Athleta Haul

Athleta Haul || Southeast by Midwest #athleta #PowerOfShe #Sponsored

Guess what, I found a new fitness store! I was able to connect with Athleta and agreed to participate in their Power of She campaign. The Power of She campaign is essentially that women and girls of all body types and sports abilities can use Athleta’s products no matter what the reason. Running, hiking, or just hanging out Athleta has products that you can fit into your life and I like that thought. To see what I got in my Athleta Haul just keep scrolling!

About Athleta

Athleta Haul About || Southeast by Midwest #athleta #PowerOfShe #Sponsored

Athleta is a fitness store that is part of the Old Navy and GAP family of stores. You can purchase products online or in their physical stores. I tried to purchase online, however, the store card I had wouldn’t work so I had to go into the store, and I’m glad that I did! I wound up going to the Columbia, SC Athleta store and the people there were so nice! The store itself has items laid out in an easy to find fashion, has very large changing rooms, and what I liked most clean bathrooms with feminine products available free of charge! The Columbia, SC Athleta carried accessories like water bottles, bags, headbands, blankets, etc. along with the different clothes like shirts, jackets, pants, sports bras, etc. I do wish that their sizes were a little more bigger plus size friendly as a 2x is a 20 for their clothes but other than that it was an amazing experience all around!

Athleta Haul Headband

The first item that I immediately went to was the Athleta Coaster Headband in Soft Lilac. I chose this headband because it has a loop in the back that you can pull your ponytail through making it more comfortable for ponytail wearers and also more secure. However, the loop isn’t noticeable enough to cause issues or discomfort for those who either don’t wear ponytails or when you choose not to wear a ponytail. As for the color, they did have black and silver as well as the lilac but I liked the look of the soft lilac the best!

Athleta Haul Toe Sox

The second item that I picked up was the Toesox Grip Full Toe Ballerina Socks. These are available on the website in both the full toe and half toe styles but I went with the full toe to start with as I’m just starting to use these kind of socks. I chose these because I’m wanting to start getting into yoga and barre and I have issues with sweat on the bottoms of my feet and the feeling of the floor against it. It’s a weird texture issue I have but I thought these would be perfect to help it, PLUS they have the little grippies on the bottom which will make it where I won’t slide as much and will have more grip!

Athleta Haul Water Bottles

The last thing that I picked up for my Athleta Haul were two (even though only one is pictured) 17 oz. S’well Water Bottles. This black and gold marbled bottle is mine and I got the Hubs and blue and white marbled bottle. I’ve heard great things about S’well and their ability to keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot for long periods of time. I thought these would be perfect for when the Hubs and I want to take walks around, plus they’ll be great for when I’m in class as well. As for them keeping drinks cold…well I put ice in my bottle on Saturday morning and on Tuesday evening I still had the same ice cubes that I’ve just been replacing water over!

If you plan on ordering at Athleta’s website make sure to use Ebates as they currently have 6% cash back! If you don’t have Ebates, sign up here!

    I love swell bottles, and that one is gorgeous. I also love that the head band has a spot to put your pony tail through. (where were things like this years ago). I also love that they encourage woman of all fitness levels

    I knew about the Athleta brand because of Gap and Old Navy’s website, giving the store as an option. Although I’ve never purchased anything from them. And I had no idea that they had a standalone store! You scored some nice finds.

    I’ve boughten a few things from athleta and quiet like them. I’ve never tried to order online but I wish the store wasn’t located in the middle of the mall, because I’d shop there more if it wasn’t!

    I really like the toe socks a lot and the water bottle. I also really like the black, I tend to stick to darker colors when it comes to clothes. I just feel more comfortable.

    LOVE the headband. I can appreciate a great design and finally sports clothing manufacturers seem to be getting the little things that are needed. You know like a cutout for the ponytail. Finally!

    I’m not familiar with Athleta store and wonder if they have stores near me. I’m always looking to get some extra fitness clothing and accessories. I love the toe socks. I take a bit of pilates and my grip socks aren’t nearly that cute.

    This looks like a great haul. I have ever been to Athleta but I have heard great things. I heard their sports bras are awesome.

    While everything looks super nice, I think I may have fallen in love with that bottle. Something about a pretty bottle makes me more likely to actually drink water!

    I’ve seen this store pop up in my area, but I’ve not gone in. I’ve seen it online for a while, but now I get to feely touchy which that’s how I like to shop now.

    I want to lay my hands on those ballerina socks for my daughter. I am on a secret hunt for ballerina stuff for her as Christmas gifts and this is very helpful and has pointed me where to go. I like the water bottle and will get it for myself. Great picks!

    Love the headband and the toe socks! The water bottle will probably be taken by my teenager kids, I’ll never get to use it. But the toesocks and the headband I’ll just hide from them. Would love to get these!

    I’ve been looking for some toe socks for when I do yoga or pilates. I bought a pair at Target but they didn’t hold at all. These Athleta socks look much better made. Going to add them to my wish list.

    Athleta is such a great brand with an awesome campaign message to empower women. My daughter is eight years old and on a competitive rock climbing team; I wish I could do what she does.
