Today's ALC (AikA's Love Closet) is a bit of different than usual, brining you more of the "healthy & athletic" side of fashion!
If you have followed me on my Insta (If you haven't, please follow me!), you probably know that I've been teaming up with David Barton Gym for the #LookBetterNaked challenge!
Back in June, I was super thrilled for the start of summer. I had been working very hard as a flag performer for Seafair, the biggest and most exiting summer festivals in Seattle. I always wanted to work out to get into better shape because I wasn't very satisfied with how I looked at the time, especially around my belly and arms. Nonetheless, because there were so many crazy things going on in my life, I never made going to a gym or even workout at home a priority. For the parade at Seafair I had to march nearly 2 miles continuously, so I seriously needed to build some muscles to be ready for that!
So I was very excited for this great offer/opportunity/challenge that David Barton Gym gave me! It was such a P E R F E C T time!
With my surprise (Like a BIG surprise!), they are not a gym AT ALL! Firstly, they are located in the center of high-end fashion brand shops, which makes me feel very luxurious every time I go to "workout!" Where in the world does a gym make you feel that way? Then, right after you step into the gym, the breathtaking futuristically architectural entrance welcomes you with upbeat DJ music, and their atmosphere really reminds me of a fancy club! (Yes, I used to love going out every Friday and Saturday!) Every single place you go, including the shower rooms and changing room, you might forget that you are actually at the gym for workout!!
On my first day, outward of the gym and me in it :)
DBG entrance, amazing isn't it?
WOW inside lounge, loving the long sofa!
Thanks to what David Barton Gym offers, I've totally enjoyed for the last three months of my workout there. I wish I could have gone more often (because I live far away from the gym. Three hour round-way bus commuting is not so adequate to go to a gym...) and could have more time to utilize all the services I could have taken advantage of, such as group sessions, yoga and pilates classes, and even a steaming room!
But, here are some photos I snapped during my gym time at DBG!
Fun boxing!!
With an 'Uhhh gimme a break' silly face... :p
But first, let me take a selfie :)
And... you can't forget workout #OOTDs!!
After 3 months at David Barton Gym, I can totally admit that I have successfully transformed my body to the point that I envisioned it. To commemorate this success, I decided to photoshoot in TRIANGL underwear and in an outfit that highlights my abs!
To be honest with you, I have actually never embraced my body as much as I do right now. I think I mentioned several times before that I always felt inferior or incomplete due to having a long torso and short legs. I still have trouble completely accepting them, however, throughout the workout experience with David Barton Gym, I finally learned how I can make myself happier with the areas I don't like. You can definitely built self-assurance if you work hard and try to strongly believe that you can achieve to do that, no matter what. Clear picturing that 'you can do it' is the key to success, and don't forget to give yourself a round of applause when you accomplish! The confidence and inner happiness is all in 'YOU', and putting in great effort always pays off at the end, no matter how long it will take...
I really want to say thank you to the team at David Barton Gym for this fun and amazing adventure! If you happen to be looking for a gym or are getting tired of the gym you are currently going and want a new place, David Barton Gym should be at the top of your list of places to check out!!Definitely I will miss going to DBG!
Hopefully your have an amazing weekend ♥
