lululemon debuted another women's footwear style today. The new shoe is a versatile training sneaker called Chargefeel that is designed to support you in every activity, from running, to training, to everywhere on the go and is now available in stores and online.

Built with the bounce and forward propulsion of a running shoe and balanced by the stabilizing side-to-side motion of a trainer, Chargefeel was made to go and go thanks to a dual-density foam layering system. The shoe is available in both a mid-top and a low-top style.

The Chargefeel focuses on an unmet need - today more than ever, we are working out in a lot of different ways. lululemon's creation process included multiple rounds of gear-testing and footwear scan data from more than 1 million feet to ensure the perfect fit. Whether you like HIIT sessions, dance workouts, or boxing classes, Chargefeel is a performance shoe that is ready for you.

I got to try out these new sneakers prior to launch and I loved how supported I felt. I had great traction and the shoe felt light on my foot. While I've only done a HIIT workout so far, I am looking forward to weight-training and sprinting with the Chargefeel as well. Not to mention, I love the sporty style of the mid-top!

The launch features 14 colorways, including highlight yellow, black and white, and magenta purple. The low-top style is available for $138 while the mid-top shoe is $148.

Earlier this year, lululemon launched the Blissfeel running shoe and the Restfeel slide. The Strongfeel will be the last of the new styles to roll out later this year. The brand also plans to launch a collection of men's footwear in 2023.

I am a lululemon Ambassador and received the shoes as a gift but opinions are my own.

Showing up in clothes that make you look good and feel good really can set the tone for the day. If you wake up and put on a workout set, you’re more likely to eat healthier or make better decisions, like going to yoga or the gym. This mentality is the inspiration behind Kosha Fit, a Fort Lauderdale-based activewear brand.

Kosha Fit was founded in September 2020 by Jordan Artman as a sustainable activewear company with a purpose. The company has a goal to inspire a life of balance, self-discovery, and connection to your truest essence and this came from Artman's own transformation following her graduation from Florida State University.

Artman was enrolled in an immersion program with Coby Kozlowski where she learned about the kosha teachings and they were a tangible way for her to connect with her most authentic and show up in alignment.

The Kosha Fit logo represents the five koshas, or layers of being - physical body, energy and breath, mind, wisdom and non-judgement, bliss and enlightenment. We are our highest and most authentic selves when the five koshas are in alignment. Each layer is represented as a line on the logo to keep those teachings top of mind. Kosha Fit is designed to wear beyond the mat and in daily life as a reminder to show up in alignment.

"When we are at peace and fulfilled within, we foster oneness, improve relationships, and cultivate the stability and balance that we’re all seeking," said Artman. "I am committed to provide purposeful and high quality activewear, tools for true transformation, and meaningful relationships with our community."

Kosha Fit offers yoga sets with matching bras, shorts, and leggings manufactured using their signature AuraForm material that is buttery soft, sweat-proof, and flattering. Whether you like high-wasted, contouring leggings or one-shoulder tops and cropped tanks, Kosha Fit offers a variety of activewear that can take you from your favorite yoga or workout class to coffee or brunch. Sets are available in neutral colors and Kosha Fit also releases collections with seasonal colors. Prices range from $38 - $74.

Primarily sold on online, you can also find Kosha Fit activewear in Las Olas Yoga and in other studios and boutiques in cities across the country. Kosha Fit offers free and fast shipping - orders are packed and shipped the same day!

In addition to having high quality activewear in unique colors and custom styles, Kosha Fit is committed to providing the community with the resources and tools to pursue a journey out of self-doubt and into self-discovery, a path that leads to profound transformation. The brand pays it forward by donating a portion of all sales to NAMI, the National Alliance for Mental Illness.

As a network of on-demand private fitness spaces, Silofit offers micro-gyms called Silos that are designed to be used by both personal fitness trainers and their clients as well as individual gym goers.

“When we discussed expanding Silofit into the U.S. market, we knew that Miami was the perfect place to branch out as there is a large health and fitness community that was demanding private fitness spaces,” says Silofit Founder & CEO Wilfred Valenta. “Silofit's mission is to be the most innovative and recognizable platform for personal training and tech enabled fitness spaces. We're doing this by creating a network of micro-gyms and digital solutions that help coaches build real connections and pursue an entrepreneurial spirit.”

We bet you've never heard of a pre-workout pill before! Psycho Sloth is the first-ever company in the US to introduce a four-ingredient pre-workout pill and they are based right here in the 305.

Miami natives Noah Doris and Byron D'Mello are Psycho Sloth co-founders and best friends ever since their middle school days at GW Carver. In high school, they were varsity rowers and their daily practices and workouts kick-started their passion for fitness and nutrition with the goal of winning races. While they went their separate ways in college, as recent graduates they have now continued their nutrition journey with the launch of Psycho Sloth.

Tired of brands with synthetic, unpronounceable ingredients, Psycho Sloth was invented with four highly-studied ingredients - beet root powder, green tea, electrolytes, and L-theanine. They partnered with expert nutritionists, tested the product for safety in third-party labs, and extracted in state-of-the-art facilities. The result is a safe, effective, and easy-to-swallow capsule.

