The philosophy behind Athleta fitness wear is empowering women and embracing women of all ages, shapes, and sizes, according to Bristol’s Gina Prentiss, the community manager of the Westfarms store. And today’s fitness wear, as created by Athleta, is no longer about frumpy sweatsuits or old t-shirts and shorts. Athleta features stylish, but functional gear– perfect for when you’re in the gym, going for a jog, or hitting the tennis courts. Athleta also offers a clientele program where the store will keep your sizes on record and you can arrange a private fitting session with a stylist at the store when you’re ready to go shopping again. Here, Prentiss pulled a variety of looks for former Southington residents Logan West and Sydney West. Both have proven their fitness skills in statewide and national pageants. Logan had been Miss Teen USA. And Sydney had been Miss Connecticut Teen USA. For more information about Athleta and the clientele program, go to Athleta.com.
