Athleta sells unique, travel-friendly, cute clothing for running, outdoors, and yoga for active women. My friend Tara, who’s a runner, turned me on to the brand, which started as a catalog company in Petaluma ten years ago and is now owned by Gap, Inc. Since they opened their flagship store on Fillmore 2 months ago now, I’ve been working part-time for them in sales.
The brand philosophy empowering women (visit the Chi blog), the beautiful images of fitness models who actually have a yoga practice, as well as the high quality fabric clothing all lured me in to join the team. Sure enough, our customers range from teachers who travel throughout the world every summer, to ones who race cars for a living in the Sahara Desert! Recently I even met one of my writer-artist mentors, SARK, before she flew off on a book tour, that was such a treat! Today we had a TRX demo from 4-7, much more effective than weights in building muscle and core strength using straps and one’s own body weight. We have organized runs to Chrissy Field on Saturday mornings departing the store at 9 and restorative yoga classes benefiting Yoga Bear to help people with cancer starting Sunday mornings now too.
Starting Thursday you can save up to 30% off when you visit either the site or store itself, as well as other Gap-owned stores using my employee Give and Get code! This discount is good from March 17 to the 20th. Your spending benefits my organization of choice: World Wildlife Foundation. Five percent of what you spend will go to save tigers and other environmental causes when you use code TYJB84R963DH.

It’s hard to find cute, quality workout clothes, and Athleta changes styles frequently offering everything from comfy, super soft dresses, sports bras, a huge range of yoga pants, and awesome tankinis and bikinis all in high quality, wicking, fast-drying fabrics. Oh, and the customer service rocks: free shipping on anything over $50 with free returns any time.
Here are some of my recommended items:
Scamper Tee – The softest T shirt you’ll ever have
Striped Tank - Teelicious fabric in a funky design that’s great for hooping, yoga, everyday, summer or winter with layers. The black and blue is my favorite.
Hawi Dress - Great over leggings or on its own and multi-seasonal. Hoodie and uneven hem give it a fun style.![]()
Bettona Jeggings – Slim and so versatile for everyday, hiking, or biking.
Tempo Bra – Removable pads, racerback, and seamless for a really comfortable fit that can stand alone at the gym or be worn under layers for everyday
Chaturanga Yoga Tight – Awesome tights using Athleta’s signature Pilayo fabric to both compress and let your skin breathe at the same time.
Miniskirt – I hadn’t considered this one until I saw it on my co-worker, who teaches Bikram and deserves to show off her legs. Very cute and versatile.
Vital Swim short - For when you’re hanging out in the water and want some coverage.
Hopkington Top - Sun protection in a shirt for active days in the sun
Hopefully this discount gets you something you love. And if you have a favorite product or you stop by, please let me know!