“We were your typical gym-goers, not training for bodybuilding competitions but simply working to look and feel in shape," said Noah Doris, co-founder of Psycho Sloth. "We were surprised to learn that the only supplements on the market were tailored to the desires of hardcore bodybuilders - meaning extreme stimulants, synthetic ingredients and overall a lack of concern for side effects. We decided something needed to change. We partnered with nutrition experts and developed a simple yet effective four-ingredient solution that delivers the same energy boost, [as synthetic pre’s] without the jitters, crash or nausea."

With 0% synthetic ingredients or fillers, Psycho Sloth's vegan pre-workout pill differs greatly from what’s in the market and is tailored to the health-conscious fitness enthusiast. Expect jitter and crash-free physical and mental energy for a noticeable performance increase.

“Our mission is to give people the tools to reach their fitness goals while ensuring a healthy future," said Byron D’Mello, co-founder of Psycho Sloth. "Everything we consume directly affects our health for better or worse. This is precisely why we chose beet roots, electrolytes, green tea, and L-theanine as they are safe and extremely effective energy boosters. With every pre-workout pill you purchase, you are voting in favor of your long-term health and against brands who prioritize profit over people."

Lerin is a new Miami-based athletic apparel company that strives to be both functional and fashionable. Created by Rachel Schultz of Transition Pilates, this fitness brand was created to withstand high-impact workouts and help you look good while you do it.

Schultz has been in the fitness industry for over 10 years as an athlete, marathon runner, trainer, brand ambassador, and Pilates studio owner. After years of wearing fitness apparel, Schultz grew frustrated by clothing that couldn't perform in a high impact environment and decided it was time to create her own athletic apparel line.

Lerin has been two years in the making, as Schultz would not release a product that she would not stand behind. In addition to being supportive for high intensity workouts, Lerin is also designed to be fashonable. With technological advances in fabric, this was an opportune time to produce a line that's comfortable, functional, and has a sleek minimalist design.

The collection includes sets with mesh inserts, strappy sports bras, different sleeve lengths, color blocks and varying styles of leggings, each designed to mix and match interchangeably.

Inspired by Schultz' German heritage, the name Lerin is derived from the word 'sportslerin,' which means female athlete in German. As a female entrepreneur, Schultz has had her own Pilates studio and is now launching another women-owned company where she will offer jobs and internships to empower other women. Each piece of clothing is going to be named after a woman to honor this.

Order your athleisure now at lerinusa.com and keep an eye out for Lerin to be in stores locally around Miami in the future. You can also follow the brand on Instagram @lerinusa.

Peloton previewed its long-anticipated rowing machine during their annual Homecoming event last Friday. And by previewed we mean that they showed a trainer pulling on a rowing machine. They also tweeted out a rowing emoji.

Peloton’s annual Homecoming event is where they announce new products, features, and content. It’s also a chance for members to take live classes taught by their favorite instructors and attend special panel discussions. This year, the biggest announcement was that Peloton officially confirmed a rower is coming.

From what you could see, the device has a similar look as the company’s other machines. Timing is unknown at this point with Peloton only sharing that it is "coming soon." The new device will add to a product lineup that includes entry-level and high-end bikes, as well as a treadmill.

“Peloton will be bringing its best-in-class fitness experience to the world of rowing! Combining cardio and strength — Peloton is excited to add this total body workout into its powerhouse arsenal of content," said the company.

At its Homecoming event, Peloton also announced a variety of other new features, including the ability to schedule group workouts and track non-Peloton activities in the app. The company also announced plans to re-open their New York and London studios for member workouts but did not give a timeline.

Studio Three is coming to Miami! The boutique studio known for offering three experiences under one roof - Interval, Cycle, and Yoga - announced their expansion with a new location slated to open next spring. Studio Three will take over 9,000 square feet of space in Artem, a new 11-story apartment community in Wynwood.

Studio Three unites three of the world’s most popular fitness modalities and members can take advantage of access to one, two, or all three for a balanced cross-training regimen. Earning a fiercely loyal following since inception, the company has been recognized as ClassPass’ “Number One Studio in Chicago” and it has been consistently named one of the best fitness studios by Time Out, Chicago magazine, Bride’s and more.
‍
The design of the new space will allow for three distinct studios with a mood to match each modality.

• Interval. Here, the workout centers around timed bursts of energy, so the room is filled with rowers, treadmills and custom designed S3 benches and weights. Linear lighting – beginning with a deep electric blue – contrasts with a moody interior, steering the mind towards the heart-pumping tasks at hand.
• Cycle. The rounded cycle theater focuses rider attention on the instructor – much like the spokes of a wheel – setting the stage for a thrilling ride. Designed to build endurance, speed and overall body strength, cycling at S3 offers the full motivational experience, including best-in-class choreography, dramatic lighting effects and incomparable sound.
• Yoga. In this studio, a soft glow envelops yogis from all angles. Natural illumination from the outside washes over the space, while interior fixtures create a canopy of light above. With soft colors and a vibrant green wall, the result is a calm, comfortable space that is further grounded with incorporation of organic materials. Custom mats, weights, bands, blocks and other accessories complement both yoga flow and yoga strength formats.

The expansion of Studio Three to Miami is preceded by the company’s first three locations in Chicago, in the River North, Lincoln Park and Fulton Market neighborhoods. A fourth location will open in a new hotel, residential and retail development in downtown Austin, TX this fall.

Studio Three Miami is slated to open Spring 2023 at 90 NW 29th Street. Stay up to date by visiting www.studiothree.com and following on Instagram at @studiothree.
