Clothes are go-to gifts — they are, after all, an essential need in our daily lives. But there’s little cheer in unwrapping something you know you’re unlikely to wear.
This year, make that “thank you!” when you open your gifts a genuine one by sharing a few of your wish-list picks with your loved ones. Life Time’s Winter Apparel collection features go-to items that you can count on to power you through your workouts, while also delivering style, comfort, and versatility.
Curated with insights from a couple of Life Time trainers, this list previews a few of our favorite pieces from the collection — check them out and see if you might want to add them to your wish list too. (Shop the full collection here.)
Women’s Apparel Favorites
1. Beach Riot Leah Ribbed Bra Top
This bra top from Beach Riot stands out on its own thanks to its vibrant red color. Offering medium support (with extra support beneath the bust) and thicker straps, it’s soft and easy to pull on. Pair it with the Ayla Ribbed Full Length Legging for a matching set.
“I’m in love with the ribbed texture of this bra,” says Emma Graves, studio master trainer and Dynamic Personal Trainer at Life Time River North at One Chicago in Illinois (seen modeling the piece here). “The longline fit is super flattering on the waist; it hugs you in a secure yet comfortable way. As I moved, it moved with me, staying in place so I didn’t worry about constantly adjusting it.”

2. Beach Riot Ayla Ribbed Full Length Legging
The matching bottoms to the Leah bra top, Beach Riot’s Ayla leggings feature soft, ribbed fabric and an ultra-high, thick waistband that create a flattering silhouette.
“These leggings are lightweight yet supportive and they slip on easily,” says Graves. “When I’m assessing leggings, I want to be comfortable in them as I move in a variety of ways, and these leggings pass that test. I love the way the full set looks with the Leah bra top!”

3. Tavi Chill Full Zip Fleece Jacket
This cozy yet functional jacket by Tavi is ideal for layering, whether on-the-go or relaxing. The super-soft fleece retains heat to help keep you warm.
“I want to live in this jacket,” says Graves. “It felt like being wrapped up perfectly in a blanket. It’s comfortable enough to wear lounging around, but cute enough to wear out on the town. I love its versatility and soft texture.”
