13 Gym Brands Like YoungLA for Stylish Workout Gear
Count the tanks in your gym bag. If four of them carry the same YoungLA chest print and the fifth is in the wash, you already know the problem. The cut works, the price works, and you're bored.
YoungLA sells gym-to-street apparel for men and women, with tanks and tees from $18 to $42 and joggers from $48 to $60. Thirteen other brands hit the same register, and each one takes the idea somewhere different. A few cost less. Two of them ship in Australian dollars. One sells punch bags alongside the hoodies.
| Brand | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Gymshark | $22-$90 | The closest match to YoungLA |
| Alphalete | Mid-range | Lifters who follow the founder |
| 247 By Represent | $85-$100 on tops | Gym kit that costs like your going-out clothes |
| ASRV | $88-$198 | Fabric technology and hybrid training |
| Elite Eleven | A$75-A$105 | Australian basics with a shopfront |
| Talentless | $39-$129 | Rest day, not the squat rack |
| NOBULL | $9-$99 | Shoes first, no logos anywhere |
| P.E Nation | A$75-A$229 | Women who want colour |
| BoxRaw | Mid-range | Anyone who trains like a fighter |
| SAVD | €25-€79 | Faith graphics on oversized cuts |
| ROKFIT | $32-$45 | The cheapest graphic tees here |
| Gymreapers | $30-$54 | Powerlifters who need belts too |
| PacSun | Mid-range | Testing the look before you commit |
Gymshark
Gymshark is the closest thing to a direct swap for YoungLA, and it's the biggest brand on this list by a distance. Ben Francis started it in 2012 in a Birmingham garage with a sewing machine and a screen printer, and it now runs 14 online stores selling into more than 200 countries.
The men's range prices lower than you'd expect from a brand that size. The Crest T-Shirt ($22) sits at the bottom, the Power T-Shirt ($36) in the middle, and the Crest Oversized Hoodie ($46) undercuts most of what YoungLA charges for fleece. Only the Running Elite 1/4 Zip ($90) climbs into premium money.
Best for: Anyone who wants YoungLA's silhouette with more colourways and a returns process that works in most countries.
Alphalete
Alphalete came out of the lifting community rather than an apparel boardroom. Christian Guzman built a fitness audience on YouTube first and the clothing line second, which is why the brand still moves on drops and colourway announcements instead of seasonal collections.
The range covers workout clothes and athleisure for men and women, priced mid-range against YoungLA rather than under it. Alphalete's site blocks automated shoppers, so we're leaving specific prices out here rather than quoting numbers we can't stand behind. Check the men's shop directly before you plan a basket.
Best for: Lifters who already follow the brand's athletes and want gear that signals it.
247 By Represent
247 By Represent is the training line from British label Represent, and it prices like the main collection rather than like gym kit. The Team 247 Oversized T-Shirt ($90) costs more than double YoungLA's tee, and the 247 Oversized Tank ($100) more than triple its tank.
You're paying for the heavier hand of the fabric and the fit, which runs deliberately roomy through the body. The collection runs to 359 pieces across tops, shorts, outerwear and footwear, so it's the one brand here you could dress in from the gym to dinner without changing. The Team 247 Oversized Tank ($85) is the least painful entry point.
Best for: Style-first lifters who'd rather own four expensive pieces than twelve cheap ones.
ASRV
ASRV builds its whole pitch on fabric, and it names the fabrics like components. Tetra-Lite, Aerotex, Laser-Vent and WarpFlexx all appear in the product titles themselves, so you can tell what a piece is made of before you open it.
Prices sit well above YoungLA. The TETRA-LITE Training Jogger ($118) is the entry jogger and the Tetra-Lite Cargo High Rib Jogger ($158) the flagship, with the Laser-Vent Training Tee ($88) and the Weather-Ready Ripstop Shell Jacket ($198) either side of them. The bottoms collection alone runs past 300 pieces, and shorts spread from $88 to $138 depending on which fabric you pick. Buy one jogger and see whether the difference is worth four YoungLA pairs.
Best for: Hybrid training, where the same kit has to run and lift in one session.
Elite Eleven
Elite Eleven started in Melbourne in 2014, packed out of co-founder Benn's bedroom with his friend Lisandro. By 2024 it had 11 retail stores across Australia, which makes it the one brand here you can walk into and try on.
Prices show in Australian dollars by default, and the site converts to more than 50 currencies. The Classic Hoodie (A$75) and the Classic Relaxed Hooded Zip Through (A$85) are the everyday pieces, with the Teddy Fleece Zip Through (A$105) for winter. Australian orders over A$120 ship free.
Best for: Australian readers who want to check the fit in person before buying.
Talentless
Talentless is what you wear to the gym and home from it, not what you train in. Scott Disick founded it, and the name is the joke: the brand's own site frames the label around what it calls "Uncommon Success".
The clothes are plain by design, in Steel Grey, Pitch Black, Bone and White. The Premium Tee ($45) matches the Drop Shoulder Tee and the Mock Neck Tee at the same price, and the Heavyweight Hoodie ($129) is the piece the brand is known for. If you want several, the Men's 6-Pack Tees ($99) works out cheaper per shirt than YoungLA. Women's pieces start with the Modal Cropped Tank ($39).
