Fashion Soul International supports private-label production for fitness and apparel businesses that need custom garments with branded details. Private-label production is suitable for brands that already have product concepts or existing designs.

You can provide a finalized tech pack for production. You can also begin with reference images or other product information.

Your project can include custom:

MOQ: 100

100 pieces per style, per color, per size run. This gives smaller brands a practical starting point without requiring very large initial production runs.

Wholesale & Bulk Orders

Wholesale Activewear Supplier for Bulk Orders

Wholesale buyers need consistent quality, reliable production, and clear communication. Our manufacturing model supports both developing brands and larger apparel businesses.

We can produce activewear according to your approved specifications. This includes fabric selection, measurements, construction, branding, packaging, and production quantities.

Athletic Jackets

Compression-Style Garments

Custom Team & Training Apparel

Product availability depends on the requested construction and materials.

Low MOQ Activewear

Low MOQ Custom Fitness Apparel Supplier for Startups

Starting a fitness clothing brand does not always require a large first order. Fashion Soul International offers a standard MOQ of 100 pieces per style, per color, per size run. This can provide a practical starting point for new and growing brands.

For example, a startup may develop one activewear style first. The brand can then evaluate the product, customer response, and future production needs.

MOQ requirements can vary by product, fabric, construction, and customization. For that reason, the final MOQ should always be confirmed with the manufacturing team before production.

Why Startups Use Custom Manufacturing

Custom manufacturing gives startups more control over their product identity. You can specify the:

This is different from simply purchasing generic fitness garments. Your manufacturer builds the product around your approved specifications.

Choose Your Production Route

Private Label vs OEM vs ODM Activewear

Choosing the right manufacturing model depends on your product development stage. Our team can help determine the appropriate production route based on your requirements.

OEM Activewear Manufacturing

OEM production is suitable for brands with original product designs. You can provide your own:

Our production team can support fabric sourcing, pattern grading, sampling, bulk manufacturing, and quality inspection.

OEM manufacturing gives brands greater control over the final product. It is especially useful when your design depends on specific measurements, panel placement, fabric performance, or construction details.

OEM vs Private Label

Private label and OEM manufacturing serve different development needs.

Private label generally works well when you want to customize an existing or developed base garment with your brand identity.

OEM is better suited to original designs and detailed technical specifications.

If you already have a finalized tech pack, OEM production can provide a clear manufacturing reference. If you have only an idea or reference garment, our development team can discuss the next steps.

Technical Guide

Performance Activewear Manufacturing in Detail

Fabrics, fit, construction, and specialist requirements for custom activewear. Select Read More to view the full guide.

1. Performance Wear Production

Performance wear requires careful attention to fabric and garment construction. Fabric choice affects stretch, recovery, weight, comfort, and movement.

We work with performance-oriented materials such as polyester blends, spandex, four-way stretch fabrics, and moisture-wicking polyester. Supplex nylon is also among the performance fabric options referenced by the company.

Four-Way Stretch Activewear

Four-way stretch fabric can support movement in multiple directions. This makes it useful for products such as leggings, training apparel, and other fitness garments.

The correct stretch level should match the garment design. Too little stretch can restrict movement. Too much stretch can affect fit and recovery. For this reason, fabric selection should be confirmed during product development and sampling.

Moisture-Wicking Activewear

Moisture-wicking fabrics are commonly used for performance-focused garments. They help move moisture away from the skin and support a more comfortable wearing experience during activity.

The exact fabric should be selected according to your product requirements. We can discuss fabric composition, weight, stretch, and finish during development.

2. Activewear Fabric Selection

Fabric is one of the most important decisions in activewear manufacturing. The same garment can perform differently depending on fabric composition and construction. Common performance considerations include:

Fabric Composition

Composition affects stretch, feel, durability, recovery, and performance. Options may include polyester blends, spandex blends, nylon-based materials, and other performance fabrics.

GSM

GSM means grams per square metre. It indicates the weight of the fabric. A higher GSM generally indicates a heavier fabric. However, GSM alone does not determine performance. The fibre composition and fabric construction also matter.

Stretch

Stretch is important for garments designed for movement. Four-way stretch can provide movement across multiple directions.

Recovery

Recovery describes how well fabric returns toward its original shape after stretching. This is particularly important for fitted garments such as leggings.

Moisture Management

Moisture-wicking materials can be useful for performance-focused products. The fabric specification should match the activity and intended customer.

