A longtime runner, the last 6 weeks without logging some miles has been brutal. It’s easily the longest span I’ve gone without a run in almost 20 years. But… I’m finally back! And, since it’s officially a new season I’m getting some new gear. In this post, I’m sharing my Fall fitness essentials, which will always include the spacedye Beyond Yoga leggings.
After some pesky medical issues kept me from doing what I love these past two months, I’ve been itching to get back to some higher intensity workouts. Unpopular opinion – I’m not a huge fan of compression leggings! I prefer my activewear to be buttery soft and super comfortable. One of my go-to brands for cute sets is Beyond Yoga. I recently picked up a matching set from them that I absolutely love and have worn multiple times. If you’re in need of some inspiration to get back to working out, keep reading!

Beyond Yoga Leggings and Matching Sets
Looking back, I’ve never been matchy matchy when it comes to my workout outfits. But, I’m a HUGE fan of monochrome. So, when I saw this set, I figured I’d give it a whirl!
The darker pink color gives me all the Fall vibes. While I have lots of other pink and neutral activewear, I don’t have anything in this tone. PRO TIP: try to buy things in the same color palette. It makes it so easy to style them together and you’ll get far more use out of each piece. This is actually the second pair of leggings I’ve bought and probably won’t be the last. For comparison, they’re similar to my Lululemon Align leggings. But, the material is slightly different in texture.
I can’t say enough good things about these, but we all have different preferences! Be sure to check out the leggings section on Shopbop. They have a massive selection across a pretty wide price range. If you want another alternative, another brand I love is Onzie. I styled their biker shorts most recently in this post.
Fall Activewear I’m Loving
Try Out a Crop Top
Another item I said I’d never wear? Crop tops. But, I’m eating my words and when it comes to workout tops, this one is super cute. Be sure to check out the other sports bras and crop tops to level up your fall workout looks.
Grab some APL Sneakers
You guys know I love me some APL sneakers! My advice is to get a pair that will match most of what your activewear. So, for me that means blush (love this pair) or something neutral. I own two pairs of these that I got on sale previously and absolutely love them. I don’t run in them, but I’ll go to the gym and do other HIIT workouts in them.
There’s something about new gear that motivates you to get off your butt and get in a good sweat sesh. So, if you’re in a workout rut be sure to check out my post here with some tips on how to get back in your groove!
