Tone It Up’s Karena & Katrina Collaborate with Bandier

Fitness experts and co-founders of Tone It Up—the health lifestyle brand that reaches over 5 million women worldwide—Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott are launching their second activewear collection, today! We chatted with the pals to get the scoop the six-piece capsule collection, which will be sold exclusively online at Bandier and Tone It Up. 

Karena and Katrina, what’s new?
Karena: So much is new! We’re on a flight now heading to New York City for the launch of our new fitness apparel line with Bandier.

Tell us about the collab.
Katrina: The pieces we designed are so great because you can mix and match to have even more styles. We included details that we personally love, like mesh and a high waistline. My favorite is the reversible capris!
Karena: The design inspiration of the fabric came from the ocean and the California beach lifestyle.

What’s it like designing together?
Katrina: We both have different fashion styles and it’s fun to combine them. A woman should feel good in her fitness apparel, and that was really important to us when we were designing.
Karena: Quality and comfort were important. We tested the fabrics, from running through the streets of NYC to hitting a hot barre class.

You both recently covered Turks & Caicos Magazine.
Katrina: We went to the islands to shoot our upcoming Bikini Series fitness challenge workouts and to film another special project. The white sand and turquoise water was the perfect setting!
Karena: Kat and I visited Turks & Caicos about six years ago. It was nice to be back and film at some of our favorite spots like Grace Bay and The Conch Shack.
