Belle & Bell is the girls-meets-iron brand you've been waiting for. Sassy t-shirts with slogans like "I lift a latte" and "love thigh-self" go perfectly with their heart-shape kettlebell logo. Who says all lifting brands need to be dude-friendly? We love that this one is all about the #girlpower.

Lifting brand Caffeine and Kilos isn't just about heavy weights and clothes that match. It's about the coffee that fuels the lifts too. With edgy apparel and a coffee named "PR Blend," they're all about getting you where you want to be in the weight room. And when one of their sponsored athletes is Olympian Morghan King (pictured), you can't help but want to give their coffee and crop tops a try.

Dedfit is actually short for "Dedicated Fitness," and represents growing to your personal full potential by staying dedicated to fitness. One of the best ways to do that might just be investing in super-cute workout clothes with motivational sayings to match—like Dedfit's "Leave Me Alone" series (which will ensure that no one—especially mansplainers—gets in the way of your workout).

Fleo Shorts is the USA-made shorts company that actually understands what it's like to work out in spandex booty shorts—and is a fave of lifters on social media and IRL. Their shorts stretch in four different ways and come in crazy colors and patterns to fit your every whim. Plus, they're made for strong, curvy, slender athletes of all shapes and sizes: "We believe that when you free your skin and let your thighs out, you have the power to achieve more. We're here to do work, chase dreams, and celebrate cake! Uninhibited." Can we get an amen?
