SOYJOY is giving THREE winners an opportunity to upgrade their gym wardrobe with a $300 Lululemon Athletica gift card………..holy COW! Really, does it get any better than that?!?!
Because most of you reading this are just as in love with going to the gym as I am, the chance to win WORKOUT CLOTHES gift cards is probably the best thing ever to you too……plus, the fact that we all know that we are in workout clothes more than real people clothes makes this prize that much cooler.
(I think this picture qualifies me for needing a new gym wardrobe….I got a lot of weird stares from all the people around me when I was on the elliptical with this on. PS who posts pictures of themselves like this on the internet?)
The awesomely cool websiode for the contest is HERE
Make sure to follow their twitter page to get more updates on the contest HERE!!!
I absolutely LOVE how Soyjoy explained why they are doing this contest:
“Our take on what makes a workout great isn’t about the calories burned, it’s about feeling confident. And what better way to feel confident than with a new gym wardrobe?!”
Not gonna lie……but when I wear an old tshirt with stains (okay, 98% of my wardrobe), a worn out sports bra and shorts from my junior high cheer camp, I feel really awkward and the odds of me doing anything other than getting on the back corner elliptical are low.
When I go to the gym in something that I feel confident in and that is still the original color that I bought it as, I am much more likely to get a better workout in and dare I say even attempt doing weights and really getting my sweat on.
You also have a chance to win right here on HRG and one reader will win a $100 Lulu Lemon giftcard!!! Giveaway will end on Nov. 21st.
How to enter:
1. Leave a comment telling me what makes you feel comfortable and confident while working out. You could tell me your favorite brand, whether you love shorts, capris, tanks or t-shirts the best. You could tell me what colors of workout clothes you feel most confident in or what type of fit/fabric is your favorite.
2. Extra entry…..tweet this giveaway, post it on facebook or include it on your blog and leave a separate comment telling me that you did!

I almost seem to have a workout uniform: black capris and a brightly colored tank top. I get super sweaty so like to wear a tank to keep things breezy. And I love capris because they are snug while running. Perfect combo :)
Catherine
Just tweeted about your giveaway :)
Rachel
I just tweeted about your giveaway yay! Thanks :)
amanda c
Awesome! I adore the Lululemon running crops. They are like the Spanx version of running pants, no bounce and super flattering. On top, I dig just about anything as long as my belly is not showing, it fits properly and doesn’t chafe on long runs. :)
Becca
I love workout clothes because they suck in all the extra fat. In fact, my Sister and I call these shirts our “Shirdles” (shirt + girdle). They make me feel strong and powerful, like I can accomplish anything!
Pearson Smith
Outside, a nice pair of thick spandex for the winter is my go to and in the gym, a scoop neck built-in-bra Lulu top
Heather
I prefer shorts (loose or spandex will work, and it depends on the workout), and a tank top. Winter runs it is tights and long sleeves for obvious reasons. The brighter the colors, the better!
Heather
Tweeted about your giveaway. :)
Erica
I used to work out in an oversized t-shirt and baggy shorts, but as I have gotten older and more fit I love tank tops and capris. Right now my favorite tank is from Target and I love my Nike capris. I am loving my dark purple shirt right now and I now stay away from cotton because I feel like I’m sitting in my own sweat.
Audra M.
I love my SkirtGoddess running skirts. They’re so comfortable! I just wish they hadn’t gone out of business. :(
aves
I like really really tight leggings! No jiggle on the treadmill ;)
Audra M.
I just posted about your giveaway on Facebook!
Stephanie
I love wearing my target capri leggings with a Lululemon tank! Comfortable and flattering! :)
Ashley
My HM outfit from the weekend – NEON pink (and neon is in caps for a reason, they were bright!) shorts and a (boring gray) semi-fitted top. Something about looking down and seeing really really bright colors puts me in a better mood and then I run better. Also, after 20 years of black / white / navy shorts for soccer you had better believe I rock every color of the rainbow now. Running clothes make me happy!
Lisa@thedailyrundown
I love running clothes. I spend more on them than regular clothes. I love working out in capris and tanks (anything dri fit)
Larissa
I mostly love tank tops and either shorts or capris.
Elizabeth
Even if everything else is ratty, I always feel more confident (and intense!) with my sunglasses on – they’re wraparound FISHING glasses, so they don’t budge when I’m running, and they make me look like I should be on a motorcycle!
