Stacker Style: Gym Bag Essentials

Earlier this year, I decided that I wanted to to be my fittest self ever by 30. I've been a gym goer here and there, but never anything consistent. Ever since joining my new gym earlier this year, I've been keeping up my cadence of hitting the gym 3-4 days a week. It's been an awesome and motivating journey and I'm feeling optimistic about my hitting my goal. I'm still seven or so months away from hitting the big 3-0, so we'll see! After eight months of gym visits under my belt, I've got my routine down to a science. I don't let anything stand in the way of my gym visits (and I've gotten quite good at saying "no" to things, in favor of spending my time working out and filling up on endorphins!). I've also been treating myself with my favorite apparel (after hitting a fitness milestone) and stocking my bag with all of the essentials. I've found that all these little things (cute athletic wear and amazing products) help to make working out all that more fun. Curious to see what I keep in my gym bag? Read more after the jump!

Balle Balle!

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of hosting another fitness event with Athleta on Fillmore. I was so excited to try out a new class (Masala Bhangra!) and was very happy that SF put the rain on pause. It was my first time trying Bollywood-style dancing and I was seriously looking forward to learning some moves that I could bust out in the future. The class was incredibly fun, a great workout and I can't wait to try it again. We had a great crowd - even some guys made it to class, which was awesome. Thanks so much to everyone who made it out - I know it was a really early wake up call for a Saturday, but I truly appreciated it. And of course, thanks to Athleta for letting me host. Next up? Maybe a hip hop class? What say you?

Hello, friends! I'm hosting another fun fitness class with my pals at Athleta on Fillmore this Saturday, 12/3 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and would love for you to join us. Last time around it was Zumba - this time? Bollywood dancing! Being that I'm a fitness class lover and dance enthusiast, I think this one will be right up my alley, and yours too, I hope! Along with moves to wake you up, there will be something special for the first 25 who show up, and free holiday wrapping to get you jump started on your presents for the season.