Best for: Rest days and travel, or anywhere you want to look put together without trying.
NOBULL
NOBULL is a shoe brand that also sells clothes, which reverses the order of every other brand here. The Outwork, the Drive 2, the Journey 2 and the Allday carry the range, and the Allday 365 runs at $99 on the current offer.
Everything else is deliberately plain. The Crew Performance Sock ($15) is worth buying several of, the Crossbody Bag ($35) and Low Profile Trucker Hat ($35) round out the kit bag, and replacement laces cost $9. No graphics, no slogans, nothing you'd have to explain.
Best for: Flat-soled lifting shoes and a wardrobe with no writing on it.
P.E Nation
P.E Nation is the women's option on this list, an Australian label selling what it calls active streetwear and athleisure. Colour is the point. The pieces read as sportswear from across a room rather than as gym kit that happens to be bright.
Prices show in Australian dollars on the global store. The Radar Full Length Legging (A$99) and the Solis Scoop Sports Bra (A$79) are the core pairing, the Reflect 5" Bike Short (A$75) the cheapest way in, and the Lennon Sherpa Jacket (A$229) the piece you'd wear to brunch afterwards. The site switches to US, UK, NZ and European pricing if you'd rather see your own currency.
Best for: Women who want their training clothes to read as fashion first.
BoxRaw
BoxRaw sells the boxing lifestyle, and the same site carries hoodies, hand wraps, gloves, punch bags and full boxing rings. The brand states its mission as being "the Reason why the World got into Boxing", built on discipline and love.
The men's clothing covers t-shirts, shorts, hoodies, tracksuits and competition wear, plus sauna suits and Impello boots elsewhere on the site. Fit runs slim through the body, which is the opposite of the oversized cut most brands on this list have settled on. Shipping reaches the USA, UK, Europe, the Middle East, South Korea and China.
Best for: Anyone who spars, and anyone who trains like they do.
SAVD
SAVD takes its name from "saved" and prints scripture where other brands print logos. Bible references sit in the product names themselves, so you know what you're buying before you look at the graphic.
Its international store prices in euros. The Joshua 1:9 Lion Performance Shorts (€45) and the SAVD Oversized Hoodie (€79, down from €89) are the best sellers, with oversized tees like Psalm 23:4 Shadow of Death at €35. Snapbacks run €25. The oversized, drop-shoulder cut sits close to YoungLA's, which is why the two get compared.
Best for: Christian lifters who want the message on the outside.
ROKFIT
ROKFIT has been printing gym tees in Oklahoma since 2010, which makes it the oldest gym label on this list. It splits its range into two fits and tells you which is which on the label, so you don't have to guess from the photo.
The Active Tee ($32) is the athletic cut and covers most of the catalogue, including The Mariposa, Strength Is Earned and Death Before Decaf. The Street Tee ($40) is the oversized version, with The Obstacle Is The Way and Dare To Fail among them, rising to $45 for long sleeves. That's the cheapest graphic tee on this list, YoungLA included.
Best for: CrossFit boxes and anyone who buys tees six at a time.
Gymreapers
Gymreapers makes apparel and lifting equipment under one roof, so the same order can carry a t-shirt and a lever belt. The brand describes itself as created by athletes for athletes and backed by record-holding powerlifters, with "Nothing is given, everything is earned" as its line.
Apparel prices land close to YoungLA's. The Basic Shirt ($30) and Conquer 7" Shorts ($32) are the cheap end, the Training Shorts ($48) and DNA Tee ($48) the top. Buying in threes cuts the rate: the Basic Shirt 3-Pack is $75 against $90 separately. We've written more about the range in our guide to brands like Gymreapers.
Best for: Powerlifters who want knee sleeves and a hoodie from the same checkout.
PacSun
PacSun is a retailer rather than a gym label, and that's the reason to use it. California casual sits next to skate and Y2K pieces in its own-brand range, priced mid-range, and you can buy one graphic hoodie to find out whether the oversized look suits you before spending $129 at Talentless.
Treat it as the trying-on step. Nothing in the range is built for heavy training, and the fabrics won't hold up to four sessions a week the way ASRV's will. For a similar entry point in pure streetwear, our brands like Hellstar roundup covers the graphic-heavy end.
Best for: Testing the aesthetic on a small budget before committing to a brand.
How to Pick Your Next Gym Brand
Start with the number you'll spend on one tee. Under $35 keeps you in ROKFIT ($32) or Gymreapers ($30), and Gymshark's Crest T-Shirt drops to $22. Past $85 you're into ASRV and 247 By Represent, where the money buys fabric engineering and cut rather than a bigger logo.
Then decide what the clothes need to say. NOBULL and Talentless say nothing on purpose. SAVD puts scripture on the chest, BoxRaw puts boxing there, and P.E Nation skips the text and says it in colour.
If you're mostly after the hoodie rather than a whole wardrobe, our hoodie brands like Mr Winston guide narrows it further, and gym brands like Kill Crew covers the same ground from a different anchor.
