Fit Check is a series where host Sarah Wasilak tests fresh activewear from brands while trying out a new fitness class, from the latest Pilates hybrid creation to the hot yoga class everyone is talking about on TikTok. For the latest installment, she reviews Nike apparel while trying Jennifer Aniston's go-to low-impact workout Pvolve.
If you're a fan of Pilates or other low-impact workouts that build strength, then you might have heard of Jennifer Aniston's go-to method: Pvolve. The clinically-backed program incorporates sculpting movements and mobility exercises meant to enhance flexibility and tone, and Aniston's personal trainer Dani Coleman is VP and head trainer. "All of our formats focus on building your strength, mobility, and stability. We take you through corrective movement patterns that utilize our unique resistance equipment and move through all planes of motion mimicking how your body moves daily," Coleman tells me ahead of my first Strength & Sculpt class at the Soho studio in Manhattan. "You will leave feeling more energized, lengthened, and strong," she promises me. Coleman and Aniston utilize various Pvolve formats at home with the p.band, p.3 trainer, p.ball, and gliders (all of which I was about to experience in class), plus heavy dumbbells to build lean muscle.
Of course, one of my subsequent questions for Coleman was What do I wear? to which she offered some of the very best advice. Coleman and Aniston both love Nike, Lululemon, and Beyond Yoga, with the latter brand being stocked at workout studios alongside other labels like Tavi, Splits59, and Pvolve-branded apparel. But there are specific Nike products that Coleman says reign supreme for this type of workout, so naturally, I had to put them to the test. The Nike Alate Medium Support Longline Padded Sports Bra ($60), Nike Zenvy Gentle-Support High-Waisted Full-Length Leggings ($100), and especially the Nike Free Metcon 6 Workout Shoes ($120) are tried-and-trusted, and I layered a Nike 24.7 ImpossiblySoft Dri-FIT Oversized Crew-Neck Top ($90) on top to complement these smooth, elevated basics and provide some extra warmth.
Ahead, I put Coleman and Aniston's favorite Nike fitness gear to the test while working out at Pvolve, all to determine whether or not it passes my Fit Check.
