Outfit: Nike Alate Medium Support Longline Padded Sports Bra ($60). Nike Zenvy Gentle-Support High-Waisted Full-Length Leggings ($100). Nike Free Metcon 6 Workout Shoes ($125). Nike 24.7 ImpossiblySoft Dri-FIT Oversized Crew-Neck Top ($90).
According to Jennifer Aniston's trainer and VP of Training at Pvolve Dani Coleman, most clients wear leggings and supportive tops that allow them to feel strong, along with a pair of sneakers that support the mobility exercises and strength movements done on the mat in class. I can confidently say that these Nike pieces did all that for me and more. There's something about the smooth, butter-soft feeling of Nike's InfinaSoft fabric that complemented the nature of the Pvolve movements so perfectly — it was like I was swimming through class. It helped, too, that I went with an elevated, neutral colorway for my set (called mink brown), as the studio and equipment follow suit with clean lines and a modern feel, from the shape of the baskets clients pick up on their way into class to the sleek design of the mat itself.
While the bra top and leggings made me feel "lengthened" and matched my flow with perfect harmony, the Nike Free Metcon 6 had to be the highlight of my outfit. Even my instructor was wearing them, and Coleman confirms that they're an undeniable favorite among Pvolve devotees: "They're lightweight, supportive, and keep me grounded for long days when I'm teaching in the Pvolve West Hollywood studio," she says. "I've been training in them for years and they work perfectly for the various formats we offer." I also happened to spend the rest of the day in them, walking around Soho and grabbing brunch with a friend, and they felt way more chic than your average sneaker — particularly in the all-black with black ankle socks to visually elongate my legs.
