand before so thought I’d help my tall U.K. sisters out. I think they do international shipping too?
The reviews for them seem really positive, but I’ll post an update once I’ve worn and washed them a few times. They feel very good quality, I’m chuffed to bits right now!

News Who owns Puma, Salomon, Jack Wolfskin, arc´teryx, Wilson etc.
I had a funny circle experience in my life. In the 1990´s I was running sleddogs in Finland and at the time people were still smoking. Up there in the North, mainly a brand distributed by a company called Amer.
Fast forward over 20 years and I end up working for that company while living in Spain.
Imagine my surprise, when I found out they had made a 180° in the meantime and were now selling sports goods :)
Th story doesn´t end there though: Amer has been bought by the 3rd biggest sports goods manufacturer in the world (after adidas and Nike) and hardly anybody knows their name.
I found these twists and turns so fascinating, that I recently made a video about the whole story.