3. Custom Fitness Apparel: Gym Wear, Leggings & Sports Bras

A running garment may need lightweight construction and moisture management. A training garment may require stretch and freedom of movement. A studio garment may place more emphasis on comfort, fit, and appearance.

Gym Wear

Gymwear can include:

Training tops
Gym tanks
Workout shorts
Leggings
Sports bras
Athletic jackets
Training garments

Fabric selection depends on the intended activity and garment design.

Training Apparel

Training apparel can be developed around movement, stretch, fit, and durability. Four-way stretch materials can be considered for garments requiring greater freedom of movement.

Fitness Leggings

Leggings require careful attention to fit and fabric recovery. Important specifications can include:

Waistband height
Waistband construction
Inseam
Rise
Leg opening
Stretch
Fabric weight
Opacity
Stitching
Branding placement

These details should be finalized during sampling.

Sports Bras

Sports bras require careful measurement and construction. The required support level should be defined before development. Other specifications can include:

Strap design
Back construction
Band width
Cup shape
Fabric stretch
Lining
Branding

4. Studio-to-Street, Pilates & Yoga Apparel

Modern fitness brands often design garments for more than workouts. Studio-to-street collections can combine active performance with everyday styling.

Studio-to-Street Private Label Activewear

These products may be designed for transitions between fitness studios, travel, errands, and casual settings. A studio-to-street collection can include:

Leggings
Cropped tops
Oversized layers
Athletic jackets
Joggers
Casual performance tops
Coordinated sets

The right fabric depends on the intended product. A garment designed for training may need different performance properties than one designed mainly for casual wear. This is why product development should begin with the intended customer and use case.

Custom Pilates Apparel

Pilates apparel often requires a close fit and comfortable movement. Garments should allow the wearer to move without unnecessary restriction. Possible Pilates products include:

Leggings
Fitted tops
Cropped tops
Sports bras
Training sets
Lightweight layers

Product development can focus on stretch, recovery, waistband construction, fit, and comfort. Your specifications should define the desired fit and intended use. A sample can then be developed for physical evaluation before bulk production.

High-Impact Yoga Wear Supplier

Yoga apparel can require flexibility, comfort, and secure construction. High-impact activities may also require additional support depending on the garment. For yoga and fitness collections, product requirements can include:

Four-way stretch
Comfortable waistbands
Flexible construction
Secure seams
Appropriate fabric weight
Moisture management
Custom branding

The exact fabric and construction should match your product concept. A physical sample provides an opportunity to assess fit and construction before bulk production.

5. Seamless Leggings & 3D Knitting Requirements

Some activewear brands require seamless leggings or 3D-knitted construction. These products use different manufacturing methods from standard cut-and-sew garments.

If your project requires seamless construction or 3D knitting, provide the exact technical requirements during the quotation stage. These may include:

Knitting method
Yarn composition
Gauge
Compression zones
Seam requirements
Size range
Pattern or knitting specifications
Logo placement
Colour requirements
Packaging

3D knitting and seamless production should be confirmed for your specific project before being included in a quotation.

This prevents incorrect assumptions about production methods.

6. Sustainable Activewear Manufacturing Options

Sustainability requirements can vary widely between brands. Some buyers focus on recycled materials. Others prioritize lower-impact processes, responsible sourcing, packaging, or waste reduction.

Fashion Soul International states that it holds ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification. The company describes this certification in relation to areas such as waste reduction, energy efficiency, chemical management, and responsible sourcing.

If sustainability is important to your collection, provide your specific requirements during product development. These may include:

Preferred fabric composition
Recycled material requirements
Packaging requirements
Material certifications
Supplier documentation
Colour and dye requirements
Waste reduction goals

Specific material certifications should be confirmed for the actual fabric selected.

Sampling

Activewear Sampling Before Bulk Production

Sampling is a critical stage in custom apparel manufacturing. A production sample gives you an opportunity to review the actual garment before bulk manufacturing begins.

Bulk production begins only after physical sample approval.

Fashion Soul International states that bulk production begins only after physical sample approval. The sample can be reviewed for:

Any required changes should be communicated before approval. Once the physical sample meets the agreed requirements, written approval can be provided for bulk production.

Production Timeline

Activewear Production Timeline

Production timing depends on the product, materials, specifications, and order requirements. The current standard timeline is:

Sample Development

7–14

business days after design confirmation and required information.

Bulk Production

20–35

business days from physical sample approval.

Shipping transit time is separate from production time.

Rush production may be available for selected orders at an additional cost. The final production schedule should be confirmed for your specific order before production begins.
