As the countdown to the New Year begins, Brits are turning their thoughts to fresh starts and fitness resolutions. To help kickstart those health goals, Marks and Spencer has launched a significant clearance event, offering coveted activewear from brands like Sweaty Betty at discounts of up to 50%.
Stylish Shorts for Serious Savings
For runners or gym-goers, the Get Set 2-in-1 Layered Gym Shorts present a standout deal. Originally priced at £55, they are now available for just £27.50. The shorts feature a chic leopard print, a sweat-wicking inner layer, and a loose outer layer for coverage and comfort.
Shoppers have praised their quality and fit, with one noting they are the "best exercise shorts ever" for staying in place during runs and squats. Another highlighted the "supportive" underlayer and the modesty provided by the lightweight top fabric. However, some advise sizing up, as the shorts can run small.
For those preferring solid colours, alternative options are also on sale. GymShark's Running 2-in-1 Shorts are reduced to £17.50 (from £35), while Nike Running Tempo shorts are marked down to £28.50 on ASOS.
Leggings with Power and Print
If you're after more coverage, Sweaty Betty's Power Printed Cropped Leggings have been halved in price, now costing £40 instead of £80. These bold purple leggings offer a slim, contouring fit with a supportive mid-rise waistband, made from a breathable, stretchy fabric blend.
They include both zip and open pockets for convenience. Reviews describe them as "very comfortable" and "worlds apart" from standard high-street sportswear, though a minority of wearers noted the waistband can occasionally slip down during intense activity.
Versatile Trousers for Training and Leisure
Beyond traditional gym wear, the sale also features versatile pieces like the Explorer Cargo Cuffed Lightweight Trousers. These have been reduced from £118 to £59 and are praised for their comfortable, crease-resistant fit.
With an elasticated waistband, cuffed ankles, and four-way stretch material, they are designed for all-day wear and light workouts, offering a relaxed, athletic look.
This M&S sale, featuring discounted items from popular fitness brands, provides a timely opportunity to invest in quality activewear without breaking the bank. Whether your 2026 resolution involves running, yoga, or gym sessions, new gear can provide that essential motivational boost to help you stick to your goals.