Emily
I like tight booty shorts for running…idk, I feel faster when I wear them! And preferably lululemon, but I only have one pair of pants from there :(
Amanda
I feel most confident wearing crops & a bright feminine top! Awesome giveaway- thanks!!!!
Jen
When I run, I am most comfortable in capris or tights. When I ellipticize or work out indoors, I love wearing skirts or shorts and tank tops. I just bought a few lululemon items and I am blown away by the comfort, quality and cuteness:)
Jen
I posted about the give away on my blog.
Missy
I really love Nike workout clothes but I haven’t tried Lululemon clothes yet.
Kate
I love under armour and my favorite shirts are actually the race shirts from the Nike women’s marathon – I’ve run the last 3 years more for the shirt that the Tiffany necklace!
Missy
My favorite workout clothes are Nike but I haven’t tried Lululemon, would love to try them out!
Missy
I’m posting your giveaway on my blog!
Allyssa
I feel most comfortable and confident working out in form fitting tank and tempo shorts. It’s very hot and humid where I live so the lightweight shorts are a must and I don’t like to feel fussy and fidgety with my tops. I don’t want to readjust them all the time.
Allyssa

Jerilee @ Mom's Gone Running
I love my Athleta Hana shorts for running- but only when it’s warm. I wear some Gap exercise capris to the gym. I love Nike singlets for races. I have lots of favorites :).
Sara
I’m most comfortable in an old t-shirt and gym shorts.
Hillary
Nike shorts and a t-shirt are my favorite.
Sara

Natalie
I feel most comfortable in relatively loose clothing….nothing too tight. I like the athletic clothing brands at Target best!
Haley
I just got my first cold-weather running shirt with THUMBHOLES (!) and I’d have to say that I feel the most comfortable wearing that… with pants, obviously. I feel confident and excited. It’s also bright purple, so that helps.
Kim Golding
Holy lotta entries! Sheesh! I workout in the rattiest t-shirts and fairly decent capris, but could certainly use some new things! I NEVER win anything, however I have been running or working out 5 days a week for the past 4 weeks! Yeah!
Kim Golding
And I tweeted!!
Diana
Not-stanky gym clothes are definitely a confidence-booster in the gym! Working out with a friend is a big plus too – that way when I accidentally find myself near a weight machine that I don’t understand, I can ask her what I do.
I am so thrilled that you are hosting a lulu giveaway – I just found the lulu store in St. Louis and was preparing to kiss my paycheck goodbye. Fingers crossed, you just might save it…so that I can spend it all at the Kate Spade store I also just found ;)
Erica
My favorite thing to wear is crop pants and a tank top and my favorite Nikes!
Jodi
I am very particular about my clothes. I like capri length thigh fitting (not flared) black pants, my Tata Tamer sports bra then a long tight tank with a support bra ( I have big boobs and like the extra support), then a looser top over all that. I wear a zip up hoodie when it is extra cool out or to and from the gym. I also have to have my hair in a tight bun and a headband. I hate it when a stay hair touches my face when working out!
meredith
i actually feel best in lululemon – i am a recent convert – and it is AH-MAZ-ING! especially the run speed shorts!
Maggie
I love wearing a FSU (go Noles!) t-shirt and Nike running shorts.. perfection :)
Andrea (Run. Learn. Repeat.)
I feel most comfortable in my addidas capri tights because they fit so well and make me want to run fast. :) I also love shorts, t-shirts, and tanks since it’s hot here 10 months out of the year. I’ve never tried lululemon, but I want to because everyone I see wearing it looks so cute in it!
Andrea (Run. Learn. Repeat.)
Just tweeted about this!
samantha
I love Nike Tempo Shorts or black running tights the best. But I cannot for the life of me wear a tight tank or tee shirt to run! I feel so restricted!
Evi
capris and tank tops are the best! Although a long sleeve t-shirt can also be perfect when it’s a bit chilly!
Abi
Love my running shorts and wicking tees. In the winter, I love my running tights!
Ashley
Well, I should probably be taking a picture of me in my clothes because the majority of it is ratty old Wal Mart specials, but I do have two Lululemon tanks that I wash on an almost daily basis so I can wear them. So comfy!! Definitely either capris or pants, I’m not a big fan of shorts.
Ashley
And I fb this! So many people I know would love to win this!!
Michelle
I feel most comfortable/confident when I am wearing a pair of Target workout capris. I don’t know what it is about the length, but its totally my favorite!
beachgirlrunning
AWESOME giveaway! Gym time = capri or skirt and tank. LOVE lululemon! THX so much!
Steff
Great giveaway!
