The cold snap rippling through Brisbane this week has done nothing to help the motivation levels of exercisers throughout the city, so it’s a fortunate coincidence that sportswear label 2XU has opened its first dedicated Performance Centre in Brisbane, giving us that little bit of extra inspiration to get out of bed. Founded in Melbourne in 2005, the brand is now stocked in stores across the globe and is quickly becoming one of the most technical sports brands on the market.

Pronounced ‘two times you’, the company began life as a triathlon-specific sportswear brand, but in the past decade has expanded to include cycle, run, wetsuits, fitness, accessories and a Compression range that’s worn by members of the Australian Institute of Sport, Swimming Australia, Rowing Australia, Netball Australia and more. 2XU relies on independent scientific research to develop its fabric and construction technology, which is tested in consultation with industry experts and sporting institutes to ultimately help you train smarter, perform better and recover quicker.
