The soft bamboo activewear I reach for when I want to move well and feel like myself
If you’ve ever wanted gym and yoga clothes that feel as considered as the rest of your wellness life, soft and sculpting and made from bamboo and organic cotton rather than a wardrobe of synthetics, BAM is the brand I keep coming back to.
BAM is a UK brand that makes activewear and everyday clothing from bamboo. The colours are what catch my eye first, rich and earthy shades that feel like me. Then I feel the fabric: soft, supportive and made to move with you.
Below you’ll find every BAM piece we have on Glowing Healthy, from the sculpting training top I live in to the buttery Mallea leggings I wear for yoga, and exactly why I love each one.
BAM’s winter layers are reduced right now, including the Sculpting Training Top and both pairs of leggings below. Add code GLOWINGHEALTHY at checkout for a further 10% off, even on sale prices.

Why I trust BAM
BAM was founded by David after an expedition to Greenland left him wanting to build an environmentally sustainable clothing business. When he discovered bamboo, the brand says, he knew he had found it.[2]
BAM describes sustainability as being at its core. Its stated goal is to become Impact Positive, with targets for a lower carbon footprint, fair treatment across the supply chain, zero waste to landfill, zero pollution and zero wasted water.[2]
💖 Bamboo and organic cotton. BAM says its Enduro fabric is a stretchy, supportive, non see-through jersey made from 64% bamboo viscose, 24% organic cotton and 12% elastane.[1]
💖 Buttery soft yoga fabric. The Mallea leggings, the brand says, are 90% bamboo modal and 10% elastane, with just the right amount of stretch.[1]
💖 Made to move. Sculpting tops, supportive leggings and soft crop tops for the gym, a run or your practice.
💖 A UK brand. You buy directly from BAM, which ships across the UK.[3]

My BAM favourites
Sculpting Training Top: my everyday gym layer
This is the jacket I reach for for the gym. It’s stretchy, with thumb loops and discreet zip pockets, and it has that held-in, sculpting feel while still letting me move.
If you’ve been looking for a natural alternative to the synthetic sculpting jackets everyone wears, this is the one.
“Looking for a natural alternative to the Define jacket? This is THE ONE!!! I avoid synthetic activewear, so I love how this jacket sculpts my body while being made from natural, breathable materials - it’s become a staple in my wardrobe.” - Georgie x
Shop the Sculpting Training Top
Unity Crop Top: support with a soft V-neck
The Unity crop top is the yoga piece I love for its soft V-neckline and racer back. It gives me just enough support for my practice and looks beautiful with high-waisted leggings.
“I love how this top combines support and elegance, and knowing it’s made from natural materials makes it even better.” - Georgie x
Enduro Sculpting 7/8 Leggings: for training
For training, I reach for the Enduro sculpting leggings. They’re made from BAM’s bamboo, organic cotton and elastane jersey, so they’re supportive and non see-through, the brand says.[1]
“I avoid synthetic activewear, so I love how these leggings offer the comfort and performance I need while being made from natural, breathable materials.” - Georgie x
Mallea 7/8 High Waisted Leggings: for yoga
For yoga, it’s the Mallea leggings. They’re buttery soft and high-waisted, made from bamboo modal with a little elastane, and they feel like a second skin.
“I love how these leggings feel like a second skin - the soft, breathable fabric keeps me comfortable, and knowing they’re made from natural materials makes them even better.” - Georgie x
Enduro Sport Shorts: for warmer days
The Enduro shorts are the ones I reach for on warmer days and for intense training sessions, with the perfect mix of stretch and support.
“These shorts give me the perfect mix of stretch and support for my workouts, and I love knowing they’re made without synthetic plastics. They feel soft, breathable, and so much kinder on my skin, especially on intense training days.” - Georgie x

Fit, care and delivery
💖 Fit. BAM suggests considering going up a size on some Enduro pieces for a roomier feel. Check the size guide on each product page.[1]
💖 Care. Follow the care label on each garment. Gentle, cool washes help any soft natural fabric last.

💖 Returns. Unworn, unwashed items with tags attached can be returned through BAM’s returns portal. Check BAM’s returns page for the current window and terms.[4]
Who BAM is perfect for
💖 You avoid synthetic activewear. Bamboo and organic cotton in place of a drawer full of polyester.
💖 You love a sculpting fit. The Enduro pieces have a supportive, held-in feel.
💖 You practise yoga. The Mallea leggings and Unity crop are made for the mat.
💖 You want colour. BAM’s earthy, rich shades are a joy to wear.
Why I choose plant-based fabrics for activewear
I wear activewear almost every day, often while I’m warm and moving, so the fabric against my skin matters to me. Washing synthetic clothing has been shown to release large numbers of microplastic fibres, so choosing mostly plant-based fabrics is one simple way I’m reducing the plastic in our laundry.[5]
BAM pieces still contain a little elastane for stretch, which the brand is open about, but most of what touches your skin is bamboo and organic cotton.[1]
