Terminal 2 is where GIG hides its gym wardrobe upgrade
Track and Field in Terminal 2 leans into Brazilian activewear: leggings, tops, and swim pieces that look more Ipanema than basic airport hoodie. You’ll see higher-end athleisure cuts and fabrics, the kind locals actually wear to smart gyms in Rio rather than souvenir stands downstairs. Expect pricing to match that positioning, more “mall brand in Zona Sul” than outlet.
This shop sits airside in Terminal 2, so it’s useful if you’ve already cleared security and realize your workout gear is still in checked luggage. The focus skews to women’s leggings, sports bras, and tops, with a smaller rack of men’s shorts and shirts. Sizes and cuts are built for actual training, not just loungewear, so fits run more athletic than oversized.
Stock typically covers full outfits: sports bras around mid-tier Brazilian pricing, leggings a notch higher, and a few swimsuits if you’re heading straight to Copacabana from GIG. Fabrics trend toward quick-dry and compressive materials, better than generic souvenir T‑shirts two shops down. Don’t come here for shoes or heavy outerwear; this is clothes-first, accessories-light.
Use Track and Field if you forgot gym gear, want one decent outfit for hotel workouts, or need a cleaner T‑shirt after a sweaty taxi ride to Terminal 2. Try tops and leggings on before buying; Brazilian sizing can run tighter than US or European brands, and returns after leaving Brazil are a pain.
