About Us


ABOUT RESTANCE

We’re Restance—an activewear brand proudly based in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. We make premium, ethical gear for women and men who want to feel good and look good while moving through life.

We believe confidence has no size, no age, and no one look. That’s why our pieces are designed to flatter every body, without compromising on comfort, performance, or style. Whether you’re lifting heavy, stretching it out, running wild, or running errands—we’ve got you covered.

But we’re not just about clothes—we’re building a community. A global crew of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and vibes, united by self-love, healthy living, and real connection. And because we care about the planet as much as we care about your leggings fitting just right, everything we do is low-waste, fair trade, and made with love—from our biodegradable packaging to our ethical materials.

WHO’S BEHIND RESTANCE?

Meet Skye Singer—the heart and hustle behind Restance. A born-and-raised Kiwi, she lives in Upper Hutt with her partner Maddox (her rock) and their sassy miniature dachshund, Millie (aka the real boss) & new edition Duke black & Tan miniature dachshund 

Skye started Restance in 2022 after years of playing competitive sports and falling in love with gym life. She was tired of wearing activewear that didn’t quite fit right or feel like her. So she decided to create her own—pieces that move with you, lift you up, and make you feel like your most confident self.

With a love for bold design, a heart for community, and a real-deal commitment to doing better for people and the planet, Skye created Restance to be more than just activewear—it’s a vibe. A space where everyone’s welcome, confidence is contagious, and your fit feels as good as it looks.

 

WHAT DOES RESTANCE MEAN

The meaning behind Restance

Restance is inspired by resistance and resilience — the choice to keep going, no matter where you’re starting from. It’s about showing up for yourself, pushing through challenges, and finding strength in the process. When you commit your mind to something, anything becomes possible. 


Created for every body and every journey, Restance is a reminder that progress looks different for everyone — and that strength is built simply by not giving up!
