Gym shelf: Rowbuy Spreadsheet picks that live in the kit bag
Six cheap pieces for training. The joggers hide the trickiest menu on the whole site; the shoes come in Chinese sizes and open on size 35.
What training kit has to put up with
Gym clothes are washed more than anything else you own, so the checks are about fabric and seams that hold their shape: a neck rib that stays flat, cuffs that keep their grip, a waistband with a real drawstring. Shoes for indoor training need a flat, flexible sole more than cushioning. And the bag needs a separate pocket for wet things, which is the whole reason to buy that style.
Most gym picks opened on a preset size or colour you probably do not want. Two of them, the joggers and the holdall, showed a bottom line above the tag.
Slips on the gym shelf
Prices are Rowbuy's reading of the Taobao tag in yuan, with its own dollar conversion, on October 24, 2026. The bottom line is the product amount Rowbuy showed for whatever size and colour the page selected by itself. Seller photos may carry the shop's own watermark.
Plain quick-dry crew tee, men
Tag CNY 130.24 (about $19.23). Bottom line matched the tag.
Check: Sizes start at M and stop at 2XL. The preset colour is purple, so switch it if you wanted the black in the photo.
Photo check: Shoulder seams and a flat neck rib, photographed on a table rather than folded.

Blank basketball vest and shorts set
Tag CNY 55.23 (about $8.16). Bottom line matched the tag.

Fit notes for the gym kit
Chinese sportswear sizing tends to run small and narrow in the shoulders, so the men's tee starting at M is less generous than it looks. If a seller publishes a chest measurement, check whether it is the full chest or the flat width across the front; many charts give the flat width, which you double. The trailing dots on the jogger sizes are a typing habit of that seller and mean nothing.
For the shoes, Chinese size 40 is roughly a European 40, but indoor training shoes are built close to the foot. Measure your foot length and ask the seller which size matches it before you choose.
Photo requests for training kit
Gym clothes rarely arrive broken, so the warehouse photo is mostly about the right size and colour. Ask for the size label in the shot. For the joggers, confirm that one pair arrived, not two, if you corrected the colour menu. For the shoes, a photo of both soles side by side shows if the pair matches.
The general order we read photos in is on the photo checks page.
Parcel weight on a gym haul
This is the lightest shelf for postage except the shoes and the holdall. Shoes add a box unless you ask for it to be removed, and an empty holdall is all volume. Packing the tees and joggers inside the holdall is the sort of thing a warehouse may or may not do; ask when you submit the parcel. Run your guess through the kit weigher using the weights Rowbuy records after the items arrive.
