pilates clothes - reviews
Love these ...
I've purchased these ... three different colors over the past month. I love them and I'm very picky about these types of ... don't like the ones that sit really low on my waist; I'm in my 40s and have had 3 kids--I'm not trying to be 18!! Thank you for understanding that. They have washed up really nicely; I've even put them in the dryer. I wear them to do Pilates, take long walks; they look great with a pair of tennis shoes or a pair of sandals when I wear them with a tunic top to go out running errands. They are very versatile. Love them!!
Lovely Yoga ...
I love the blend of fabric in these ... it's crazy comfy and keeps shape really well due to the good stretch. The color I ordered, Asphalt is a pretty gray that goes well with tons. I will be using these mostly for yoga, pilates, and just an alternative to jeans during the week and weekend. The medium fits me just as I had hoped and it doesn't slide off my waist because it's a little higher rise than my other yoga ... Buy em, and you'll be happy!
Great workout ...
I typically buy ... exclusively from another major company of workout clothes, but lately they have not produced any new styles. I am VERY GLAD that I gave these Athleta ... try! I LOVE THEM!!! I was concerned with the wicking ability and how it would compare to my other brand of workout ... but there is no question that these ... have great wicking ability (I teach group fitness classes and fear wearing gray ... because of the chance of showing off my sweaty areas when stretching, kicking, etc.--So far no issues with that!). I also love that Athleta offers petite sizes; I have to look for the "short" option because most workout ... made for "tall" people and I step all over the hem! I am 5'1" and the short/petite option with their ... fits great.
LOVE these ...
I absolutely love these ... bought the heather gray pair first and then bought a black pair because they fit so nicely. They are a little more flared at the bottom than I thought they would be but I don't mind too much. I am in my 2nd trimester of my pregnancy and just starting to show. I bought these ... Large Petite so I can hopefully wear them throughout the rest of my pregnancy even though I am a size Medium normally. Because the ... stretchy I"m not swimming in the Large. I'm 5'4" and the petite length is perfect! I work in a small office where the dress code is business casual and these ... nice enough to get away with wearing all day but then still wear them to pilates at lunch. If they come out with more colors of these ... probably by at least one more pair. They are awesome and so comfy.
Why Can''t I Live in These?
These are my first chaturanga product, and I am totally happy. Unlike a lot of reviewers, I am not small. I'm 5' 8" and a size 12 or 14 in regular clothes. The large is PERFECT for me. Like, eery perfect. I want to live in these.
Love the ... but fit and waist band has changed
Originally ordered large, which is the size I bought a few years back. My weight and height have not changed, but Athleta must be making their clothes bigger. Medium fit beautifully. At first I did not like the wider waist band. Chaturanga ... used to have a smaller waist band. But when I got the medium and it fit, the waist band was not bad. I'm 5'5", 155lbs, muscular.
Good, solid ... tad short)
I ordered these ... use as my new all around workout ... Gym, Pilates and yoga classes, trail running/hiking ... they're a great material and a great fit but they ARE a bit on the short side (I am 6'2" ... GAP's extra longs are usually perfect, but these longs need maybe another inch on them). Otherwise, I love them.
better than expexted
Just got these ... last week and they have moved into my favorite work out ... position. As a plus size, it can be hard finding good, functional, and attractive work out clothes. These have everything that a girl could want. The waist lays flat and it not binding. The material is slightly thinner than most of ... other ones, so it kept me cooler. They wicked remarkably well in ... hot yoga class...the only possible downfall could be the length. I am 5'8" and they drag the floor in bare feet. They have not gotten in the way, but it could be a problem for someone that has short legs.
Now that I''ve got the sizes figured out...
I'm 5'8", 130 lbs, hips on the low end of the small range based on Athleta's size charts and in excellent shape. However, every pair of fitness ... I've ordered from Athleta in a size small has been too tight. Maybe it's me at age 50 I just don't feel comfortable in skin tight workout clothes anymore. I need at least a 33" inseam so have to order talls and have them hemmed but it's worth it. I've been very happy with the styles, quality and selection Athleta has to offer. Now that I've figured out the sizing I will be ordering more.
Too much fabric at leg opening
Received by Chaturanga ... very disappointed. The size fits OK - XS for my almost 5'4", 105 lbs frame. They are about two inches too long for me but a petite XS would have been too short. I just can't imagine doing any exercise in these ... because there is so much fabric around the leg openings. I like the idea of slimming effect of boot cut legs but these ... legs just flap around too much for yoga or pilates movements. I am sending them back and sticking to capri and tights.
not as nice as I was expecting
I'm 29 yrs old, 5'6", 135 lbs, avg build. Got these in a medium and they are so tight on my rear end that I need to wear a longer shirt. Very unflattering. They are moderate in comfort, not worth the [$] I paid, and not up to par with other athleta products. Also, in the pic, thought these were navy blue, but they're really purple so hard to match with other workout clothes, which is what I had intended them for.
