Ashina Active

Ashina Active was founded by Lydia Rees. As a busy mum and a pre and post natal trainer, my gym wear choices had always been about comfort, support and looking stylish. When I fell pregnant I discovered that there was a distinct lack of active wear that did just that. I resorted to wearing my teenagers T shirts and joggers on a daily basis, just to feel comfortable. Once I gave birth, my confidence was at an all time low. I again found there was a lack of active wear that looked good and made me feel confident in my own skin. I knew that I was not the only mum to feel that way, fitness should be a source of confidence and not anxiety. 8 out of 10 women opt out of working out if they do not feel good about themselves.

My aim was to design a range that was that made women feel amazing no matter what stage of their fitness journey they were on.

So, armed with a dream and a vision Ashina Active was born.
