A Busy Mom’s Honest Review Of YogaClub
Moms are busy, busy, these days and its not getting any easier. While I’ve gotten used to my routine, my son said something that made me laugh, and got me thinking. I was telling him that he couldn’t wear his highlighter-colored joggers for the third time that week, and he replied “but you wear your blue pants everyday.” He was right and he was referring to my flannel pajama pants. Between balancing my family, the dog and work, it seems like I’m always in a rush to get something done. Mornings are so insane, I don’t even have time to pick out an outfit for myself, so I end up dropping off the kids and walking our labrador Daisy in my washed-out PJ’s. I didn’t realize I was wearing the same thing every day, but I’d rather not be scolded by the principal about my kids being late. I shared the blue pants story with my sister and she suggested YogaClub.
YogaClub is a monthly subscription box that sends brand name workout apparel straight to your door. For $79 a month the service sends you a hand-curated 3-piece outfit that retails for up to $160, including a pair of yoga pants, a sports bra and top. The clothes are made by brands like Free People and Onzie, and are often pieces that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. The cool thing about the service is that in order to figure out what style options they’ll have the next season, you take the fun Trendsetter Survey online that lets subscribers provide feedback on around 20 different styles. Members vote for what they like and don’t like and the 4-5 top winners will be next season’s options. The traditional fashion world buys a lot of product and hopes to sell it. At YogaClub, they survey their members and then they go and make the clothes everyone actually wants. It’s a true club!
After checking out some pictures on their website, I thought the clothes were really cute, so I decided to go ahead and customize my subscription by taking the easy style quiz. The style quiz helped curate my style profile so the YogaClub stylists can make sure every outfit I get fits me and works for the types of workouts I love! While I was taking mine, I specified that I preferred capri pants and that I liked bold colors and prints.The day I saw my first pink box on my doorstep, I got excited immediately. I hadn’t gone shopping for myself in a while, and I was happy that I found time to treat myself. Inside the box was a pair of bright pink and purple capris by Onzie and a matching greyish top with hints of color. I loved the outfit so much, I put it on the next morning. The outfit was comfortable and perfect for running all my errands. I went straight from dropping the kids off to the post office to a quick morning jog, all without having to head home to change.
I’ve been subscribed for three months already and now have countless outfits, since I like to mix and match the pieces. When stepping out in my PJ’s, I would want to head back home immediately because I just didn’t feel good in what I was wearing. Now with my new outfits, I try to make the most of my down time away from chores and the family. Though my son has yet to mention anything about any of my new pants, I no longer feel disheveled when I’m dropping him off at school. Score! My next goal is to figure out a way to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to a gym routine and thanks to YogaClub I already have the clothes to get started.
