So it's 2019... if you're anything like us you're thinking this year's the year you want to make changes and get healthier, but not set yourself up to fail... and 2 weeks in... the treadmill's lost its appeal pretty quick!
For us... it's alllll about finding the activity you can't get enough of - something fun, something that you love right from the start but keeps rewarding you as you bend that bit further, finally land that trick, or score that goal - and the rest will follow. We're all about positive changes, not unrealistic aims for a 6 pack in six months, losing 4 stone when you're goddamn gorgeous just as you are... it's about choices to make your life happier, boost your energy and having the best time doing it.
We LOVE all the crazy cool things you guys get up to in your Lycra, and you've put us on to a whole load of ways to keep fit that we'd never thought of. We also want to celebrate our giveaway (that's just launched over on our Instagram here) with Move GB to give one of you lucky lot a free membership to the most flexible kind of "gym", along with a brand new Karma Catsuit, to get you going!
Here are 5 of our fave ways we've discovered to keep fit, hope they give you some inspo to keep active, keep it wild and unique - and find a long term love that fits in with what makes you you.
Make like a music video and sass. it. up. There are so many of these classes popping up and we are HERE FOR IT. Whether you want to channel your inner Ms Spears at At Your Beat (available in London and in NYC), get your Yoncé on at Move Your Frame, be the next Carnival Queen or Vogueing goddess - there's a class for you.
Like a lot of Burnt Soul babes and boys... you may well be used to getting half your weekly steps on a dancefloor somewhere! Keep up that Dry January promise and swap out that G&T without giving up your raving fix... with classes like Clubbercise for cardio based dance classes with a black light twist. Or, for those of you who'd rather jump on a bike instead and get a Techno Hiit - hit up SoulCycle, Psycle or BoomCycle for a class near you.
Hooping madness... you guys know by now that we are massive fans of our Hoop community, not only is it crazy fun and satisfying when you manage to land a trick like magic... it also "gets your abs harder than diamonds" As Marawa says (super hooping World Record holder and general all round badass - Queen of the Stiletto Rollerskate - do not try this at home!!). In the UK, we love Hulaballoo and Playtone, in the US keep an eye out for Miss Mojangles' Hoopography courses... and you can find hula hoop classes all over the UK here.
Love flexing, moving and getting your Namaste on, but want to switch it up a little with a bit more of a party vibe? Well... you're in luck because there are some mega classes out there right now, all with different music twists for whatever tickles your fancy. Love yourself a bit of Earth Wind & Fire? Get yourself down to Disco Yoga - these girls will even treat you to a healthy cocktail afterwards... Kale Mojitos don't count during dry January, don't worry ;)
Fancy yourself as something of an 80s Madge? Time to get Vogueing then with the Voga chicks. A little more aerobic than your standard yoga stretch, but with the fierce dance moves and the tunes you won't be bothered by the burn.
Or what about some Deep House, disco and glitter? Hit up Groove Om Yoga for some serious sparkle stretching sass.
Let's face it, 2020 has been one stressful year! It's more important than ever to look after yourself, mentally, physically and emotionally. We've laid out four easy daily habits to relieve stress and help you live a calmer life.
Grab a cuppa and comfy seat as we sit down (virtually!) with activist, presenter and artist Mary Mandefield to find out what makes her tick, the importance of using your platform and her love of all things bright, bold and beautiful...

Taking the correct measurements
When measuring your bust and hips, make sure its on the widest parts (i.e. not under the bust or on the hip bone).
Measurer your waist at the smallest point just above your belly button.
For sizing information tailored to specific fabrics and styles please read the various infomation tabs within the products.
I am beyond in love with my catsuit! I am a 36 D Size 6 (US) and it fits like a glove, it’s very comfortable and flattering, didn’t need a bra at all and made me feel super sexy. What especially won me over was the amazing customer service, I had ordered the wrong print and noticed after purchasing so I sent a few emails and social media messages to try to see how to fix it. I received help immediately, got one on one advice on fit and shipping date information as I needed it for a specific date. I am so grateful for the friendly attitude received which only made me fall in love with this company and the amazing women behind it even more. I will be purchasing more items
I already had this same catsuit in the silver/white combo, but I'd had my eye on this rainbow one because it's just such a fun outfit. It fits perfectly and I'm in love with the colors. Also works great with just the bottom half showing as leggings with a sweatshirt over it.
The fit is just right. I decided to go for the 8/10. I’m an 8, generally quite small and small chest and it’s fits perfectly. I didn’t know whether to size down or up (6/8 or 8/10) and I’m glad I chose this size.
Looks amazing, love the high leg and colours. Will buy in other patterns!
My diva leggings are a new staple for me. I love all my burnt soul pieces but as they are mainly cat suits and sparkly numbers these leggings are the perfect way to wear my burnt soup every day. The fit is ideal and super flattering! I can’t stop wearing them- perfect for dressing up or down and working-from-home comfort 👌🏻 Love the print- the pink shock is so well placed and gives them such a dynamic effect when seen in real life 😊
I love everything I buy from Burnt Soul and I’m absolutely in LOVE with all the recycled Lycras. They’re really well made and fit me like a glove. Feeling like a million dollar goddess. Thank you ladies xxx
I love these leggings and I can’t wait to be able to wear them at a festival until that point I will dance around the house in them because I love them that much!
I bought my girlfriend the Joan tie swimsuit as she is planning a Burnt Soul party for her & her girls for her 50th birthday in Ibiza 2021. She Is delighted and looks incredible in it 😘x
I bought these for my son who is very sensory driven and he LOVES them! He wore them to Legoland so he was easy to spot in the play areas! We got a lot of compliments.
I cannot recommend this catsuit enough. Shipping to the US was fast and it's gorgeous in person. I was a little nervous about trying one of the less-stretchy fabrics, but found the suit comfortable and breathable.
Great catsuit for going to a party or dinner (rather than a festival or rave).. Looks really classy and feels great, the longer sleeves make it better suited to winter/colder events. I love the hanging fabric and neckline which really makes your waste look slimmer! Only downside is I feel like I'm going to rip it when I'm taking it off but other than that it is a really well designed and made piece of clothing. Love you guys x
My son absolutely loved these and I struggle to get them off him to wash. He tells me they’re his rockstar legs cause he’s a rockstar. Lovely material and great print
I sized down in this having read reviews and it was the right decision. This suit is amazing and I can’t believe how flattering it is! My first Burnt Soul purchase but defo not my last 👌🏼
