Discover the Sweaty Betty Story
Sweaty Betty
Empowering women through fitness and beyond.
Founded in 1998, Sweaty Betty has been shaking up the activewear market for over 20 years. Designed by women for women, our goal is to make you feel powerful and amazing from studio to street with the best fit and fabric.
Our Story
Growing up living an active lifestyle, Sweaty Betty began after our founder Tamara spotted a gap in the activewear market. After moving to London, she was shocked to find that the women’s sportswear on offer was dark and uninspiring, so embarked on a mission to create beautiful clothes for women who lived similar lifestyles.
After being made redundant she teamed up with her husband Simon and Sweaty Betty was born. Named after her determination to make it cool to sweat, Sweaty Betty is a design-driven activewear brand on a mission to empower women through fitness and beyond.
From Notting Hill to
Hong Kong
It’s safe to say we’ve travelled far in 20 years, from a small London boutique to a Hong Kong flagship. You can also find us in 50 Nordstrom locations across the US and concessions in Selfridges and Harrods.
My dream was to create clothing to make women feel powerful and beautiful.

Design Process
Every collection is inspired by our founder Tamara’s love of travel, and this fused with our inherent London style creates collections which are uniquely Sweaty Betty. Ever changing season to season, you’ll find new prints, fashion pieces and our signature bum-sculpting leggings to take you from studio to street.
Based in London, our all-female team are on a constant mission to create beautiful and technical clothes to flatter a woman’s body, especially the bum. We test everything in-house to check it really performs, with our team trying each piece out multiple times before it’s signed off. We even take a shower in our jackets to ensure they’re water resistant.
Fit + Fabric
We’re on a never-ending quest for the best technical fabrics. Our current obsession? Our infamous bum-sculpting Italian fabric.
