Athleta was not on my radar when I started building my new workout wardrobe… I honestly didn’t think of them for high-impact training like weightlifting or megaformer Pilates. But I’ve been so impressed. As a 5’ 2” athletic, mid-size girly, it’s hard to find activewear I genuinely love on repeat. Here’s why these pieces work for me 👇🏼 SHORTS : I went with the 7” inseam thinking they’d be too long, but turns out… I love them. I usually avoid short shorts (ya girl has big quads & no thigh gap), but these feel supportive without being overly compressive. SPORTS BRA : I’m a 36D post-reduction and reconstruction, so I need solid support and a good fit (they sit higher). This one checks both boxes + the longer line makes it cute enough to wear solo as a crop. BONUS : Both pieces wick away sweat like champs and actually hold up in the Houston heat and humidity. I’ve tested them through outdoor workouts and hot Pilates : no swampy aftermath. Truly didn’t think I’d be an Athleta girlie, but here we are : strong, supported & stylish.
