These Are the Best Leggings, According to 7 New York City Fitness Instructors

Sometimes, finding the perfect workout leggings is harder than that actual workout itself. Unlike other items in your wardrobe, though, workout leggings need to withstand things like burpees, reformers, Russian deadlifts, sprints, and lots and lots of sweat. Looking good in your workout outfit on your way to Pilates or Barry’s is part of the fun, but it’s only so much fun if you have to pull up your leggings mid-workout or catch a glimpse at weird bunching in the mirror mid-squat.

And who knows better what workout leggings make you both feel and look good than New York City’s best fitness class instructors? We asked around at our favorite studios to see what exactly they look for in a workout outfit, how they approach getting dressed to sweat, and of course, which leggings they would recommend. Naturally, we’re taking notes and adding all of the below to our carts. The Pilates princess uniform has never looked this good!
