So incredibly defeated with needing to always wear black for function...

Stop choosing a boring fit for function. Stop worrying about your G-String rolling. Stop the embarrsement when you Breast Pads are sitting wrong. Stop your legs rolling up making you look like your wearing bummers when you didn't choose to.

Performance + Radiance

Reaching 17km on a half marathon & being told that you look beautiful in your set, is our flex.

    After my first workout in the Rhubarb set, I immediately ordered another one! The quality is incredible, and the soft, buttery fabric is unmatched. It provides the perfect balance of comfort and support—exactly what every mum needs. I also love my cap, socks, and water bottle. Everything I've purchased has exceeded my expectations, and I can't recommend this brand enough!

    The socks I never knew I needed! I always thought puffy thick socks were what I needed for running, turns out thinner compressed socks was my solution to stop my feet from going numb. Also have the visor and it’s great, holds its place with the elastic.

    I have both the beige babe and rhubarb rush Rhode Athletic sets. They are gorgeous to wear and always make me feel like “that girl” when I wear them. The fabric is gorgeous and the sewn in cups in the bras for me are an absolute winner as I am so done with shoving those things back into my sports bras after every wash! The built in panties are also a great touch. The Rhode Athletic visor and water bottle are also in high rotation in my every day life. They really are the multi purpose friends! I recommend Rhode Athletic to anyone keen to upgrade their workout wardrobe any day. Can’t wait to see what’s next xxx

    I placed my first Rhode order when I was newly postpartum and was desperate for activewear that made me feel comfortable and confident again.

    Rhode has that premium boutique activewear feel without the premium price tag. They’ve absolutely nailed the fit.  The waistbands stay put (no rolling down!) and the shorts don’t ride up on the thighs. The fabric has the perfect balance of compression for performance while still being soft and stretchy enough to wear all day. The colourways are gorgeous too.

    And can we talk about the socks? They’re bloody incredible. Every time I wear another pair of socks I am reminded just how much I love my Rhode ones! They’re genuinely the best.

    If you’re looking for activewear that performs, flatters and doesn’t cost a fortune, Rhode is 100% worth checking out.

Your Founder Story

I'm Vanessa. I'm 36, a mum of 2, and I train
at F45 Mackay. This year I'm chasing every Hyrox in Australia — Brisbane and
Sydney are done, Perth and Melbourne are next. I love the beach, I love
training, and I'm done with compromise.

I started Rhode Athletic because I was sick of being disappointed.

I'd buy activewear online, get excited, open
the box — and it would be less than I expected. The material wasn't right. The
fit wasn't right. The legs would roll up mid-squat. The pockets I didn't read
about weren't there. The breast cups would move around or get stuck in the
washing machine, and then I'd be playing with them at the gym trying to get
them back in position.

But the worst? The G-string roll-up. Going to
the toilet after a session and having to put a sweaty G-string back on. Tying
my keys into my G-string because there were no pockets. That friction, every
single time, made me not want to work out.

And I'd always have to buy black. Black,
black, black. Nothing wrong with black — but it's not me. It didn't make me
feel confident. It didn't feel like me even when I go out with friends. I
wanted color. I wanted to walk into the gym and feel like myself, not like I
was wearing someone else's uniform.

So I designed the activewear I'd been looking for.

Squat-proof legs. A waistband that stays put. Pockets that actually exist. Breast cups that don't move or get stuck. Organic
cotton lining so you can wear your favorite underwear — or nothing — without
that sweaty, rolled-up mess. Colorways that are pretty enough to make you feel
confident, plus moisture-wicking that actually works.

I didn't want something that was pretty but
didn't function, or that functioned but wasn't pretty. We need both. There's no
reason you can't look amazing and feel supported in your activewear.

Because here's the truth: if you don't feel
supported, you won't want to work out. Removing those little frictions — the
adjustments, the discomfort, the "I don't feel like me" feeling —
that's what makes it easy to stay healthy and strong.

Every set I make gets tested through my own training. Hyrox races. Early morning F45 sessions. Real workouts, real sweat,
real life. If it doesn't work for me, it doesn't go in your closet.

Rhode Athletic is for women like you — active, fit, mums, early risers, women who refuse to compromise on how they look or how they feel.

That's what we're building here.

Black hides you and you don't need to be
