Andrea's actual gym favorites

Shop my gym favorites.

These are the gym clothes, shoes, accessories, and everyday essentials I actually use and recommend. I’m picky about what I train in. I want things that are flattering, functional, comfortable, and actually make sense for lifting — especially as a mom who started strength training in my mid-30s. Everything here has earned a spot because I genuinely use it.

GYM FITS
Flared Leggings

My Favorite Flared Leggings

Perfect for upper-body days.

These are my go-to when I want to look cute in the gym but don’t need a traditional legging for a heavy lower-body workout. They’re high-waisted, flattering, and come in a bunch of colors.

Crop Tee

The Easy Crop Tee

My favorite for a monochromatic gym fit.

A simple fitted crop that comes in so many colors, which makes it really easy to pair with matching leggings or shorts for that monochromatic look without having to buy an actual set.

Gym Shorts

My Absolute Favorite Gym Shorts

I own these in basically every color.

These are the shorts I reach for over and over. The V-shaped waistband is incredibly flattering, especially if you carry a little more fullness through your lower stomach after having babies. Cute, comfortable, and great for lifting.

SPORTS BRAS I SWEAR BY

I breastfed two babies, so I’m pretty particular about sports bras. I want something that makes me feel supported and flattering without sacrificing the cute gym fit. These are the ones I actually wear.

High Neck Strappy Bra

High-Neck Strappy Sports Bra

I love the extra coverage in the front with the strappy detail in the back. Simple, flattering, and easy to wear on its own.

Cross Back Bra

Black High-Neck Cross-Back Bra

One of those sports bras that works with basically everything. I love the high neckline and the open, strappy back.

Minimal Halter Bra

Minimal Halter Sports Bra

A little more minimal and feminine. Really cute for upper-body days when I want the gym fit to feel less like traditional workout clothes.

Strappy-Back Sports Bra

I love a cute back on upper-body days, and this one gives you that without being overly complicated.

WHAT I LIFT IN
Vans High Tops

Vans High-Tops

One of my favorite leg-day shoes.

I prefer a flatter shoe for lower-body lifting because I feel much more planted than I do in a heavily cushioned running shoe. Plus, these obviously work outside the gym too.

Converse High Tops

Converse High-Tops

Another leg-day staple.

Classic, simple, and flat. Another shoe I love for strength training when I want a stable base under me.

Upper Body Sneakers

My Upper-Body Day Sneakers

On upper-body days, I can wear the cute cushioned shoes. These are what I reach for when I don’t need the flatter sole I prefer for heavy lower-body lifting.

Gym Socks

My Go-To Gym Socks

Simple white crew socks that work with basically every gym shoe I own. These are the ones I grab constantly.

LIFTING + PROGRESS ESSENTIALS
Versa Gripps

My Favorite Lifting Grips

Versa Gripps Pro

These are my go-to for pulling movements when my grip starts giving out before the muscle I’m actually trying to train does. I use them for deadlifts, rows, and other back work when I want to focus on the lift instead of my hands.

Home Scale

The Scale I Use at Home

This is what I personally use to follow my progress between check-ins. I like having more information than body weight alone so I can watch trends over time. I treat the body-composition numbers as estimates rather than exact measurements — the value for me is using the same scale consistently and watching how the trends change.

Water Bottle

The Water Bottle I Actually Use

Because a good water bottle really is the secret to drinking enough water. I like having a big bottle with me so I’m not constantly refilling it. This one comes with me to the gym, in the car, and pretty much everywhere else.
