Private Label Activewear
Activewear Manufacturers for Private Label Brands
Private-label activewear allows you to sell fitness clothing under your own brand. You can customize the garment while building a consistent brand identity.
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:
- Fabric
- Colour
- Fit
- Measurements
- Panels
- Seams
- Construction details
- Prints
- Embroidery
- Woven labels
- Care labels
- Hang tags
- Packaging
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

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:
- Fabric
- Fit
- Colour
- Measurements
- Construction
- Branding
- Labels
- Packaging
- Order quantity
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:
- Tech pack
- Patterns
- Measurements
- Construction specifications
- Artwork
- Branding requirements
- Reference samples
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:
- Fit
- Measurements
- Fabric
- Colour
- Stitching
- Construction
- Branding
- Labels
- Printing
- Embroidery
- Packaging requirements
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
business days after design confirmation and required information.
Bulk Production
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.
10-Step Workflow
Our Activewear Manufacturing Process
A structured production process helps reduce avoidable errors. Our general workflow includes the following stages.
Send Your Requirements
Start with your design, tech pack, reference sample, sketches, or creative brief. Tell us your required quantity, fabrics, colours, sizes, branding, and target market.
Product Review and Quotation
Our team reviews the requirements and determines the information needed for production. We then provide project-specific pricing and production details.
Fabric and Trim Sourcing
Suitable fabrics and trims are identified according to the approved specifications. Fabric composition, stretch, weight, colour, and other requirements can be reviewed.
Sample Development
A pre-production sample is developed according to the agreed specifications. This gives the buyer a physical product to evaluate.
Physical Sample Approval
The customer reviews the sample. Required corrections are addressed before bulk production.
Bulk Cutting and Production
After physical sample approval, bulk production begins. Production follows the approved specifications and sample.
Inline Quality Control
Quality inspections are performed during production. Measurements and construction can be checked against the approved requirements.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
The company states that a pre-shipment AQL 2.5 inspection is conducted. Visual quality, measurements, print registration, and trim attachment are among the inspection areas.

Approved labels, hang tags, and packaging are applied according to the order requirements.
Export and Shipping
Finished goods are prepared for international shipment. FOB and DDP shipping options are available for applicable orders.

Why Work Directly With an Activewear Manufacturer?
