#GiltLife Fit Day

I recently had the opportunity to attend the #GiltLife Fit Day as a guest of Gilt City at their pop up townhome in beautiful SoHo NYC. As part of their new #GiltLife brand campaign, they’ve been hosting a ton of fun events at their townhome with many different themes. But this event was all about fitness.

Fit Day

They had a super cool wall in the main area of the house. The colored pattern is made with (what looked like) yoga mats!

The inside of the townhouse was decorated to the nines.

Let’s take a little tour…

One of each, please!

The dream closet had all the essentials: accessories, activewear, formalwear, and a huge wall of shoes.

Pretty much.

The Samples

There were also samples throughout the townhouse. These Athletic Body Wipes by ShowerPill look like an interesting solution for the fitness fanatic on the run. I haven’t had the chance to test them out yet, but I can do a review if you’re interested.

The house had Smartwater galore. Seeing as how Smartwater is one of my favorite bottled waters (and one I buy almost once a week anyway), free bottles were great. I snagged a sparkling water to try later. I’ve been eyeing it for awhile but didn’t want the bubbles during this fitness event.

These RXBAR samples have been so fun to try. I was able to get (I believe) one of each flavor to try. I’ve tried about three or four flavors so far, and they’re delicious. I’d say they’re becoming a favorite of mine because of the small ingredient list and delicious taste. So glad they had these there.

I also got to sample a bottle of BluePrint’s pineapple mint juice. I had this at the end of the event, and it was very refreshing. I loved the flavor.

Ok, on to the fitness.

The Fitness

#GiltLife Fit Day

The Fit Day event had a live DJ spinning some fun tunes.

I participated in two of the four fitness classes happening that day.

First up, I did the Banana Skirt dance class where we learned music video choreo for “7/11” by BeyoncĂ©. I was excited to see Marissa was the instructor representing Banana Skirt since I’d taken her class before and really enjoyed it. As expected, I had a great time dancing with her and the rest of class.

Next up, it was time for yoga with YeSenia of Exhale.

My blog friend Ashley suggested Exhale to me awhile back, and I’ve been meaning to try their classes. We did a mini power yoga session, and I really liked YeSenia’s teaching style. Def time to visit their studio! I was also noticing that Exhale has some massage and fitness packages on Gilt City, so either of those could be fun for me to try later.

And finally I got to do a demo with Scott of Row House NYC. I’d heard that the Row House classes were great, but the concept was really foreign to me. I’ve never done anything like rowing before, and new is always a little intimidating. The rowing technique was a lot easier than I expected, and I loved how it was really intense but also low impact. I was also happy to learn that newbies can attend any regular class and can go at their own pace. That makes attending my first full class a lot less scary. I’ve already added them to my ClassPass favorites and plan to attend a full class in the near future.

After all the fitness fun, I got a free braid hairstyle by RPZL. She did a simple hairband-style braid using the front sections of my hair and it was super cute. I could see myself wearing my hair like that to teach Zumba.

#GiltLife Campaign

For the #GiltLife campaign, Gilt City has partnered with some fun celebs to bring lifestyle videos and showcase how Gilt City is more than just shopping.

I really liked this video with Alessandra:

But Gilt has released other videos that are fun to see. You can view the others here.
