Festival season has officially begun! We’re talking perfect weather, flawless fits, and vibes?... unmatched.
Festival season offers everything we at Gymshark embody; the community feels, enriching experiences, and of course, conditioning (all those hours spent dancing is a workout itself you know).
That’s why we’re providing you with the Gymshark guide for festival season; whether that’s upping your stamina in the gym so you can dance for longer, getting your groove on with some dance workouts to get you in the festival mood, finding your festi’ fit or feeling your best pre-festival, this is one checklist you don’t want to miss out on.
So, who’s the designated shoulder-seat this year?
1. Warm-Up Ahead of Festival Season
If you’re anything like us, the warm-up to festival season probably started the moment you hit checkout on your tickets when the mental prep, screaming, and excitement began!
But as festival season approaches, many of us see this as an ample opportunity to hit the gym more, seek out new wellness routines and begin the shop for a new jazzy festival wardrobe.
How about perfecting your dance moves though? We know those crowds are going to be sporting some serious scenes with trending TikTok dance routines, so now’s the time to get your heart rate up and practice those moves!
We’ve got the perfect dance workout routine for you to get your groove on, ready for festival season whilst also getting on that pre-festival fitness hype.
Or if getting in the zone means more yoga and stretching for you, then you know where to go... download the Gymshark Training App to check out the Groove Plan workout and other fun workouts you can try at home or in the gym.
Making Moves
Making moves is all about embracing what feels good to you, so that when you hit the festival stage, you feel the best you can be.
Whether that's working on yourself mentally or physically, this summer we're prioritizing finding balance and enjoyment, so that you can make big moves at home, on the gym floor, and in the festival crowd.
Ahead of festival season, we held a Gymshark After-Dark Event in LA with an intense festival-themed spin class to celebrate everything we love about festival season - movement, community, and music.
If feeling your best is about being around like-minded people and enjoying the benefits of a fitness community, then why not get yourself down to a workout class every week prior as a warm-up to festival season!
You'll get used to meeting and moving around new people, and might even find some festi' goers there to buddy up with too!
2. Sport Your Best Looks
Our Editor's have put together a series of festival worthy picks to help you to stand out from the crowd this summer. Whether your go-to style is mixing sporty with streetwear, or if you're just looking for a fun new workout 'fit to get you in the mood for festival season, we've got you covered.
Cycling shorts have remained a firm favorite throughout the decades, from the extreme workout aesthetics of the 80s to a modern wardrobe, they keep you comfortable and looking cool throughout the day.

If there's any time of year to go bold with colors, it's festival season! The carefree and creative vibes allow for more expression than ever, so maybe you want to go crazy, or maybe you're someone that just wants to wear your favorite styles but in a fun vibrant color?
Whatever it is, we want to make sure you sport your best looks pre, during, and post-festival so that you feel your best in whatever you wear.
3. Post-Festival Recovery
