9 Deodorants Workout Instructors Pack in Their Gym Bags
:upscale()/2015/10/28/745/n/1922153/e92dc79d_edit_img_cover_file_38592391_1443873600_PS15_Beauty_BestDeoderantsWorkOut_Pin_Teaser.jpg)
Nothing puts your antiperspirant to the test like spinning for two hours straight or twerking out to a marathon of Beyoncé hits. That's exactly the life our panel of fitness instructors live on the daily. We polled women who make their living working up a sweat to find out which stench-stoppers actually work.
From barre instructors to cardio pros, these ladies have a knack for looking unfazed — even after the fifth set of squats — and these are the deodorants they trust. We promise these products can stand up to sweat-soaked sports bras and won't reveal white residue while you're doing jumping jacks. Each antiperspirant ahead is gym-bag approved (and a few are aluminum-free formulas).

Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant
The expert: Mandi Molnar, Head Trainer at DavidBartonGym's Christopher Street location
The deodorant: Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant ($7)
Why she loves it: For a fitness instructor, once a day isn't enough for deodorant application. Mandi likes to use this spray formula when it's time for a touch-up between classes because it doesn't leave white clumps when applied to sweaty pits.

Degree Men Deodorant Cool Rush
The expert: Amanda Rey, instructor at SLT
The deodorant: Degree Men Deodorant Cool Rush ($3)
Why she loves it: If girly scents are your thing, there are plenty of deodorant options out there. Sometimes the smell of flowers and cotton candy is too much. So, Amanda likes to use this men's formula for a more mellow fragrance.

Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Antiperspirant
The expert: Kathleen Kulikowski, DC instructor for SoulCycle
The deodorant: Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Antiperspirant ($4)
Why she loves it: If you've ever been in a SoulCycle class, you know that the average women's deodorant isn't quite strong enough to handle the buckets of perspiration. That's why Kathleen uses this men's stick.

The expert: Janet Jones, founder of Vixen Workout
The deodorant: Secret Clear Gel Antiperspirant in Cocoa Butter Kiss ($6)
