What’s in your Fitness Closet?

Today I’m linking up with a bunch of my Fitfluential Peeps over at Pavement Runner’s blog to share what’s in my fitness closet.  

Once you’ve read my post why not hop over to his post to see what others have in their closets?  I’m pretty sure that even though I am a fitness instructor (and 80% of my wardrobe is fitness clothes) that my fitness wardrobe is probably going to be one of the smaller ones!

My “closet” actually consists of my closet, one drawer and a trunk.  So let’s start with the trunk, otherwise known as Zumba Land:

Inside we have:

Zumba jackets and hoodies, long sleeved shirts, t shirts and Zumba bras

DSC06111

tank tops (including my favourite “Eat, Sleep, Zumba” tank)

DSC06112

cargo pants, and

and capri pants.

Moving on to my fitness drawer, otherwise known as Lululemon Land:

Inside you’ll find…

my Sweat Pink tops, Fitfluential Tank and a few other random tanks, my regular sports bras,

my Lululemon CRBs (cool racer backs – my fav, fav, fav tank tops), and my swiftlys (2 long sleeved, one short sleeved),

my No Limits and Practise Freely tanks, some other lulu tanks (my beloved Back on Track tank is on top)

running shorts and skirts,

and all of my crops and full length pants.

My actual closet houses all of the rest of my fitness wardrobe and all of my regular clothes.  When I say fitness clothes makes up most of my wardrobe I’m not lying…

Here we have my 4 wraps (1 Splits 59 and 3 Lululemon), my 2010 Canada Olympic hoodie, 3 hoodies and my Lululemon Cuddle Up (missing from photo is my other Lululemon hoodie which is in the kitchen).

This is the top shelf in my closet.  On the left you have all of my running hoodies/jackets and couple random sweatshirts (including my high school graduation hoodie – Go Gators!) On the right are all of my pants.  Mixed in with my jeans are a few pairs of sweatpants, 2 pairs of wunder unders I wear as normal leggings (my herringbone full length WU’s and my grey pique WU’s).

And this last shelf is all of my regular shirts/tanks/sweaters but there are a few lululemon and nike items mixed in with the rest.

As for my footwear collection, I used to have 5 or 6 pairs of sneakers that I rotated while teaching, and then they all wore out at once.  I replaced them with one pair of Nikes that I’ve been wearing for all my classes since last August (which means I’ve logged well over 400 hours in them) and they are finally DOA.  I’ve ordered two new pairs online last week so hopefully they will be here soon but for now I’m wearing my Saucony running sneakers to teach in.  Here is my sad shoe collection

Truthfully I do still have a few other pairs of sneakers in the basement, but they are all so worn out I can only wear them for casual use now (which is where the yellow nikes will be going when my new sneakers arrive).

And there you have it, that’s what in my {fitness} closet!  What’s in yours???

    Holy cow. That is one heck of a lot of fitness stuff. Love all the colors. I need to get my post up today. Good idea to take photos of the piles. I may separate out a few of my favorite pieces.

      lol, when you teach 10+ classes (used to be 19) each week you need to have a pile or else you’ll be out of clean clothes before the week is over!

    I was like “YES!” Someone with as much stuff as me… then I got to your shoes and felt like a hoarder in comparison to mine… LOL.

    Great job.. since you are an instructor, this is an OFFICIAL fitness closet. 🙂

      I WISH my shoe collection was as good as everyone else’s :'( It used to be, but then they all wore out at the same time so I donated them to the red cross now I’ve only got a couple. It’s really a sad state of affairs. I’m still sorta hoping to win a sneaker lottery somewhere 😀

    I love your trunk and the fact that you call it Zumbaland!

    And your clothes are so colourful which makes it even better.
