The YPB by Abercrombie x Barry’s collection will be sold for multiple seasons.

YPB, the line of activewear by Abercrombie & Fitch, is partnering with Barry’s, the high-intensity interval workout studio, on a collection suitable for workouts as well as casual occasions outside the gym.

“At Abercrombie, we’re focused on outfitting our customers for every part of their lives, including the moments when they’re moving, training and feeling their best,” said Corey Robinson, brand president of Abercrombie & Fitch, in a statement revealing the collaboration.

“Barry’s has built an incredibly engaged community around performance and connection, making this partnership a natural fit for YPB,” Robinson said. “Working directly with Barry’s instructors helped us create a collection rooted in real workout experience, with the style and versatility our customers expect from Abercrombie.”

Officials described the collection, called YPB by Abercrombie x Barry’s, as designed to move “seamlessly from workouts to life beyond the studio” and incorporating performance characteristics as well as style.

The first collection, featuring performance fabrics, studio-ready silhouettes and functional layers, includes six styles for men and 12 styles for women. The collection will be available beginning Oct. 1 at abercrombie.com and in select Abercrombie stores, followed by barrys.com and 75 Barry’s locations globally on Oct. 15. Officials said the arrangement extends for multiple seasons.

Barry’s instructors Jon Herrmann, Amy Harioka and Lacy Mitchell provided design input into the collection, which was also inspired by Barry’s iconic Red Room, the red-lit studio where workout classes are held. The collection is designed with red accents that “reflect the energy of the space,” officials said, adding that items are also designed with black and neutral tones.
