Shop Local: Evol Activewear
There’s a new activewear line joining Sudbury’s local clothing scene! Evol Activewear is a clothing brand designed for individuals with a fitness-oriented lifestyle. We spoke with Tylor Ralph, one of the creators and designers behind Evol Activewear, to find out more about the brand and where it’s headed next!
Tell us about the inspiration behind Evol Activewear. Where did the idea for the brand come from? Have you always been interested in starting a clothing line?
Our primary goal was and is to create an athletics clothing brand that motivates people, whether it’s in fitness, sports, or any other aspect of their lives. The name Evol stems from the word “evolution” and the logo represents an arrow, which moves ever forward. We wanted this to be a metaphor for self-development and enrichment. There was some trial and error involved before the purchase of any clothing, as far as graphic design, naming the brand, and brand identity as a whole. It’s something we’re really proud of and has been in the works for a while!
What sets your brand apart from other activewear lines and collections?
We believe what sets our brand apart is that we’ve taken the time to make the adjustments necessary to please our customers with the best quality we’re capable of providing. From the start, we’ve given our manufacturer details from the ground up such as a premium fabric blend we’ve selected, and measurements we’ve determined through trial and error, and have received phenomenal feedback so far. This feedback is what inspires us to push forward with the best quality possible and not simply stamp our logo on template clothing provided by other companies.
Fitness training is more popular than ever; what can we expect from Evol Activewear as the brand continues to grow?
As of December 2016 we released our first ever men’s t-shirt in a slate blue/ silver colour-way. We are currently in the process of reviewing samples for our second wave of men’s tees (black and gold & black & grey colour-ways) with a new design. Women’s tank tops are also in the works and can be expected as our third wave. All of these are fitness inspired, although we’re aiming to provide simple enough designs that are just as flattering outside of the gym. !
Do you have any advice for our readers who are also striving to lead an active lifestyle? How do you stay motivated?
Set goals, set goals, and set goals! Both short and long term goals are essential.

Although it’s easy to get caught up in the present with work, school, our social lives, etc., you need to think about what you want most above what you want now. As long as you have goals, it’s all about structuring your life in a way that allows you to reach them. Even as we sample our current men’s tees, we’re motivated to provide women with equally great if not better products in the future; this is a current goal of ours.
Where can we purchase clothing from Evol Activewear, and how can we stay in touch?
Currently you can purchase Evol Activewear by contacting us through our Facebook page. We have also posted contact information on the page. Unfortunately we don’t have a website up and running just yet, but plan to have on online store available with the release of our women’s line. Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming amount of support we’ve received so far! We hope you keep up with your goals and we’re excited to hear your feedback on our next release. For updates you can follow us on Facebook as well as on Instagram, @evolactivewear.
