Whether you've been part of the front row crew for years, or your wardrobe has been a combination of Align crops and Cool Racerbacks for the better part of a decade, there's now an active collection that will really set your soul on fire. Are you ready? Lululemon just dropped their first-ever capsule collection with SoulCycle, and we're *living* for it.
In fact, we got to test the product firsthand at SoulCycle HQ with founding trainer and Master Instructor Laurie Cole, who played a role in creating this mesmerizing collection.
Lululemon's design team brought SoulCycle master instructors into their Vancouver offices to create "an ideal, instructor-approved, head-to-toe look that supports and transforms the studio experience," Lululemon told POPSUGAR. They wanted to make sure that the clothes were not only gorgeous, but also an ideal uniform for the sweatiest, toughest of classes. Naturally, we had to try them ourselves.
Laurie's sweat-soaked, heart-throttling, empowering ride was exactly what we needed to take the collection to the edge and test its limits — and girl, did it hold up! Here are some of our absolute favorite pieces from the collection that we've had a chance to test so far. Spoiler: you're going to want all of it.

To The Beat Bra
Laurie told the riders in our class how much she loved the To The Beat Bra ($68) — and we seriously agree. After sweating it out, bouncing around on those "sexy corners," and doing a hefty helping of tap-back push-ups, everything was wonderfully secure and in place.

To The Beat Tank
Forget that it comes in this gorgeous dusty purple color — what we love most about the To The Beat Tank ($68) is the fact that it's reversible, and you can tie it in the front or back in a cute little knot.

To The Beat Sweatshirt
When you're drenched in sweat but heading out into the chilly air, this To The Beat Sweatshirt ($118) is ideal. The flat-weave on the inside keeps you insulated without feeling sticky or suffocating. We tossed it on after class before heading out into frigid January Manhattan temps, and it was a dream.

Ride & Reflect Tight
Arguably the most fun piece in the entire collection (and the "hero piece," according to Lululemon), the Ride & Reflect Tight ($128) has a seriously cool design. One leg has "SOULCYCLE" and the other leg has "LULULEMON" in hidden reflective print that reveals itself with movement and light — perfect for your dim, candlelit classes.

To The Beat Tight 24"
The ultra-high waist on the To The Beat Tight 24" ($128) keep you covered whether you're towering tall in third, out of the saddle, or leaned over during a sprint. From experience, these are some of the comfiest tights we've tried.

Ride & Reflect Bra
The Ride & Reflect Bra ($58) offers the punchier tones in this collection, with both a red and a beautiful peachy coral. For a more subtle sexy, try "Adobe Dust" (pictured here).

To The Beat Duffel
Lululemon makes some of our favorite gym bags ever, and the To The Beat Duffel ($198) is definitely one of the coolest — and sleekest. With a heat-resistant pocket for your flat iron (gotta get that post-class refresh going) and a bag for your Spin shoes, it covers all the little details, while still looking exceptionally posh.

To The Beat Tight, Reflective 24"
With rose-gold accents, the Reflective To The Beat Tight ($148) is bound to be the new go-to legging for your Monday-at-noon tribe.
