Verified by hand

Pairings we’ve actually checked

Real dupes need to agree on five things: fabric, knit structure, rise, compression, and construction details. Below are the pairings across our tracked brands that meet that bar — plus the ones the internet keeps mislabelling. Methodology in our finding-real-activewear-dupes blog post.

Leggings

Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Leggings×NVGTN Solid Seamless Leggings (Contour)

Real dupe

Axis	Gymshark	NVGTN	Verdict
Fabric composition	82% nylon, 18% elastane	82% nylon, 18% elastane	match
Knit structure	Seamless, ribbed contour panels	Seamless, ribbed contour panels	match
Rise & length	High-rise, ~26"–28" inseam	High-rise, ~25.5" inseam	close
Compression	Moderate (estimated)	Light-to-moderate (estimated)	close
Construction details	No pocket, double-layer waistband	No pocket, double-layer waistband	match

Three-of-five direct matches with the remaining two within tolerance. Most wearers describe these as effectively interchangeable, with NVGTN feeling slightly softer and Gymshark holding shape marginally better through long sessions. The fairest dupe pairing in the seamless category.

Leggings

Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Leggings×Oner Active Powerhouse Pocket Legging

Not actually a dupe

Axis	Gymshark	Oner Active	Verdict
Fabric composition	82% nylon, 18% elastane	76% nylon, 19% poly, 5% elastane	close
Knit structure	Seamless, ribbed contour	Panelled, performance jersey	different
Rise & length	High-rise, ~26"–28" inseam	High-rise, ~28" inseam	close
Compression	Moderate	Firm	different
Construction details	No pocket	Side pocket + back zip pocket	different

Frequently labelled a Vital dupe; isn't. The Powerhouse is panelled and firm-compression — closer to a Lululemon Align in feel than to anything seamless. Buyers expecting the soft, drapey Vital experience consistently find the Powerhouse "too squeezy." Both excellent leggings, but in different categories.

Leggings

Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Leggings×AYBL Balance V2 Seamless Leggings

Close, not identical

Axis	Gymshark	AYBL	Verdict
Fabric composition	82% nylon, 18% elastane	78% nylon, 22% elastane	close
Knit structure	Seamless, ribbed contour	Seamless, ribbed contour	match
Rise & length	High-rise, ~26"–28" inseam	High-rise, ~26" inseam	match
Compression	Moderate	Moderate-to-firm (estimated)	close
Construction details	No pocket	No pocket	match

Three direct matches and two close — close enough that the swap is defensible if you prefer slightly more compression than the Vital. The AYBL waistband sits a little firmer; otherwise the silhouettes are near-identical. Not a perfect dupe, but the cheapest credible alternative we've tested.

Leggings

Alo Yoga Airbrush 7/8 Legging×Gymshark Power Cropped Leggings

Close, not identical

Axis	Alo Yoga	Gymshark	Verdict
Fabric composition	87% poly, 13% elastane	75% nylon, 25% elastane	different
Knit structure	Panelled, brushed jersey	Panelled, performance jersey	match
Rise & length	High-rise, 24" inseam	High-rise, ~22" inseam	close
Compression	Firm+, sculpting	Firm, sculpting	match
Construction details	Hidden waistband pocket	Hidden waistband pocket	match

The fabric composition matters here — the Airbrush is poly-led and runs slicker on the leg; the Power is nylon-led and matter, with a hint more drag. Compression and structure are otherwise comparable. If sculpting and waistband hold are what you're chasing, the Power is the closest in-catalogue match to the Airbrush feel.

Sports bras

Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Sports Bra×NVGTN Solid Seamless Sports Bra

Real dupe

Axis	Gymshark	NVGTN	Verdict
Fabric composition	82% nylon, 18% elastane	82% nylon, 18% elastane	match
Knit structure	Seamless contour, longline crop	Seamless contour, longline crop	match
Rise & length	Crop length, scoop neckline	Crop length, scoop neckline	match
Compression	Light-to-moderate (medium-impact)	Light-to-moderate (medium-impact)	match
Construction details	Removable pads, pull-on	Removable pads, pull-on	match

Five-axis match. Even more direct than the leggings pair — the fabric composition, knit, fit, support level, and pad construction all line up. If you wear one, you wear the other. The price gap when both are at outlet/sale is the only reason to pick a side.

Sports bras

Born Primitive Foundation Sports Bra×Oner Active Effortless Crop Sports Bra

Close, not identical

Axis	Born Primitive	Oner Active	Verdict
Fabric composition	75% nylon, 25% spandex	78% poly, 22% elastane	different
Knit structure	Panelled, brushed performance	Seamless, ribbed contour	different
Rise & length	Longline crop, scoop neckline	Longline crop, scoop neckline	match
Compression	Medium-impact, removable pads	Medium-impact, removable pads	match
Construction details	Wide ribbed underband, pull-on	Smooth seamless underband, pull-on	close

Same support level and silhouette, very different fabric and underband structure. The Foundation feels more locked-in (panelled, ribbed band); the Oner Crop feels softer and stretchier all over. If you've worn the Foundation and miss it, the Oner Crop will fit but feel different — choose based on whether you prefer structure or softness.

Shorts

Born Primitive Rally Training Shorts (5")×Gymshark Apex Training Shorts (5")

Close, not identical

Axis	Born Primitive	Gymshark	Verdict
Fabric composition	92% poly, 8% spandex (4-way woven)	88% poly, 12% spandex (4-way woven)	close
Knit structure	Woven, no liner	Woven, mesh liner	different
Rise & length	5" inseam, mid-rise	5" inseam, mid-rise	match
Compression	None (free)	Light (built-in liner)	different
Construction details	Two side pockets, drawstring	Two side pockets, drawstring, hidden zip pocket	close

Same length and weave but different shorts in the way that matters most: the Apex has a built-in liner, the Rally is unlined. If you're a liner-shorts person you want the Apex; if you wear briefs underneath and want maximum airflow, the Rally is yours. Outside that one decision they wear identically through training sessions.

Leggings

Gymshark Sweat Seamless Leggings×AYBL Empower Sculpt Leggings

Close, not identical

Axis	Gymshark	AYBL	Verdict
Fabric composition	70% nylon, 23% poly, 7% elastane	73% nylon, 22% poly, 5% elastane	close
Knit structure	Seamless ribbed sculpt	Seamless ribbed sculpt	match
Rise & length	High-rise, ~26" inseam	High-rise, ~26.5" inseam	match
Compression	Firm, sculpting	Firm, sculpting	match
Construction details	Wide waistband, no pocket	Wide waistband, no pocket	match

Four-of-five matches. The remaining axis (fabric) differs only by a few percentage points; the wear feel is essentially identical. Of every "sculpt" legging we've compared, this is the closest the Empower comes to the Sweat — and at roughly two-thirds the typical price.
