{Review} Ellie: Your New Favorite Workout Wear
I pretty much wear my workout clothes all day long. If I’m not seeing a client, that’s what I’m wearing. Because I wash and wear mine so much, I don’t like to spend a ton of money on fitness attire. Yes, I’d love to lounge around in Lululemon garb, but at $60+ just for a pair of running shorts? No thanks.
So when the folks at Ellie offered to send me a free outfit to test their line of workout gear I was like, heck yeah! I just got my outfit in the mail and I kinda love it. My fitness style is comfort, but practical. In other words, I want to be able to go to Target, pick up my daughter at school, and sit around in it comfortably, but I also want to be able to go for a run or do yoga in it, too. So comfort without looking like I just stepped out of the gym.
I admit the outfit I chose to test is kind of boring. I was thinking of the summer when it’s super hot — but I don’t want to be in public in just a sports bra! I love the cut-out style in the back of the peek-a-boo top. It’s open just enough back there so you can get some air in! The pants are pretty light weight and didn’t sit too low on my waist (bad things happen when my pants are too low). They were also just snug enough to keep me tucked in, but not uncomfortably so. I also like that all their clothes are made in in the USA.
Here’s my {somewhat wrinkled} outfit:
How does Ellie work?
You can just go to their site and buy items from their collection separately as you would do on any other website. You can even click here to get 20% off your first order!
OR
Ellie has a fun subscription service program called the “Fit Fashionista” club program. As part of the program, you choose two pieces every month for just $49.95 — plus free shipping! The great thing about that is they roll out a new collection every month, so there’s always a new batch of outfits to choose from. I admit, I’m a sucker for these programs! I love getting a new outfit in the mail every month. My Ellie outfit is from February’s Little Black Collection. April’s collection is Coral Crush — there are some very cute pieces in that collection, too!
So, for $49.95/month you can join the Fit Fashionista Club and get to:
- Select any 2 pieces you want from their current collection (any combo you want, i.e. two shirts, two bottoms, shirt and bottom)
- Get free shipping and return shipping
- Get early access to pieces before they’re sold to the public, and exclusive access on some items
One Caveat: You must choose your two items by the 7th of every month otherwise Ellie will select a combo for you. You can also cancel at anytime.
