Lululemon athleisure has a pretty devoted following—and I’ll admit, that love definitely extends to the EatingWell staff and my own household. It’s one of those brands that comes up again and again, whether we’re talking about buttery soft leggings, sweat-wicking bras or simply cute accessories for everyday use.
That got me thinking: do fitness trainers actually wear Lululemon, too? To find out, I asked 5 fitness trainers to share their thoughts on the brand. Spoiler alert: they’re fans as well.
From the pieces they reach for when running training sessions to what they wear during their own workouts, I wanted to know what earns a spot in their closets. And, of course, I asked what they’re eyeing during this end of the year sale. Here are their top picks and must-haves.

Flow Y Bra Nulu Light Support
lululemon
“Immediately adding the Flo Y Bra Nulu in my cart. I have it in multiple colors, I think it’s super comfortable and I am a big fan of its minimal straps,” says AK Hudson, strength and conditioning trainer and reformer instructor. (She’s got her eye on the sequoia color.)
Wunder Train High-Rise Tight with Pockets, 28-Inch
lululemon
“These Wunder Trains are classic Lululemon to me. I used to dance, so I prefer longer length leggings. I love how this style fits—they offer good support, but not too much,” says Caroline Russell, Barre and Lagree instructor.
Swiftly Tech Long-Sleeve Shirt 2.0 Waist Length
lululemon
“This long-sleeve shirt is one of my favorite pieces—it moves well, breathes well and wicks moisture. I love the thumb notches to keep my hands warm when I’m out for a run. It’s also stylish enough for me to wear in and out of the gym,” says Julie Jones, ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor.
Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Boatneck Scoop-Back Long-Sleeve Bodysuit
lululemon
“Anything in the Wundermost fabric is a must-buy—it has the softest material that is also great to train in! I’m adding this boatneck scoop back to my cart,” says Tori O’Neil, strength and conditioning instructor and owner of The Yard Gym Birmingham.
Align High-Rise Pant with Pockets, 25-Inch
lululemon
“I have these in a few colors and need more. They are so comfortable and soft—and actually stay up when I’m working out,” says Cameron Cavenaugh, reformer instructor. These tights get bonus points from us, too, for their pockets.
Women’s Chargefeel 2 Mid Workout Shoe
lululemon
“I have two pairs of these high-top Chargefeel sneakers, as well as two pairs of the low-top style! I love the high-tops because they are different from most of my training sneakers and make my coaching uniforms more interesting. Most of my training consists of cross-training—I feel stable and balanced in these, but they are light enough that I’m still fast on my feet,” says Hudson.
Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Crewneck Long-Sleeve Shirt
lululemon
Here’s another item that O’Neil is buying while it’s on sale. “I’m stocking up on this long-sleeve crew. Really, anything in the Wundermost fabric is great!” she says. At under $50, you should add this to your cart, too, because it can be worn solo or layered.
Dance Studio Relaxed-Fit Mid-Rise Cargo Pant
lululemon
“This is the perfect pant for teaching a reformer class, wearing over biker shorts to the gym or a trip to the grocery store,” says Hudson. “These feel a little more fashionable, and I love athleisure that feels that way when I’m in a slump of wearing the same old leggings on repeat.”
Mesh Ruched Long-Sleeve Shirt
lululemon
“I have been eyeing this mesh ruched long sleeve for a bit, so I’m definitely adding it to my cart. Mesh overlays are going to be really popular this spring, and I am so into it!” says Hudson.
Convertible Ruched Crossbody Bag, 6.5-Liter
lululemon
“I love an athleisure-style bag, and I love neutrals. The adjustable, ruched strap and the pop of vibrant orange against the neutral tone on this bag spoke to me,” says Hudson. “This bag has become the perfect accessory to my day-to-day look working in fitness.”
Focuser Scoop-Neck Bra Nulu Light Support
lululemon
“I purchased this scoop neck bra last year, and I wear it weekly! It’s definitely built for a lower-intensity workout, but it is so soft and comfortable,” says Hudson. Grab one now while a variety of colors are on sale.
