Try getting outside for your next workout. There's no gym membership associated with hills full of inclines, always free park water fountains available and dog watching between sprint intervals. Sure, you may not be able to build the “community” as if you were in an exercise class or CrossFit gym, but there truly isn't anything like getting outside with yourself or your significant other and breaking a sweat in the fresh air.

In reality, after these workouts you're usually not going straight home—you're probably running some errands or picking up a post-workout smoothie or well-earned breakfast. So you need performance gear that can also look great roaming down the sidewalk as well. The Mono Air Houdi from Houdini is a breathable lightweight jacket that's also great for insulated warmth, the shoes from Salomon are perfect for hiking or running sprints, but can also pair well with a nylon pant. And the simplistic Nalgene-style bottle from Kinto will stylishly keep you hydrated all day. We've pulled together a list of brands that will perform well under your most intense workouts and be comfortable enough to meet up with friends for an afternoon brunch.
