A fitness trainer and health coach, Celine Encarnacion is a professional fitness motivator and certified health instructor. She's a regular at Plana Forma and at Ultra Lagree. In terms of workout clothes, she's often drawn to three things: function, form/fashion, and versatility. "Fitness wear is my form of a power suit because I’m in the wellness and fitness space," she says. One of her favourites is the "Personal Best Leggings" from Our Recess. 

She also loves the Wild Thing Bra from Machita Activewear and bodysuits from Ema Leisure. "[I like] the Lykka, Emma, and La Nikar syles in particular," she adds. 

You'll also find Celine in plenty of bright tops and legging sets from Groove Activewear (they have colours in yellow, red, and blue!). Lastly, her favourite lift shorts from Ayvanna Athleisure are a staple in her closet, and one thing she never regrets buying more of. "I bought them all for sheer love of the fit, the feel, and the #sweatwithcel absorption quality," she jokes.
