Celebrity Fleur East crouching down, wearing Dare 2b activewear

We've joined up with singer-songwriter, TV Host, radio presenter and qualified personal trainer extraordinaire Fleur East for our second activewear collection, and we thought it's about time you all get to know her and this collection a little bit better.

Get To Know Fleur

D2B: What inspired your latest collection?

Fleur: As a qualified PT, fitness has always been a huge part of my life and I’ve always wanted to create a range of activewear that not only looks great but supports you when you workout. I love colour and print too, which you’ll see throughout my second Dare2B range.

The collection features mood boosting print and brights with a colour palette including Satsuma, Neon Pink, Live Wire Neon Orange, to complement wardrobe staples including Navy, Rainwashed Cornflower Blue, White and Black alongside leopard print accents.

D2B: What's your favourite piece from the collection?

Fleur: I love all of it, but the set I wear most is the Cornflower Blue/Satsuma leopard print bra with the shorts or the leggings depending on the weather. The the fabric is SO light you barely know you’re wearing them. The matching Torrek jacket is amazing too as it’s so comfortable and breathable, but waterproof. Win, win.

D2B:How are you finding life as a new mum?

Fleur:I’m loving it. It definitely has its challenges and there are good and bad days with regards to sleep and managing the night feeds, but it’s so rewarding. Being a Mum is the toughest, most magical phase of life so far.'

D2B:What to do you when you get time for yourself?

Fleur:I’ve always been active, and so when I get 30 minutes to myself, I’ll either take myself out for a walk to clear my head or we have a gym at home, and I’ll go in there do some stretching and some gentle strength work. I have learnt that you really must take a little time for yourself each day when you’re a mum.

D2B:How do you fit in workouts around a newborn?

Fleur:The first thing I do when I get up is put on my workout gear! The collection is so comfortable that you can easily wear it all day, but at least if I’m dressed for exercise, I know I’ll fit it in where I can. Whether that’s 20 minutes during nap time or a power walk outside.

D2B:How has your exercise routine changed pre/post-natal?

Fleur:I was training right up until I gave birth and while I adapted my routine, I did consistently workout throughout my pregnancy. Now my time is slightly limited, and I have had to adapt my training. I’m just taking it day by day and listening to what I feel like my body can do.
