Alo Grounded No-Slip Towel ($68)
Whether you're working out at home or taking it to your gym's exercise mat, a no-slip towel like this one from Alo is great to keep you safe from sliding and also protected from the germs of communal equipment. Kelsey Wells, Sweat trainer and host of the "Redefine Fitness" podcast, trusts the mat to stick with her through sweaty at-home workouts and dynamic stretches. "It's sweat absorbent
and the non-slip element helps ensure stability throughout the movement," she says.
Why we love it: The 74- by 26-inch towel is equal parts grippy on the bottom and plush on the top, making it a go-to for any mat work. One hot yoga shopper raves: "It stays in place for all 26 postures even when soaking wet." Plus, it's machine washable (on cold) for easy cleaning.
What's worth noting: Even though we absolutely love all the colors the mat comes in (that smoky quartz has a HOLD on us), shoppers have noted that the colors run on first wash so make sure you wash separately from your favorite Alo workout clothes.
