Okay, so Cassey Ho’s Blogilates line has landed at Target, promising cute and affordable workout gear. But does it deliver on quality and performance? This review dives into the Blogilates collection, comparing leggings, sports bras, and tops to other Target brands like All in Motion and JoyLab, and even Cassey’s own Popflex. Let’s find out if this line is a fitness fashion win or a flop.
Leggings are a workout wardrobe essential. Blogilates offers a variety of styles, from basic black to vibrant prints, boasting a “squat-proof” design. After testing them through lunges, squats, yoga, and even a grocery run, here’s the lowdown:
The material is surprisingly soft, almost buttery, making them comfortable for lounging or low-impact activities. In darker colors, they held up well during squats, with no see-through moments. However, lighter shades showed some sheerness when bending over.
Fit is generally true to size, though the waistband felt a bit snug in some pairs. For around $25, these leggings are a solid budget-friendly option for everyday workouts. They likely won’t replace your high-end leggings, but they’re a great value.
Sports Bras: Support System or Style Statement?
Sports bras are crucial for comfort and support. Blogilates offers various styles, from low to medium support. The crossover style provided adequate support for yoga and gentle movements, but probably wouldn’t suffice for high-impact running. Some experts believe higher support is essential for high-impact activities to prevent discomfort and potential injury, though research is ongoing.
The breathable material prevents overheating and constriction. However, the straps tended to dig in after a few hours. At around $20, they offer decent value.
Tops: Fashionable and Functional?
Blogilates tops range from basic tanks to trendy tees. The knotted performance tee, while cute, felt boxy. The cropped tank tops offered better movement and comfort during workouts. Overall, the tops are decent for layering or wearing solo, with quality comparable to other Target activewear.
Overall Assessment: Hit or Miss?
The Blogilates line is a mixed bag. Leggings (especially in darker colors) and cropped tanks exceeded expectations for the price, offering comfort, functionality, and style. Sports bras and some tops fell short. While not revolutionary, the collection provides stylish, affordable workout gear. If you’re on a budget, it’s worth checking out, but manage your expectations.
