If we're trying out a new workout, we always have the same questions. Are we going to be able to move the next day, can we get food afterwards, and what do we wear? Well, worry no more. We've put together a list of everything you need for the eight most common types of workouts, because your yoga outfit can't always take you to bootcamp, and your spin shoes have no place in boxing class.
For even easier shopping, click below for your needs.
If you're pounding the pavement or hitting the treadmill, you need the right gear. Think easy tanks, high-waisted, breathable leggings, and supportive bras. Plus, the right shoe is critical. We like this Soul by SoulCycle Contrast Stripe Sports Bra ($48) because it's comfortable and functional.
Beloved by runners for their super-supportive base, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 25 Running Shoe ($160) also comes in really fun colors.
These Good American Icon Crop Leggings ($79) are just the right length for running; they'll keep you cool and are easy to move in.

Light layers are essential for outdoor runs. We like this Nike Therma Sphere Training Top ($85).
This comfortable Zella Body Spirit Sports Bra ($39) is perfect for longer runs.
Go all black with these supportive Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 Running Shoes ($120). It's no wonder they've been called the perfect running shoe.
For those extra chilly nights running outside, get this CALIA by Carrie Underwood Moto Hybrid Jacket ($140). We love its fun metallic shade.
Supportive and super cool, this adidas by Stella McCartney Run Tank ($75) is unique and made for running.
Take off in these breathable adidas 3-Stripes Climalite Woven Shorts ($25).
If you're more interested in warrior pose and downward dog, you need form fitting clothes that won't distract you from moving. In yoga, a lighter support bra is perfect because it's less restrictive, and we like this pretty Alala Longline Sports Bra ($95) because it can also pass as a crop top.
The Onzie High Waist Print Leggings ($69) are so comfortable, and the high-waist makes sure you won't worry about them slipping during crow pose.
No yoga outfit is complete without the most necessary accessory, the BalanceFrom GoYoga All-Purpose Mat ($18).
Yes, most people know they need a yoga mat, but the Shandali Gosweat Hot Yoga Towel ($19, originally $30) is what prevents you from slipping around, especially if you're practicing sweaty vinyasa.
Post flow, pick up this cozy, cute Good American Plunge Back Sweatshirt ($79).
Yoga doesn't require a highly supportive bra. This LIVELY The Active Cross Back Sports Bralette ($35) is so cute, and will keep you comfortable mid-flow.
You can wear this Alo Cover Tank ($54) outside of the studio as well.

A throwback to the original yoga pant silhouette, these Zella Barely Flare Live in High Waist Pants ($65) are so unbelievably comfortable. You'll never want to take them off.
If you're getting ready for spin class, one of our commandments is cropped leggings. They won't accidentally get caught in the pedals. Here, medium support bras are key, because if you have proper form, your upper body should be relatively still. And another necessity? Spin shoes. We like the Shimano SH-RT5 Cycling Shoe ($120) because it's streamlined and comfortable.
Make a statement in this adorable Soul by SoulCycle Floral Cami Sports Bra ($48) and High Waist Floral Tights ($88).
You need special shoes to spin in, which means you're automatically going to need some kind of gym bag. This Caraa Cumulus Tote ($195) has lots of pockets and is big enough to carry all the essentials without feeling cumbersome.
Bike shorts are back in style, but they were originally intended for the bike! We like the high waist and side pocket on these Baleaf Women's High Waist Workout Shorts ($20).
The right socks are absolutely critical for spin class. These Footplus Copper Antibacterial Socks ($18 for 6 pairs) come up high enough on the ankle to prevent heel blisters and have anti-odor properties.
A white tank is always a good idea, and this Soul by SoulCycle Split Skull Racerback Tank ($42) is so adorable.
Cropped leggings are a great choice for spin class because the ankle won't accidentally get caught in the pedal. We like these fun Zella Meditate High Waist Crop Leggings ($55).
If you're lifting weights or toning, you don't need crazy amounts of support, you just need to feel comfortable and secure. We basically want everything Stella McCartney designs, including these Adidas by Stella McCartney CrazyTrain Pro Sneakers ($150).
Make a statement in the gym with these printed Zella Live-In High Waist Crop Leggings ($55).
After your session, it's nice to have a sweatshirt to warm up. This Aviator Nation Bolt Fade Sweatshirt ($161) is so unbelievably comfortable.
When it comes to tanks, you really just need something you feel comfortable moving around in. It shouldn't be too loose or too tight. Something in the middle, like this Shape Motion Tank ($48), gives you great range of motion.

If you need nothing else, you need hand wraps. You can't box without them, and having your own is the sanitary choice. These RDX Hand Wraps ($15) come in five colors, and they're so easy to put on.

This Zella Twist Back Tank Top ($45) is perfect because the tie back ensures it'll stay comfortable and won't fly away from a particularly powerful uppercut.
