In short: Fitted, plain, in a colour that is not the same as the gym floor or walls. Black on black in a dark gym leaves nothing to see. Avoid logos across the chest if the images are for a brand other than that one.
Colour. Anything that separates from the gym. Black kit in a dark gym leaves a silhouette with no definition — which is the one thing the session exists to show.
Fabric. Fitted and matte. Shiny technical fabric under hard side light produces blown highlights across the shoulders and thighs.
Footwear. Clean, and in frame for almost every lift. Chalk and scuffs read as authentic on hands and as neglect on shoes.
The thing that ruins frames. Another brand's logo across the chest when the images are for your own brand. It is the most common reason a shoot cannot be used commercially.
