Owala 32-Ounce FreeSip Stainless-Steel Water Bottle ($33)
"I've tried countless water bottles over the years — so many that I never imagined I'd be genuinely impressed by a new one. I know I sound dramatic, but hear me out: I noticed so many people using this bottle at CorePower Sculpt (IYKYK), so when I spotted this pretty version while perusing the aisles of Academy Sports and Outdoors, I had to see what the hype was about.
I started using it straightaway and the rest was history. Beyond its aesthetics, I fell in love with the dual-function straw. What makes it so great is that you can either sip through the built-in straw (ideal for avoiding spills when it's full) or swig from the spout opening when you need a lot more water at once (perfect for those intense Sculpt classes).
To open the spout, you press a button and it pops open with a satisfying sound that strangely brings me joy. (It's the little things!) Plus, it holds enough water for all my workouts (runs, lifting sessions, and the occasional OrangeTheory class), fits perfectly in the treadmill's water bottle spot and my car's cup holder, and has the prettiest colorblock design. It's been my go-to emotional support water bottle for the past six months. Trust me, you won't regret buying it."
