Once the stuff of ’80s Jazzercise videos, the workout bodysuit is making a comeback with a modern twist. Think muted colours (neon hues are best left to Olivia Newton-John and Jane Fonda) and comfortable, sweat-wicking fabrics. We asked Connie Cornelius, owner of personal training studio Area Fitness in Toronto, to put the one-and-done style to the test. “It’s great for yoga, Pilates or anything with inversions,” she tells us. “I just think about my movements, not my clothes. I know that I’m covered up and everything is secure—it frees me up mentally to focus on the class.” Sign us up!
