You’ll Flip Over the Hottest New Workout Gear Just For Marvel Fangirls

As a fitness fanatic and self-proclaimed fangirl, I was pretty excited to test out the new line of workout gear from Marvel and Her Universe. The "Be a Hero" line provides comfort and also a cool, edgy style with thematic-inspired designs from Captain America to Iron Man. In my opinion, in an area where many of us dedicate a few good hours a day, there is not enough stylish, active gear on the market beyond the select pieces from Under Armour and Adidas. After weeks of testing during indoor and outdoor runs and circuit training from Colorado to Orlando, I can attest it is true — Marvel's new line of workout gear can survive a grueling, hardcore routine while also making a mega fashion statement.

Her Universe has changed the game for fangirls and has quickly risen to become a fashion-industry leader, offering unique looks from top franchises including Star Wars, Marvel, and Dr. Who. Founder and designer Ashley Eckstein is known for her designs that range from bold integration of iconic logos to fashionably subtle pieces that are more of an Easter egg, but this is her first foray in to activewear.

It definitely takes the right kinds of geeks to properly execute an activewear line that fangirls will respect both from a fashion point of view and functionality. Eckstein certainly has the credits to do it, serving as CEO of Her Universe by day and the voice of Ashoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars by night. For the "Be a Hero" performance videos, Eckstein teamed up with Marvel and Heidi Moneymaker, a stunt double that you might recongize as Marvel's Black Widow. She also helped create some of those iconic Black Widow fight scenes.

In addition to standard sizes, the collection is available for junior sizes XS-XL and plus sizes 1X-3X exclusively to Kohl's. Her Universe can be found at retailers like Hot Topic, Disney Parks and Store. The new activewear line has strappy backs, trendy geometrics ,and flattering color palettes that make these workout clothes fun, yet also chic and modern. And I have a confession: when I wear them I feel a little more badass.

Check out photos of the products ahead, as well as an exclusive workout video with Eckstein and Moneymaker. And trust me — the Force is definitely with you when you gear up in Her Universe.
