Which Athletic Gear Do You Swear By for Comfort and Performance?

One of the questions I get all the time from my spin and fitness class regulars is, "Paoli, what do you wear when you work out?" And let me tell you—I’m picky about my workout gear! When you’re sweating, moving, stretching, and pushing your limits, you need gear that moves with you, not against you.

I’ve tried a ton of different brands over the years, but two always stand out as my absolute go-tos: Fabletics and Under Armour. These two brands never fail me when it comes to comfort, style, and performance. Let me break it down for you…

Why I Love Fabletics: Stylish, Comfortable, and Built for Movement

If you know me, you know I practically live in my workout gear. So, when I say Fabletics is a staple in my wardrobe, I mean it!

✔️ Leggings That Stay Put – Nothing is worse than leggings that slide down mid-spin class (we’ve all been there 😆). Fabletics leggings stay in place, no matter how much I move.

✔️ Squat-Proof & Sweat-Proof – No awkward see-through moments, and the sweat-wicking fabric keeps me cool and dry.

✔️ High-Waisted Perfection – I love a good high-waist fit—flattering, supportive, and keeps everything in check.

✔️ So Many Styles & Colors! – Whether I’m feeling bold and colorful or classic and neutral, Fabletics has a look for every mood.

Fabletics has become my go-to for leggings and sports bras, especially when I want something that looks great and performs just as well.

Why I Love Under Armour: Performance & Durability That Lasts

While I love Fabletics for their stylish, comfy sets, Under Armour is my pick when I need gear that’s built for serious sweat sessions.

✔️ Tops That Breathe – Their sweat-wicking tops keep me cool, even during the toughest HIIT workouts or spin sessions.

✔️ Supportive Sports Bras – No matter how intense my workout, their high-impact sports bras give me the support I need.

✔️ Lightweight & Durable – I’ve washed some of my UA gear hundreds of times, and it still looks and feels amazing!

✔️ Perfect for Layering – Their jackets and lightweight hoodies are great for warming up before a workout.

When I need reliable, performance-driven gear that holds up over time, Under Armour is my go-to.

Find What Works for YOU!

At the end of the day, your workout gear should be comfortable, functional, and make you feel GOOD. Whether you’re sweating through a spin class, lifting weights, or just going for a walk, wearing the right gear makes all the difference.

For me, Fabletics keeps me feeling stylish and confident, and Under Armour keeps me cool, supported, and ready to perform.
