The holiday season is among us, and just because temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean we can’t still get our sweat on – whether walking around the house in our best athleisure, or making the brave trek to the gym. Because let’s be honest…with the spread of COVID-19 and most of us staying home for extended periods of time, we spent a lot of time in leggings and hoodies. Now, with vaccination rates rising, it’s a bit safer to head out to the gym, and we want you to do it in style with the proper equipment.

Treat the fitness fiend in your life (or yourself, hello) with our favorite activewear and workout gear picks below, such as Vacancy Supply’s Traction Sweatpants, Roam Loud’s Yarra Biker Shorts, and Bala’s Bangle Classic weights.
