I’ve been lifting for almost a decade and I have seen so many trends come and go. In here I will show you my timeless picks and also the ones for the ocasional “a la mode” 😁 I prioritize comfort, practicality, and affordability. Some items are an investment and trust me they are a good one (especially shoes). For others such as clothing, I prefer to go for dups that are affordable, comfortable, and cute because c’mon what girl doesn’t wanna look cute at the gym?
My preference for affordable picks for clothing comes from the fact that styles change often and you can soon be bored of the clothes or you need more clothes due to laundry schedules etc, so affordability will allow you to get multiple pairs for the price of one expensive brand name.
Shoes on the other hand - I have had my black metcons for 5 years and they are still kicking, and still in style - definitely worth every penny. The same goes for my white converse and my other lifting shoes.
Look around and take your pick. I own every single item on this list myself btw 💁🏻♀️

Once upon a time, a brand-new runner set out on their very first run. Their shoes were too stiff, their shirt was itchy, and their shorts… well, let’s just say they learned the hard way about chafing. Then one magical day, they discovered this list — gear tested over hundreds of miles, in sunshine, in rain, and in those dark early mornings when bed felt far too comfortable. Each piece had been worn, loved, and proven worthy by yours truly (you can spot them all over my Instagram). And so, the runs became smoother. The miles felt lighter.
