Our Story

How bamae came to be...

As many great stories begin with something you love, bamae began from a love of fitness, self-discovery and the thrill of smashing workouts.

It wasn't about the gym, showboating or looking toned. It was about the journey, self-achievement, and setting personal goals and expectations.

Many people are proud of their journey and rightly so, we believe every step is an achievement. Spreading love and positive vibes to help others to embrace their bodies, train on their terms, and skyrocket their confidence. Better yet, everyone was included. 

However, being active on social channels means exposure to an array of expectations from people you don't even know. They tell you who you should be, what you should wear, how you should look and feel and do... it's exhausting. Where's the people celebrating you for being... well, you?

And that's where bamae comes in. You see, you're not defined by what you look like or what you do. All that matters is what you think and what you want to achieve. It's about taking steps forward, creating habits, and celebrating your wins. That's why bamae exists - to represent women of all sizes, races, ages and lifestyles on their journey. Supporting you in life and training with body-positive activewear and body-loving loungewear.

bamae is a community for like minded women to motivate one another, share stories, celebrate wins, promote self-love and female empowerment. Together we can forget the hopeless image given to women and make fitness fun again in a way that suits you.

What does bamae actually mean? Well it’s the letters of our three main pillars, Body & Mind & Earth. You see, we believe in a healthy body meaning not just physically but the fittest of your ability in each individual shape and size. We believe it’s not what your body looks like but in fact how your body can help you live your life. Our mind because we want to ensure we are positive and focused on the good things no matter how small so we maintain the best mental attitude. Also Earth as we believe adding sustainable clothing and organic cotton to help do our part for the future. We don’t only strive for the best version of you but also connect you with helping reduce environmental impact on our planet.
