Last week Glam & Under Armour kicked my butt at a Core Fusion blogger bootcamp class at Exhale Spa at the Hotel Gansevoort! But it was all in good fun, and in celebration of Under Armour’s What’s Beautiful contest!


When I arrived at the spa, I immediately received a head-to-toe custom outfit from Under Armour. I’m talking an Armour sports Bra™, UA Muscle Tank, UA Shatter II Capri workout pants, Grippy II No Show Socks, UA Spine RPM Running Shoes and a UA Shatter Tote bag and water bottle. (See more info on the products I wore, below). I changed into my new look and then hit the red carpet for my closeup!



Next, our group of bloggers headed into the room ready for a good workout. And that’s exactly what we got! After the Under Armour reps chatted with us about their women’s product line as well as their new campaign, “No Matter What, Sweat Everyday“, and did a presentation on the contest, the Exhale Core Fusion team took over and gave me and the other bloggers the workout of our lives!

After the class, I felt re-energized and invigorated, and a little bit (OK, a LOT!) exhausted, but we had the chance to relax over a healthy lunch of sushi, salad and smoothies. Plus, the staff at Exhale gave us much-needed massages. It was the perfect pampering treat needed after the bootcamp.

Under Armour “What’s Beautiful” Contest

Armour Bra™
Digging, bouncing, pain, and permanent damage—fighting with your sports bra shouldn’t be part of your fitness routine. So we spoke with athletes. We worked with Dr. Joanna Scurr, the authority on biomechanics of the female body. And we tested hundreds of prototypes. The result is the revolutionary Armour Bra™, sized so both band and cup fit your exact body type. Now, instead of squeezing into a Small or falling out of a Large, you can choose your exact size for the perfect performance fit.

UA Spine RPM Running Shoe
Built to support every move you make, the Women’s UA Spine running shoe does what others can’t. It delivers the sturdiness of a stability shoe with the weightlessness of a distance shoe. How? We took a dual density foam chassis and carved out the bulk to create an ultra-light, ultra-responsive mile eater that actually mimics the human spine. THIS IS HOW WE RUN.
