Graced By Grit

Move over Lululemon… Graced by Grit, aka GBG, makes some of the best women’s workout wear I’ve ever owned! Not only is it super functional and well-​made, but it’s also cute and fairly priced. I also love the story behind GBG — it is owned and operated by two women in our local community who have overcome hardships in their lives and remained gritty through it all! A lot of their gear is designed to be worn on land and in the sea, so it’s perfect for outdoor sports in San Diego like surfing, paddle-​boarding, and triathlons! I also use my GBG gear for land-​based workouts at the gym, hiking, or in yoga, since it is comfortable, breathable, and makes me look like I’m in better shape than I actually am ;) What more could you ask for?! I love shopping local and would recommend GBG to any active women or gifts for the women in your life… definitely worth checking out!

I have a pair of GBG running tights that are absolutely amazing. I would not have dreamed of running my half marathon this weekend in anything else. For one thing, the material is the perfect thickness and stretchiness to stay put and prevent chaffing. Also, the two pockets are just the right size and shape. I can keep my phone in the front and it doesn’t bounce around at all, and my fuel of choice goes in the back pocket which is easy to access and out of the way. AND, not that this really matters, but hey, it doesn’t hurt, my boyfriend is quite fond of them as well. Basically, these tights hit all the marks of comfort, performance and style, THANKS GBG!!!

My wife and I have been in here several times and they are a great group of dedicated professionals… we love Caitlin, keep up the good work and again welcome to Solana Beach… She looks great after every visit.

Graced By Grit is my new favorite local shop for activewear! I’ve been to their store a few times now, and every time has been such a fun experience. The ladies who work here are super friendly, sweet, and helpful! They always go out of their way to welcome and get to know their customers, and they know the products very well. I love that they all wear GBG gear while they’re working. It just shows how comfy these clothes are! Graced By Grit also hosts many FREE workout events at their store — everything from HIIT, yoga, and even hula dancing. Check out their website for the schedule! I’ve been here for a few of their workouts and we really got gritty! :)
In terms of the apparel — you’ll love it! It is obvious that their clothes are made by active women for active women. The materials are high quality — and everything is SPF 50! I recently got the Delicious Top and the Land & Sea Knicker. They’re both fabulous! They fit well, they’re comfortable and stylish, and the knickers have a built in pocket that fits my iPhone 5. They are definitely my go-​to workout pieces and I’m planning to buy more GBG clothes soon.

Graced By Grit is an amazing company and their apparel is great! They support the community, which is very important for me, so that’s why I like to shop there. I was just there a few days ago and I bought a skirt. I was able to try on a few other items I liked, and I’ll be going back for some shorts! I’m so glad I get to rock these workout clothes because they fit great, the material is excellent, and the price is worth it!

Don’t miss this great new women’s athletic apparel boutique in Solana Beach. I visited for the first time recently, and it is beautiful with lots of bright colored athletic clothing. Everything is land and sea friendly. The employees and owner are very friendly. Plus, it’s a locally owned business and the apparel is manufactured locally as well.

For someone who LIVES for sweaty, active, adventures. This store is the IT place and the gear is exactly what all my sweaty soul sisters need. Great prices, bright colors, fab logo, quality gear made with thought for what we need to be active! Also. I LOVE supporting local small businesses that start here! I have 4 pieces already, logo crops, bootie shorts, delicious tank and trucker hat and love them all. #sweatyourstory

Refreshing new workout gear just arrived in Solana Beach and its worth the drive! Colors are vibrant, fabrics are soft, styles are flattering, the store is gorgeous and the service is a 10! I went on opening day and I loved seeing a group of passionate, creative and dedicated women behind the product. I recommend the «Land & Sea Logo Knicker.» The compression fit, fun small pattern (which I think makes me look skinnier), non see-​through material and hidden pocket is what sold me. Thank you Graced by Grit for replacing Lululemon for me.

Beautiful boutique store with the best workout gear! I recommend the Everything Legging and Kate Tank. I literally wear only those pieces to every workout.

«Everything legging“is just that. Everything. These will be my go to travel sidekicks from now on! I am a short curvy gal who runs (think athletic hobbit) and these fit well, don’t roll down as bad as some, and are soft with great pockets. You know how hobbits like to stash little things. I also have the «delicious tank“and will be testing it out soon in ‘not quite as hot as Mordor’ weather in Europe.

Love my new Graced by grit activewear! I love that it has SPF and is quick drying! Brought the long sleeve hoodie to Mexico to keep the sun off! Worked like a charm! Material is thin so very comfortable. I also love that it’s made locally for women by women! Check them out! Staff super nice!

I stumbled upon this store when I went to Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach a few weekends ago. What a happy accident! The staff was very friendly and welcoming and explained their philosophy and described the various items in their line. I was looking for a rash guard for a white water rafting trip and Carly helped me find a beautiful hoody and a zip up top that I could wear. I couldn’t decide which one to get so I ended up buying both.
I liked the store so much that I brought a few girlfriends there after a run and we indulged in some post-​run shopping. Again the staff was super helpful and 2 of us bought something and another friend vowed to return once they got more of the rash guard hoodies in stock. This time I bought a bra and a racerback tank and I can’t wait to wear them.
I am already plotting my return so I can buy another tank and a pair of the booty shorts for running.
The quality is great and the colors are vibrant. I am getting a bit tired of the obsession with a certain workout brand and I love discovering new lines of athletic clothing. In fact, my husband always makes fun of me when I wear the certain workout brand and says that I am dressed like all the soccer moms in North County. I also love the fact that it is local and women-​owned.

Soooooo in love with my new Graced by Grit workout wear!!!
I stumbled into this new shop in Solana Beach recently and immediately fell in love with their bright colors and awesome workout wear!!! When I was told the line is SPF 50 and «Ocean ready» because it’s made with quick dry fabrics… how could I say no??? I bought two shorts and two tops and vowed to bring them back if they were either see through or not what they promised. Needless to say, I still own these items, and I’m trying to figure out a way to wear them everyday!!! My 1^st fitness foray took my gritty gear into 110 degree hot yoga. not see through in any way, super comfy, and yes after a soaking wet sweat session the gear did in fact day quickly. The next day I took my gritty gear for a run and then into the gym. Soaked to the bone, and all good. At this point I’m washing my stuff out in the sink to re wear day after day until I find my way back to SB!!!
Obviously I don’t want a day to pass without getting gritty!!!
Thx ladies! You ROCK!

Graced by Grit provides top of the line workout gear and I can feel the quality in each item.
I had noticed a steady decline in materials at another fitness apparel line (we all know who I’m talking about) and set out to find something different. I’m so happy I was introduced to this line and feel better knowing I’m supporting a local business with people who appreciate each customer that walks through their doors.
You’ll be treated like family which is very rare now days.
I was able to stop by the grand opening last week which was crazy packed! Even though there were tons of people they still saw me come in and I was greeted by Chevigny, who was super sweet and offered me a drink while giving me a tour of the beautiful new storefront location. I saw the adorable crops designed by Jessica… They sold out but maybe I’ll be lucky enough to snag a pair next time I stop in:) I can’t wait to see what else she creates!
I highly recommend this business and you’ll be happy you stopped by!

LOVE Graced by Grit! It’s a great updated change from the other saturated workout line in North county. The quality is top of the line. I purchased my first pants and top two years ago when they first came out and they are still in new condition! The store is in a great location, the employees are a great help picking out a cute outfit. I also love supporting a local women owned business.
