Lisa Binderow, a yoga and fitness instructor, was inspired to create the first pair of pipes on a chilly morning walking to the studio. Her legs were cold in her cropped pants, and she thought others might have the same problem. She designed her first pair of pipes and wore them to the studio, where her students and fellow instructors wanted to know where they could get a pair. Before she knew it, a business was born.
Nicepipes keep your legs warm where your workout pants don’t, are the ultimate layering piece, offer UV 50 + protection, are soft to the touch and sweat wicking (keeping you cool and dry), offer a 4-way stretch for personalized fit, and provide mild compression which enhances performance and aids recovery.
Lisa Binderow, NYC wellness enthusiast, fitness & yoga instructor and mom-to-be, premiered her company nicepipes, on Shark Tank. It’s the first line of performance fabric leg and arm warmers for fitness fanatics everywhere.
The idea behind it? Teaching yoga & running around the city in cold weather required seriously warm layers; her cropped yoga pants left her shins bare and the wool or acrylic legwarmers of the past just weren’t up to the task. Lisa thought that if she had this problem, others must too and wanted to find a solution. So, she designed nicepipes – leg & arm warmers made from the same, awesome, sweat-wicking fabric as yoga pants so that she could have the option of wearing them before, during, and after class. As soon as she wore her pipes around the studios her students and fellow instructors wanted their own pair of pipes…and so a business was born.
An activewear brand made in the USA, nicepipes are made from a sweat-wicking fabric, that offers compression, no slippage, and 50+ UV protection. Born from a personal need, but one shared by a number of yogis and athletes alike, nicepipes are the first performance enhancing option of leg and arm warmers that are designed for the fit and fashionable.
Prior to becoming a full-time entrepreneur as the CEO of nicepipes, Lisa was an employee of YogaWorks, a national yoga studio chain, as a Teacher Director for seven years. Through nicepipes, Lisahas already sold more than 5,000 pipes and shows no signs of stopping.
