If you walked into our house or peeked into our closets, cars, etc., you might night notice a reoccurring theme… Fitness gear..
EVERYWHERE.
Cycling gear, swim gear, run shoes, hats, jackets, bikes, gym bags (um, I don’t leave home without my Livewell360 bag), and more.
We treat fitness gear like precious cargo because we really couldn’t do our jobs without it, ya know? Okay I could still be “sherpa wife” in the kitchen but you get my point. 
Our fitness gear (fit gear) and clothing need to be of good quality in order to meet the daily training demands. And it doesn’t hurt if it’s some what stylish too. I could always use a little style.
Here’s where I talk about new love for Albion —-> Yes, stylish fitness gear and apparel. You see, a few weeks ago Albion offered to send me a few pieces of apparel to demo. As a fitness instructor, I’m always up for trying out new fitness clothes, so naturally I said yes. But I also told them I am very peculiar about my fitness gear and that would not be comfortable reviewing it here (on cotter crunch) unless I, myself, would wear it. They kindly agreed and sent me a few items.
I chose the timp vest, love racer, and illusion capris.
When they first arrived I was bit skeptical. I didn’t think they would fit me that well. I have a long torso, arms, and legs. Things just fit me different. But I was pleasantly surprised to have them all fit me quite well. I wore all three pieces over the course of 2 weeks and felt very comfortable in each. See picture of me above (on BOSU) in the capris. I washed them, dried, them, and the materials stayed the same. That’s a huge bonus for us! Remember, we need durable gear! And durable CUTE gear for me of course.
Needless to say, I’m glad I was skeptical only to be proven wrong. The only time I like to be wrong.
Okay, so now that I was proven wrong, how about I share a $100 giveaway for Albion Fit. Makes up for it, right?
With that $100 you can buy any of their apparel, including swimsuits! Did I mention they have swimsuits? Cute ones too!
Here’s How to win.
Open to US/Canada residents
Have you ever been pleasantly surprised by a new line of fitness apparel or fit gear? Have you heard of Albion?

Omg. Love love Albion fit but unfortunately I’ve been too broke to buy anything yet. Hopefully I get my tax return back very soon bc I’m dying to try the black diamond leggings and petal sports bra and unwind pullover and baseball tee, lol. If you check my pin you’ll see it’s pinned to a board called fitness gear, and it’s all albion fit stuff. It’s my wish list. Too bad I’m not getting a large refund so I’ll only be able to get one thing. I would be soooo happy if I won this,,,, fingers and ties crossed 🙂 Ty for the chance!
I love this jacket! Thank you for the giveaway!

styling fitness gear always makes me workout harder..i have not tried Albion products but would love to..

Really. Ever consider it? $$
Your comment about how serious you take your gear leads me to wonder
what your “could not live without” kitchen gear is.
One of mine my microwave egg poacher. Use those so much I go through them like twice a year. LOL. I am also really into my popsicle molds in the summer.
i love my egg poacher too! it’s awesome. definitely fit gear. haha.
And sure, you be my agent, k?

I’ve been keeping my eye on Albion Fit for a while, and lusting over some of their work out gear that they’ve been posting on instagram. Huge fav of mine are their striped anything’s, and I love my grey and yellow’s together.

Such cute gear!!!! and PS: your arms look great! 🙂
These are so cute! I love the vest. Trying hard to look less like a slob in the gym…
I’ve heard about Albion, I just haven’t bought anything yet.. I’m sure the gear is awesome, just a little pricey right now for the wallet 😉 I got some Victoria Secret headbands & I was really surprised how great they work!
All of this workout gear is so cute! I love that they have pieces for lounging as well as the gym!
I pinned an outfit on pinterest! Love their clothes!
love, love love albion fit. I love the feminine details, and the swim suits are darling and retro and flattering and I would LOVE to wear some this summer (if the sun ever comes to New England again!!!). A giftcard would be much appreciated for this working student who is in student load debt up to her eyeballs!!!
If you saw how I dress for the gym….it’s shameful. 😀
I LOVE that vest and their suits are adorable. I coveted them all of last summer.
I have heard of Albion, but haven’t had a chance to try. Their stuff looks great! Good to know too, since I have the same long torso issues as you! Pinned some cute stuff – will have to buy some of it now 🙂
Albion’s clothes are so cute! Pinned: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/94646029643229881/

You are my favourite favourite person for opening this up to Canadian residents! Just pinned (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/45599014951636787/) and I LOVE the colour of this top! I haven’t tried any of Albion Fit’s stuff in the past because I didn’t think it was available up here, but I’m thrilled to hear that it is!
anything for YOU
LOVE Albion Fit!! I pinned their Petal Pant.
http://www.albionfit.com/specials/sweet-stripe-capri
Love albion fit!! Pinned a zip-up!
good choice!
Adorable. And I have a feeling our houses look very similar. And my car looks like a gym threw up in it. The life of a fitness family.
i feel like we should all live closer so we an share and feel normal when we don’t ever dress up. LOL!
Awesome giveaway!! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
My house is pretty much the same! Yet I still struggle to throw away the casual/normal clothes I don’t wear very often!
I have never heard of Albion, but I like the look of that! I was surprised with Saucony when i first got my sponsorship, I had always hated their shoes (or thought I did), and had been the Nike Queen, but once I tried what they sent me, I was in love! Albion looks like they have really thought through their products! Its awesome!
me too! i think saucony has come a long way!
I pinned a photo http://www.pinterest.com/pin/165155511309581165/
Their clothes are so cute! And the bathing suits too!
i LOVE albion fit and want their ruffle pants!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved your long shirt they sent you. It was adorable. Ruffle pants would be even more adorable on that belly
Love this jacket! Pinned it!
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/90986854946108932/
LOVE LOVE LOVE ALBION FIT! Totally pinned 🙂
I love Albion Fit so much! I think that fashionable yet practical workout gear is the best EVER! I too live in fitness gear.
I pinned a albion pic. love their line.
Looks like a fun company! I am poised to win a giveaway…I never win! Was laughing so hard about your lead in about fitness gear. His gear, my gear, the kids gear…
I’ve been pleasantly surprised lately by some of the new lines of fitness apparel. I’m so ready for new running gear. Clothes specifically! Short sleeves, capris and shorts specifically. Nothing worn to keep me warm.
yes!! i can’t wait for shorts and tanks! haha
