Shoes
As someone who loves to run but has flat feet, these sneakers give me all the comfort!
Run don't walk to get these! I've purchased multiple pairs of these shoes and they have worked wonders for me. Highly recommend!
HOKA® Arahi 7 for Women
Athletic Wear
These brands work for any and all body types. There's something here for everyone!
I have at least 10 pairs of these leggings! The price is more approachable than the Align leggings at Lululemon and I would say the quality is about the same. These are buttery-soft and extremely comfortable.
Aerie Offline Leggings
These are the OG leggings. They are on the pricey side but once you get a pair you'll understand. They aren't see-through and they'll last you forever!
Align Leggings Lululemon
I have these tank tops in every color. Try to get them on sale so you can get a bunch for less than $15!
Women's Tank Tops T-shirts | Old Navy - Gap
You can't go wrong with anything from this brand. Their products are quality and affordable. They'll have you looking your best at the gym! You can also find them on Amazon.
OQQ: Women's Activewear, Gymwear and Athleisure
If you want your tata's to be locked in, this is the bra for you! As someone with a larger chest, this is a great bra to run in. Sometimes I do double up on bras from this brand for additional support!
OQQ - Women's Sports Bras
Don't sleep on Victoria's Secret or PINK! Their sports bras are unmatched.
Sports Bras, Workout Bras, & Sports Bralettes | PINK - Victoria's Secret
Equipment
From mats to weights, I've got you covered.
These weights give you an easy way to make your workout or daily life a little more challenging. I love using mine on the stairmaster for a little more burn!
Bala Bangles
This mat is affordable and perfect for someone who is just entering their gym era. I love doing mat pilates with this!
Yoga Mat
Gym Necessities
Think water bottles, fans and towels. I've thought of all the things to make your workout more enjoyable.
These headbands are Black girl friendly! I recommend placing this band around your edges during your workout and don't remove it until your hair is dry of any sweat. If you purchase anything from this list, let this be it!!
Headbands | lululemon
I got a Stanley and now I get the hype. I love using this water bottle on the treadmill or while I'm doing mat exercises. It keeps my water cold and the straw allows for easy access.
Tumblers | Cups & Bottles - Stanley 1913
This water bottle is pretty lightweight and keeps your water FROSTY! (I love decorating mine with stickers.)
FreeFlow AUTOSEAL® 40 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle | Coleman
This little fan has changed my workouts. It's rechargeable and holds a charge for a long time. I love using this on the stairmaster and treadmill when I start to get warm. It produces a lot of air even with it's tiny size. It's made my workouts a bre...
Amazon Best Sellers: Best Personal Fans
They could never make me hate my airpods. I love wearing mine during my workouts, they are so small and also hold a charge!