I actually just discovered Lululemon and I am obsessed. I got a pair of run crops and some shorts and I wear one or the other on every. Single. Long run. Because you have to look GOOD when you are slogging it out for hours, right?
Shay
Shorts and racerback tanks are my favorite. Bright colors are my favorite!Currently I am into Nike but would love to try Lululemon.
XLMIC
My Moving Comfort Juno bra makes me feel comfortable and confident when I work out. I have it in three colors…they are the only non-black thing in my workout wardrobe…which is patheticly limited :P I swear, if I had my Juno on, I could run in jeans!
bonnie
I feel most comfortable in my mizunos, yoga pants from Old Navy, any old oversized shirt, and my Nike sports bra.
Sasha
This would be wonderful to win! It would help me stay motivated with my workouts. I love to wear t-shirts the most! They are comfortable and keep me cool (temperature wise ;) ) Also, I love compression leggings!
Sarah
I love running in running skirts in the summer but right now I am all about compression capris that I got from old navy! I am in them day and night right now!!
Ashley
I know they’re kind of cheesy, but I love love love running skirts.
Kim
I’m more of a yoga/pilates girl and Lululemon is my favorite brand!
Adina
I feel most confident working in comfortable, a breathable t shirt/tank with black nike combat capris. My favorite workout clothing brand will always be the champion line at target and nike!
Lauren
My favorite workout clothes are the nike tempo shorts, nike sneaks, lululemon cool racerback tank. I love the lulu grove pants and the wonder unders are amazing.
melissa
i like to workout in nike tops because their sassy sayings make me work harder!
TC
I’m most comfortable in black capris, and an old T shirt. Although sometimes I get “fancy” with a runners half zip. :)
Nikki
I usually wear running shorts and a talk top. My favourites are from Lululemon, of course!
Kate
Three words: Lulu’s wunder unders. :)
Hanna
I like anything Dri-fit! And especially anything from Lululemon!
Sarah
I love love LOVE my nike tempo running shorts. I have lots of different colors! They’re so comfortable and cute!
lacey
I LOVE black running capris with a lycra-ish material tank, the tightness makes me appear skinnier haha. Nike tempos are growing on me though. I love neon color tops!
Kristen N
Tank tops and shorts!!
Sarah
Tweeted about the giveaway!!
Catriona
I just bought two work out tops from the Gap — one is bright pink and the other is bright teal.
I feel the best when I’m wearing bright clothes that aren’t too tight but are not super baggy. Comfort and color = a winning combo!
Nessa @ Isle Style Living
I love to wear capris and tank tops when I work out. They are usually just regular cotton type gear from Target or Wal Mart but I would love to wear a wardrobe better geared to being sweaty and having lots of movement!
I don’t really care about color all that much.
Leah
tanks and lulu crops!

I like wearing black running capris and a bright shirt! My favorite is the “run:swiftly” line from Lululemon. :)
Jackie
i feel most comfortable wearing nike running shorts (warmer months) or adidas capris (cooler months) and a semi-fitted, dry fit tee. love the fit of these items, but would LOVE to own anything lululemon :)
Amy
Also tweeted your giveaway (@amyeileen80)
Lindsey
Gotta love the temp shorts and old school t-shirt. It’s my favorite work out combination!
ashley @ ashley's adventures in alaska
My favorite workout (usually outdoor running) clothes in the summer are bright pink running shorts and a black long sleeved t shirt. In the winter… I wear anything that will keep me warm. :) Gotta stay warm in Alaska!
Keri
I seriously NEED some new workout clothes (which is sad because I work at a gym). I have a pair of pants from Old Navy that I love. I feel confident in them because they fit me perfectly. I also prefer brightly colored tops.
Erin
Right now, my black Tempos and a v-neck Under Armour shirt…but I’d love something from lulu!
Andrea @ Andrea in Training
In the summer, I love my Nike Pacer shorts, but in the winter, I’m all about my CW-X capris. For tops it’s either a short- or long-sleeved Nike Miler, depending on the weather. I have a variety of colors and really just pick whatever I’m in the mood for! :)
Maggie
I love wearing capris/crops and a tank…when you have capris that are tight enough without squeeezzing things weird it is the. best.
Also having a cute headband never hurt anyone :)
Jessica W.
I feel best in my capris tights and a tank top :) I love black for working out because it hides the sweat… and I sweat A LOT! I love my strong calves and capris really show them off :)
Laura
i’m most comfortable in pants that i know aren’t cheap and going to split down the middle when i do my squats!!
