Stylish fitness

For today's post, I got to thinking of fitness programs, as I recently joined a local gym. Is it just me, or does it seem like it is easier to work out when one has cool gear for said workouts?! Let me highlight some of my favorite brands for workout apparel.

When it comes to shoes, I tend to gravitate towards Nike, Adidas, and Reebok. I absolutely love the release of bright colors in trainers, as of recent. For a while now, my work shoes even included a pop of bright coral pink. That was until they decided to make everyone wear all black. I miss the last way of expressing individuality in my work uniform!

I love yoga clothes for working out. They seem more airy and breathe better, which is better for me with how much I sweat! 

I have just heard about a UK fitness apparel brand called Sweaty Betty. They were just running an online promotion code (USACR), which gives US customers 15% off PLUS free shipping! Quite a good deal if I do say so myself! I went a little crazy, but can't pass up the limited time coupon code. My haul included these:

"Kriya" leggings in gray (bought black too!)


"Karma" yoga pants in black


"Mantra" tank in coral (also purchased gray and black)


Lastly, I couldn't resist the cute hot pink microfiber workout towel!


Even after a few years of owning it, I still love my pink yoga mat from Lululemon Athletica. It's so cushy, and has ample space for any position your yoga program throws at you!


Lululemon offers a lot of variety in workout gear as well, but is a bit on the pricier side.

I'd like to finish off this post with how much I've been enjoying my gym, 24 Hour Fitness. It's quite inexpensive compared to most gyms - offering machines, fitness classes (Zumba, yoga, pilates, etc.), a pool, and of course personal training. Very good experience so far, and hope to see the start of a new me in a few months!

Happy workouts everyone! Til' next time!
