If I could pick one of the coolest things to come from Quarantine, it would definitely be the opportunity and joy I received by being able to work with team Vuori!

I had originally met a few of their team members at the end of last year, when they came in to the gym I teach at in Newport Beach, CAZ TRAINING CLUB. They were super friendly and CAZ actually did a collab with them for our studio merch. It’s dope.

When Quarantine hit, they reached out to me about doing LIVE Instagram workouts with them, to keep people positive through this hard time and get people moving and sweating from home!

2 months later and I am still doing them! If you haven’t done one, they’re every Thursday at 8 AM. Come start your morning with me doing HIIT (High intensity interval training), no weights are needed and they’re only 30 minutes. (Don’t worry I will have you sweating ;))

Instagram: @vuoriclothing + @mckennza.

The more I learned about Vuori, the more I grew to love them.

From their friendly, active team, to being started in a garage in San Diego (my hometown yew!), to being the number one outfit I grab as I rush out the door to train myself or others!

Let’s talk VUORI: What does it even mean, and how do you say that word haha?!

VUORI: (vee-or-ee)

Vuori means mountain, but to us it represents the view from the summit- the expansive clarity it can provide and awe-inspiring experience it brings.

In 2015, Founder Joe Kudla (and yes, I have met him, he’s extremely down to earth and handsome, just saying), was seeking activewear that fit his versatile lifestyle; comfortable product that performed exceptionally well, yet did not sacrifice style. All of the mens yoga products were made by women's brands and the traditional athletic brands didn't feel fresh and modern.

SO YES, Vuori was actually started for Men! And they have more recently added Women’s to their line.

**Highly rec this brand for the boys, there are not many good ones out there**

The WHY: From studio to street, from beach to bar, from land to sea. Vuori products are functionally designed to transcend traditional boundaries and blur the lines between fitness and life.

Okay, does that sound like you?! That is 100% me… Fitness and life…blurred into one? Sign me up.

PSA: That little “JuneShine” Stitching will not be on the clothes. This was another collab I was part of. But this is the exact style :)

QUALITY + FIT are two huge game changers when it comes to working out.

I do not want sagging and I want them to actually last. That may mean, I spend a little bit more, but it’s worth it. They also can handle sweat!

Thank God!

In todays post, I specifically want to highlight one of my favorite outfits. You may have guessed from the photos, I have already posted. Yep that’s the one! I have been wearing it for the last couple months and it is still good as new.

You may say, “Wait, shorts? Ehhh, I am more of a pants girl, got to go…”

HOLD UP! Hear me out first. That is what I originally thought too.

I would not be posting about them if I wasn’t obsessed. And let’s be honest, there are VERY FEW WORK OUT SHORTS that are out there, that I could ever approve of. That is why I want to yell it off a mountain so bad ;)

THESE ARE A RARE GEM INDEED.

Why do I LOVE this set:

HIGH WAISTED. 4 WAY STRETCH. POCKETS. LENGTH. COMFORT. DURABILITY.

The Rhythm Shorts have a high rise, interior waistband pocket and side leg pockets to store your phone or cards. From studio HIIT classes to a run on the beach, these have been incredibly reliable for me. And I made them stand the test.

The matching Rhythm top is super comfortable as well. Both are moisture wicking. A MUST for me.

They come in two colors: Dusk + Gray.

In my experience, other shorts I have tried to wear while working out, rise up in the booty or sag down. I don’t wand a wedgie while I jump up and down, possibly mooning the person behind my in class…and I don’t want them sagging as I run down the beach. You feel? This length is PERFECT.

Not only do I feel amazing in their clothes, but I feel a part of a community. One that I have actually seen, behind the scenes, by working along side them. And that is one I will always want to support.

Good people, good clothes.
