Your sidekicks for every sweat session: dumbbells, resistance bands, trusty water bottle, and those headphones that drown out the world while you lift.

Not even joking when I say this is the best bang for your buck water bottle. I've had mine for almost 6 years and she's still kicking. Yes, you read that right, 6 YEARS. I have the 64 oz because I drink water like crazy. If there's one bottle I'd rec...
IRON °FLASK 64 oz

Cushioned and comfy for core work, floor exercises, stretches, and pilates. Great for people with elder knees such as myself 🥹 Folds back up for easy storage.

Compact and convenient for low-impact cardio indoors. I like to put this under my standing adjustable desk so I can work + walk at the same time.

Add extra resistance for glutes, legs, and lower body exercises during pilates. Trust me, they make a difference and it burns 🔥
Pilates Ankle Weights

Add extra resistance for glutes, legs, and lower body exercises, because why wouldn't we make pilates even more difficult for ourselves?
Resistance Bands

Makes hip thrusts more comfortable and effective, like you're at the gym trying to build that shelf 👀
Hip Thrust Belt

Expensive, but worth the money over ear headphones. Earbuds bother my ears, and I'm super picky with over ear headphones, but these passed the test. They aren't super heavy, hold a charge for a very very long time, and are comfy. I wear them around t...

🥤 Supplements

The behind-the-scenes crew: protein powder for recovery, electrolytes to keep you going, and creatine for that little extra “oomph.”

Vanilla flavored of course, but it actually tastes like a vanilla milkshake, and doesn't have that weird protein powder taste like many other brands I've tried.

Helps me lift a little heavier and feel stronger, easy to mix and take. Supports muscle growth, and comes in a variety of flavors.
Wellah Pump-It-Up Creatine

I feel dehydrated 24/7 despite drinking a ton of water so that's when electrolytes come to the rescue. Watermelon is my favorite flavor out of this pack.

Love the blue raspberry flavor of these electrolyte drink powders. I found these at ALDI.
PurAqua Blue Raspberry - Coconut Hydration Sticks

👟 Workout Fits

The uniform of champions (or at least of people who squat with confidence). Comfy, flexible, and cute enough for gym selfies.

Love anything from the brand DSG. This bra is high support for larger chested girlies like myself that need the extra help. Super comfortable, I wear them when I'm not working out as well.
DSG Women's Do It All High Support Sports Bra

Love the flare leggings from Hollister. They come in a variety of sizes and different lengths. I like the flare style because they make my legs look longer than they actually are. If you're a very short girly like me, these are for you.

🌮 Foods

Snack squad goals: protein chips and other grab-and-go bites that keep you fueled without feeling like “diet food.”

Absolutely love the loaded taco and nacho cheese flavor for taco in a bag, or to crush up and put on top of taco salad for a high protein meal after a heavy lifting workout.
Quest Protein Chips Variety Pack - 3 Flavors

I have a deep love for Salt & Vinegar chips, but they're not the greatest snack when trying to reach gym goals. These chips give both protein and the flavor I want. I wasn't a huge fan the first few bites, but quickly fell in love with the flavor...
Wilde Protein Chips Salt & Vinegar

Whatever magic they put into these protein bars, it’s working because they taste way closer to a candy bar than a health food. Each one packs 20 grams of protein, which feels borderline unfair considering how good they are. No weird sugar alcohol aft...
