Sweaty Betty's rebrand is exactly what I need from the fitness industry

As a millennial, I have a complicated relationship with the fitness industry. Having grown up surrounded by the toxic images of super-skinny being the desired state of being, I'm cynical about any attempt to push messages in the fitness space.

Elsewhere, the OG Sweaty Betty orange we know and love is back, alongside a fresh new primary colour palette and secondary palette of vibrant pastel tones, which feel just the right amount of feminine. There's also a new brand typeface, bringing the brand bang up to date and giving it a 'matey' and 'fun' feel that feels in line with the overall brand refresh.
