Sweat in Style: The Ultimate Fitness Coach Athleisure Guide!


A special feature on Alex Rasmussen - Personal Trainer based in Nashville, TN

Give us the scoop on your day-to-day as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer!
As a personal trainer & fitness instructor, the days usually start early! Each day is a bit different, which I love. Typically I am out the door to clients by 5 or 6am. Throughout the day, I pop around town to my different clients, and then get my own workout in. Once my workout is done, I will relax or work on client programming. My evenings are slow since the key to getting up early is getting to bed early!
Tell us about your closet staples as a workout instructor - what is a daily outfit like for you?
My typical outfit is a pair of leggings, with a workout tank that has a built-in bra, an Alo sweatshirt, and then fun sneakers. Since I am moving around all day, I need to feel comfortable.
If I don’t choose leggings, I will grab a pair of biker shorts. As the weather gets colder, I will add a cute workout vest over my sweatshirt. Typically I will add a trucker hat too!
The final piece is always sneakers. I have way too many, but I think a fun sneaker is an easy way to take a workout outfit to the next level.

some of Alex’s recent outfits!
How do you add your own style into workout clothes? Knowing that function is *almost* as important as fashion in this case.
Sneakers! As a I said above I am a sneaker fanatic, if you know me, you know this. Luckily, my career allows me to wear athletic sneakers all day so I can pick out sneakers that express my vibe.
I would also say my style comes out in my Trucker Hat selection. I think it’s such a fun way to level up and outfit. Most of my trucker hats are fun & bright.
The number one sneaker on my wishlist right now linked below!
Where do you buy your workout / athleisure clothes? Any favorite brands?
I would say I am pretty loyal to a few places (especially as a girl on the shorter side, it can be hard to find things that fit correctly!). My faves are Lululemon (of course), Alo & Vitality. I also love Aviator Nation for hats.
My philosophy is that if I feel cute in my work & workout attire, I will have a better day & better workout!
