Our Clients Thought

As an avid yogi and runner, I'm always on the hunt for leggings that can keep up with my active lifestyle. I've tried countless brands over the years but Zella is hands down my favorite for both comfort and durability. I own multiple pairs of the LiveIn leggings and wear them just about every day whether I'm practicing downward dog or going for a jog. The stretchy fabric has enough compression to hold everything in during inversions, but doesn't feel restrictive at all. I also love the thick waistband that stays put while I'm moving around on my mat. The moisture-wicking material keeps me feeling dry even during hot yoga sessions. After tons of washes, my Zella leggings haven't lost their shape or shown any signs of wear. I don't hesitate to recommend this brand to all my fitness-loving friends!

Molly Thompson

As a dad always on the go with my two kids, I need activewear that can keep up with our nonstop lifestyle. I discovered Zella last year and their men's shorts have become my go-to for playdates at the park, weekend hikes, and any activity that requires me to move. The lightweight fabric is so comfortable and allows me full range of motion whether I'm chasing after my toddler or doing yardwork. The quick-dry material is perfect for the Pacific Northwest climate. Even when I work up a sweat running around outside with my family, the shorts keep me cool and dry. The athletic cut is fitted but not too tight. I appreciate the zippered pocket to hold my phone securely when I'm on the move. After countless washes, the shorts still look and feel brand new. Zella has held up better than any other active brand I've tried. I gladly recommend it to all the dads out there!

As a busy professional and mom, I rely on my goto Zella leggings and tops to take me from work meetings to school drop-off to yoga class and everywhere in between. I love the sleek, minimalist look of Zella's designs which make them perfect for wearing during the day or working out. The fabrics hold up wonderfully no matter how often I wear them. My favorite piece is the LiveIn high waist legging which offers the perfect mix of compression and comfort. They fit smoothly under dresses and tunics but also feel stretchy and non-restrictive during yoga sessions. I appreciate the hidden waistband pocket for storing my key or ID when I'm on the go. Zella pieces always fit true to size and the colors are beautiful in person. I get compliments anytime I wear my Zella athleisure outfits around town!

My New Year's resolution was to finally get back in shape by working out several times a week. I quickly learned that having the right athletic apparel makes a huge difference when it comes to motivation and performance. After researching top activewear brands online, I decided to invest in some Zella men's tops and shorts. I'm so glad I made the switch from my old worn out gear! Zella clothes are perfect for everything from intense CrossFit workouts to restorative yoga. The lightweight, stretchy fabrics allow me to move freely without restriction. I love the subtle reflective details that keep me visible on early morning runs. The moisture-wicking material keeps me cool and dry even when I work up a major sweat. After dozens of workouts and washes, my Zella shorts and tops look brand new. This durable, high quality activewear has me feeling confident and performing at my best. I'm a Zella customer for life!

James Park

As a yoga teacher and spin instructor, I live in leggings and activewear. Finding styles that are both cute and functional has always been a challenge, until I discovered Zella. Now Zella yoga pants and tops are my uniform when I'm teaching or taking a studio class. The soft, stretchy fabric moves beautifully with my body whether I'm practicing vinyasas or cycling. My favorite LiveIn leggings have quickly become my staple piece. They hit at a flattering high waist and hold their shape wear after wear. I can teach or workout in them for hours without needing to adjust them constantly. The hidden waistband pockets come in so handy for holding my keys and phone. Zella's color selection and prints make getting ready for class fun. Their clothes allow me to focus on my practice rather than fidgeting with my outfit. Zella's high-performance activewear exceeds my expectations in every way. I'm constantly recommending this brand to my students!