Pam
This is a good one Janae!! :)
I love Nike tempos!! Very comfy, never chaffe. :)
Connie
i always like working out in a long sleeve shirt or hoodie..and i love nike frees!!! so comfy :)
Charissa Steyn
I love wearing anything NIKE and also pink:) Makes me feel girly and strong!
Katherine
I tend to wear either shorts or capris with old t-shirts from college :) I keep meaning to invest in more shirts made of wick away material because they are definitely more comfortable during a long run or spin class!
Ashley
I prefer a tank and running shirts. The color doesn’t matter to me too much because no color is flattering when you are beet red and drenched in sweat. :-)
Karen
Love most Nike workout clothes. As a rule, their items seem to fit better than other brands’. Would love to win some new clothes– have heard a lot of good things about lululemon but they are super expensive!
Kelli C
I love working out in shorts and a tank top! I am too poor to afford anything from Lululemon, but I love their stuff so I would be so happy if I won this!!
Kelli C
I tweeted! :)
Erin
I am a capris and tank kinda girl. I get pretty sweaty so no sleeves are a must. However, not ready for the world to see me in some short shorts so capris it is.
Samantha
Great giveaway!! I definitely don’t feel like I have to dress up to work out, but it is empowering to show off the things you work so hard for! I feel best in a tank because my arms are my best assets.
Amanda
I like comfy shorts that don’t cause chafing, and a nice wicking tee. And a good headband.
cindy
I feel most confident running when the weather is cooler. Since I live in Florida…that usually only means less than 70! So…those days I pull out my capris and a tank. I guess that would be my most confident outfit!
Katie
I love running in cold weather much more than warm weather. I love wearing running tights of any kind, with a great shirt to match! The brighter the color, the more fun ( and safer!) your run is!
Jessica
LOVE Victoria’s Secret PINK yoga leggings for working out actually! + a fun bright colored tank… I have to wear fun things when I work out or my motivation is completely zapped : ) what a fun giveaway!!!
Emily
I like to wear short shorts (lulu or Underarmour) and a bright tank top or a shirt from a race! Love my tights in the winter though!
Sabrina @ Radioactive Runner
I like wearing pants and a tank top (both form fitting).. i can’t workout in t-shirts.. so I guess I feel most comfortable in tank tops! I also always go with dark (mostly black) clothes because I sweat WAY to much to wear light colors.
Martina
I like to look like a runner, that makes me feel most confident. So whatever the weather, I dress in my most appropriate running gear! Love winter running!
Lori
Not too picky…a comfortable fitting pair of running shorts (usually Nike) and a Drifit tee so I’m not soaked with sweat afterwards. And definitely something to keep my hair out of my eyes!
Alicia from Poise in Parma
I like to wear a color that is bright – it tends to inspire me to stay motivated throughout the workout. A fun top is always better than an old tshirt!
Heather
My knee length shorts from Impact Fitness are my most favorite workout shorts EVER. I always feel good in them – fat day or not. :)
Heather
I tweeted, yo. (@heatha262)
Jordan @ food, sweat, and beers
I’d have to say that my neon blue and green Reebok Zigs (my “pumped up kicks”) are absolutely my favorite piece of workout gear! They are always a bright flash of color in the mostly gloomy colored gym, reminding me that exercise = fun, NOT misery.
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud!
I included the giveaway in my bloggy post today. YAY cant wait to win that beast ;)
CLEgal @ Why CLE?
I like black yoga pants and a t-shirt for working out.

Love having my iPod going with great music…this puts me in the right frame of mind when I work out. I also like comfy undies. There’s nothing worse than major wedge factor going on in the middle of a workout. For reals.
Lola
I love black spandex, I can get a sweaty as I want and although I’ve made a pool on the floor, you can’t see it on my clothes. And I still wear a lot of my college-branded sportwear even though I graduated 2 years ago….But I love my lulu spandex(s)=AMAZING and last forever. Thanks Janae!
Debbie
Black capris and cute ankle socks! (and shoes)
Dana
I love running in shorts and a tank because it means there is warm weather to enjoy!
Natalie M.
I feel most comfortable wearing my lulu lemon running crops and a nike dri fit top. It’s my most comfortable, stylish & flattering workout outfit & I always have a better workout wearing something I’m comfortable in!
Natalie M.

ttleslie slider
I feel most comfortable working out at home on the treadmill and elliptical, in my jockey brand capris and a tank. No judgements for getting all sweaty. Lol
Lauren
I love to wear shorts and tank tops when I work out!
