Overview
Here’s a bit about Lean Machine:
LeanMachineApparel is a gym brand based in
the UK South Wales .
Lean Machine Strength & Conditioning
Unit is geared to people who take their fitness training seriously.
Our aim at LeanMachineApparel is to
provide apparel that's affordable & usable & can be worn in or out of
the gym, that motivates and inspires you & others to take you to another
level.
We are a brick & mortar gym apparel
brand that's socially led. We are not happy with being another gym apparel we
pride ourselves by standing out.
What makes LeanMachineApparel stand out
from other gym brands is that you can customise our products - from the colour
of the hood to the colour of the graphics. We have around 10,000 different
options to make our clothing as individual as you. Also we can personalise
items for that signature touch. All items are hand-printed in house.
We had the pleasure of reviewing 4 items:
Men’s Heavy Fleece Shorts
Heavyweight short. Side pockets. Single
back patch pocket. Deep rib waistband with flat cream drawcord. Soft cotton
faced fabric creates ideal printing

Man or Machine Stringer
Design
The bold “LM” that emblazons the clothing
is a striking symbol which really sets the tone for Lean Machines clothing. You
can customize everything from the base colour to the colour of the graphics.
The “Man or Machine” graphic is a particular favourite of mine. Personally I
like clothes that stand out a bit so I elected for a bright pink graphic on my
black stringer and it looks great! Apart from the graphics that are printed on
the shirts are mostly single colour tops (with the exception of a few camouflage
options).
Comfort
No issues here at all all the items were very comfortable. The Stringer and the Cool Tech Vest were particularly comfortable,
some stringers can cut into you a bit while you workout but not this one. The
shorts weren’t a problem either, I’m not usually a fan of shorts and I normally
opt for sweatpants but leg day just felt better in LM shorts. Although they are
called heavy fleece shorts they are fairly lightweight and not too thick. They
didn’t hamper movement or performance during weights or cardio. The Man or
Machine T Shirt did stick to my back ever so slightly where the large graphic
was but it wasn’t ever an issue.
Fit
Everything fitted perfectly. To be honest
with stringers and shorts you can really go wrong here if you order the right
size. The Cool Tech Vest and the T-Shirt were nice and tight across the chest
without being restrictive. I would have liked the sleeves on the T-Shirt to be
cut just slightly higher maybe an inch or so just to really show off the
biceps.
Price
Heavy Fleece Shorts £12.99
Man or Machine T-Shirt £10.00
Cool Tech Vest £16.00
Man or Machine Stringer £18.00 (currently £10)
Can’t beat that! All of them are great
value.
Durability
They have all been washed several times,
ironed, worn to the gym numerous times and survived various sports. There are
no signs of damage and none of them shrunk in the wash and the colours haven't run, I have no doubt that in
a years time I’ll still be rocking my bright pink Man or Machine Stringer.
Results
To put it simply I like them a lot. There
is a lot to be said about customization with your clothing especially with
everyone looking identical these days like they have just come off a Primark assembly
line. I love the idea that you can pick the colours of the top and the
graphics. The clothes are all functional, well made, durable, comfortable and
reasonably priced. What more could you want?
I have no real issues with any of them,
they aren’t perfect but they are damn good.
