If anyone knows how to successfully merge fitness with fashion, it’s former magazine editor Christine Bibbo Herr, who spent the last decade working for glossies such as Health, Real Simple and Good Housekeeping. In February 2012, she launched NYC Pretty (nycpretty.com), a personal-style blog with a sporty twist: Once a week, she showcases stylish athletic duds in her “Workout Wednesday” posts. “I wanted to have a fitness aspect [to the site] because that’s so much a part of my life,” explains the avid runner, surfer and snowboarder. “If I had my way, I’d always be walking around in gear because I’m such an on-the-go person.” That doesn’t mean she sacrifices style for comfort, however. “When you wear a cute outfit, it gets you more motivated to get dressed and go to the gym,” she notes. “And now [brands] are making pieces that you’d actually incorporate into your normal outfits.” To test her theory, we had Bibbo Herr accompany us to the Central Park Reservoir, David Barton Gym (davidbartongym.com) and SoulCycle (soulcycle.com) on the Upper East Side in search of well-attired fitness fiends.

Christine Bibbo Herr, the fitness-fashion blogger behind NYC Pretty, is no stranger to stylish workout gear. We had her guest-edit Time Out New York’s street-fashion column, scouring Central Park Reservoir, David Barton Gym and SoulCycle on the Upper East Side for well-dressed gymgoers. Many of the fitness fiends we encountered sported neon sneakers from Nike and Adidas, moisture-wicking clothing from Lululemon and Lolë, and a surprising amount of jewelry.
