From sports bras to running shorts, finding workout gear for every athlete can be daunting. Between the various brands, styles or sport specific pieces, shopping can become overwhelming for guys and girls. We asked a few of our Milestone trainers and group exercise instructors what their current favorite brands and styles were to workout in and why. Certain pieces may be great for Pilates but not ideal for cycling or running. Let our staff help guide you in the right direction! Do you have a personal favorite workout brand or style?

• Lululemon wonder under crops are my fav workout pant. They are comfy, stay put, and great for all types of workouts.
• Lululemon cool racerback is my fav workout tank. They are great for all types of workouts, comfortable, and come in a ton of colors and patterns.

• I can’t stand to workout in full length pants.  I HAVE to be in either Yoga pants or shorts. I really love Victoria’s Secret PINK brand for Yoga Pants
• Nike Tempo Shorts. I especially love my Alabama Nike Tempo shorts with the Houndstooth on the sides! ROLL TIDE!!

• Lululemon Run Swiftly Tech Racerback- Keeps you dry while doing any activity
• Nike Studio Wrap- Great for Pilates mat classes or for use on the Pilates equipment. They provide traction with the barefoot feel!

• Hoka Running Shoes - Great support on my knees for outside runs!
• Polar Watch - Easy to keep track of my calories burned in my daily workouts.
