Activewear should be functional. Seems like a given, right? We sure think so. And yet as the line between fitness and fashion are becoming more and more blurry, sometimes the more street-stylish pieces don’t quite hold up when we break a sweat.

Tyler Haney, founder of Outdoor Voices, feels the same way. At just 26, Tyler’s moving the needle on the fitnesswear revolution by creating apparel meant for recreation. Her relaxed vibe embodies OV’s philosophy that you can love being active without being defined by it. In an industry that can sometimes feel like the cool-kids’ club, Tyler’s approach to fitness as an aspect of your life and not your entire life is more than refreshing. Her philosophy? Doing Things is better than Not Doing Things. Amen to that.

Outdoor Voices might have an indie vibe to it, but don’t be fooled – Tyler’s onto something big and giving those big-name brands a run for their money. Take a peek at what this fit-minded entrepreneur keeps in her gym bag, what keeps her inspired, and the personal fitness tip that oh-so-perfectly encompasses everything we love about working out and living well:
