    Gym clothes. What to buy and where?

    Oh and sports direct for trainers! I bought a lime green and grey pair for about £38 and they are soooo comfy as opposed to a £80 nike free runs i got from the nike website. Go in, try them on and have a walk. They should be comfy, supportive and light.x
