Chelsea Collective: A Fitness and Lifestyle Experience

I was lucky enough to be invited to a pre-grand opening party at the new Chelsea Collective store at Tysons Corner this week.  It was amazing and makes me so excited for this store's official Grand Opening on August 8 & 9th.  THIS WEEKEND.  Seriously, you should go.  It's a gorgeous store and lay out.  It makes you feel like you are walking into a fitness and lifestyle experience, not just shopping for workout gear at a big box store. 

It has a similar experience feel to shopping at a Lululemon or Athleta, but instead of the store being it's own brand it is a collection of brands that I know and love!  They had a ton of Nike gear and running shoes (one of my faves!), old school new balance trainers, Hunter boots, Calia by Carrie Underwood, Lorna Jane and Spiritual Gangster.  The Lorna Jane and Spiritual Gangster items are only carried by Chelsea Collective in the DC area. 

There is an entire section devoted to "freshening up".  Natural deodorants, dry shampoo (my lifesaver!),  facial sprays, etc.  This is so nice because I do often go straight from a work out to work!  After a morning November Project workout, there are no showers since it's held outdoors, not in a gym.  So dry shampoo, body wipes, and deodorant get me through!  And how inviting is that REFRESH wall?  That is the entrance to the dressing rooms where there is a table with spa water to sip and enjoy while trying on items. 

Chelsea Collective was so generous and let me build a bag of a few items from the store.  I now have a new Nike gym bag along with a mat towel from Calia and a headband from Calia, Evian face mist and a Chelsea Collective Nike towel- perfect for teaching spin! 

If you go to the Grand Opening this weekend, let me know what you think!  Highlights will include: in-store styling demonstrations, expert advice, complimentary services & refreshments. First 25 guests receive a special gift!  Don't walk, RUN...I know you are fast!