Amanda @ For The Love of Everything
Capris and tank are the way to go! I just got my first few lulu items at an outlet in Florida! Prices were amazing! I love them. Probably the best workout clothes I have ever owned.
Jess
I love working out in shorts and a loose t-shirt!
Lorena
I feel most comfortable in tights and a fitting shirt while running. I LOVE lululemon:)
Olga
I love working out in my Lululemon Wunder Under Crops and Dri-Fit Nike tank tops. In addition to being comfortable, they’re super flattering :)
Jade
I love fitted capri’s and my moving comfort sports bra’s (gotta keep the ladies in place!!)
But right now in WI winter, I cannot live with out my underarmour warm snuggly running tights and tops!!
Don’t ask about my Nike and Saucany shoes that I need to match my outfits….(they are hidden under my bed so the husband doesn’t know how many there really are!) I may have a shoe obsession…
Elana
I like running and working out in dark colored yoga capris and a bright colored wicking tee. I run better when I feel like I look cute.
Cole
Lately I have found that I am most comfortable running in running skirts or capris, the brand I have is Champion but I’m not too picky!
Kyra
tweeted about it!
Amanda C.
I definitely feel more comfortable when i’m wearing a running skirt and tank.
Heather
My go-to comfy workout clothes are Nike tempos and a t-shirt. Although I recently bough the Lululemon speed run shorts and I love those for running!
janice
anything girly makes me feel comfortable and confident while working out. whether it be a pink top, a ruffly skirt or a sparkly headband!
Melissa
I feel most comfortable in any color shorts with black short spandex underneath especially when i do things like crunches. I like any old t-shirts, i hate new ones cause they are still new feeling. Also love any bic band to keep my hair out of my face!
Katie
I have a Brooks running skirt that I love. Also I love wearing tank tops and long sleeves. I do not like wearing short sleeves, which is terrible because almost all races have a short sleeve shirts.
becky
black capris and a workout tank make me feel best. i’ve started a “lululemon” fund to save up for some new nice things – i would love to add that gift card to it!
Denise
Sad answer: SWEAT makes me confident! If I’m pouring sweat, I feel like I’ve done something!
Mary
I live in workout clothes! My go-to outfit would have to be a pair of black addidas capri’s from 6 years ago paired with any t-shirt. Now that it is getting colder, I exchange the capri’s for my nike running pants. I definitely feel the most comfortable in running capri’s or pants and a dri-fit racing long sleeve shirts. : )
Awesome giveaway!!
Emily
My favorite workout clothes are capris and a loose fitting tank top! Its all I wear! :)
Julie Nicole
Just tweeted also! Such a great giveaway! : )
Walton Skelley
I feel most confident when I don’t match (on purpose, of course). I think I look like more of an athlete when I look like “I just don’t care” that my hot pink sports bra is showing from underneath my red tank, or whatever. I love to look like I just don’t care–even though those are normally the outfits I pick out the night before!! haha…
Kathy
I have a pair of black capris that I LOVE LOVE LOVE – usually I just wear a racing shirt on top – but I also have a Lucy tank that makes me happy. It’s a bright tangerine color, and it always makes me confident when I wear it.
Great giveaway!
PJ runs
I prefer running in shorts(under armor or Nike are the best fit) and a dry-fit tank or short sleeve that lets me move & doesn’t pull or bunch up.
Verlin
My absolute favourite bottoms are lululemon shorts that I wear to yoga and to run (when it isn’t snowing here!). They are fabulous and I wish I had bought more when they were in stock. For tops, I have a couple of lulu’s, but I “save” those for yoga. Running = nike sports bra and random top. Colour = black, black, or black, to hide a bit of extra chunk ;)
Lauren E.
I definitely feel most comfortable while working out in lululemon! That’s why I need to win this giveaway haha! My full-time student budget doesn’t have room for lovely workout clothes!
Ericah
I am most comfortable at the gym in a pair of black capris, my Kalyx Bra. shirts and socks I am really pretty flexible but the right capris and bra are a must. :)
Katy W.
I love, love, love my Nike capris and a simple Nike tank and tee. Lots of color makes me feel good. I can spend hours browsing lululemon but would need that gift card to justify buying anything!
Julie M
I feel most comfortable in Lulu speed shorts and a racer back tank. Love their workout clothes!
Anna
I feel the most comfortable in carpis and a tank while running. I also love lululemon!
kirstin
I feel most comfortable working out in biker shorts and t-shirts- so comfortable!
