Pam’s workout ‘fit consists of her lululemon Swift Speed High-Rise Leggings and lululemon Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt (Race Length), which are both breathable & lightweight for Bootcamp, Spin, or HIIT classes.

When it comes to what she’s got on her feet, she loves Feetures socks, calling them “The. Best. Socks. Ever.” For running or HIITs, she loves her Brooks & On Cloud shoes since they’re both comfy and supportive. For Spin, she also loves TIEMs (Of course).

  1. Shannon

Shannon knows her workout gear! Her go-to clothes include the supportive and stylish Zyia All Star Bra and the ultra-comfortable lululemon Fast and Free High-Rise Leggings. But of course, great gear needs great shoes. For Shannon, that means ASICS for all her workouts, from lifting weights to cardio sessions.

When it comes to accessories, Shannon is all about glider discs. Unfortunately, they don’t work on the gym floor, but if you have a home workout space, they’re a fantastic addition to your routine. 
As for music, Shannon wants her workout to feel like a rager, which is why she shared a Spotify playlist she created titled “Friday Nights BC.” So, if you want your workout to feel like a party, check it out!

When it comes to fitness gear, Stacy has a few favorites. She can’t live without her spin bike, weights, ropes, and foam roller. These items help her achieve a full-body workout and keep her muscles feeling strong and healthy.
