Last month, we had the pleasure of visiting the One Tooth activewear clothing store at BayShore Mall.
What’s One Tooth? What does that name mean? What kind of clothing do they sell? When did the store open? Where is it?
Slow down, I’ll tell you ALL about it. 
What is One Tooth?
One Tooth is an activewear clothing store. Think quality yoga and running gear, but customizable. I found out ALL of their pants will be tailored to your needs right there in the store. Also, anything you see in the store can be ordered in your selection of colors and patterns. This is a great idea for teams or people who like to have something really unique in their running wardrobe. Many of their customers have made special combinations with patterns and colors to fit their own personalities.
One Tooth started as a couple stores in British Columbia, including one on the popular shopping strip “Robson Street” in downtown Vancouver. In only a fast few years One Tooth grew into stores all across North America. Products include pants, capris, jackets, tops, headbands, hoodies and shorts in plenty of bright colors and styles.
Where is it?
The new Bayshore location is across from the Apple Store in the Bayshore Town Centre. This is their first US store! They do lots of events and classes right inside the store. To keep up with what’s going on, you can Like their Milwaukee store on Facebook here - http://www.facebook.com/OneToothBayshore
What does the name mean?
The term One Tooth means Good Faith & Good Fortune. In an ancient tribe near the company founder’s home town went an old story that if you told a lie you’d lose one tooth. Being that he wanted to build an ethical business he named it One Tooth as a reminder of this philosophy of goodwill.
Now, we have a question for YOU, and a chance to win one of 7 prizes:

What does an active lifestyle mean to you?
Having an active lifestyle means always looking to better yourself – physically, emotionally, mentally. You don’t have to run 50 miles per week or be a body builder, but you’re looking for evey opportunity to better yourself. Taking a walk on your lunch hour instead of sitting at your desk, taking your dog to the dog park, going for a hike, ice skating, etc…
Motivation, dedication and determination to be happy, healthy and fit. Keeping up with an active lifestyle isn’t always easy, but doing the work even when you don’t necessarily want to can define who you are!
Commitment, smart use of resources, a support system, and sweat! Eat healthy and get moving! Not only does an active lifestyle mean that you look good, but you feel good too!
It means breaking a sweat! Going for a run, yoga, or spin class…heck sometimes it’s just taking the stairs instead of the elevator!
An active lifestyle to me means one thing: Balance. Finding time to be active, including activity into your daily life and maintaining a balance while doing it is the utmost in an active lifestyle to me!
An active lifestyle means the ability to do the things I want (running, martial arts, hiking, skiing, spending time with my family, etc) both now and in the future. An active lifestyle to me, means getting the most out of life and living with no regrets. There are many people that regret sitting at home and doing nothing, but few that regret going out and do something active.
I’m excited to see Fit Milwaukee feature a shop that I’m not sure many people know about. I went over the weekend and was once again impressed by the selection of fitness gear.
To me, living an active lifestyle means building confidence and having more energy. By being active, I’ve been able to get to know the community better and meet new people, all while setting and meeting goals I never thought possible.
To me, an active lifestyle involves pushing yourself every day and doing what you can to counter the sedentary lifestyle that has
become. the norm. And to have fun while doing so!
What does an active lifestyle mean to me?
It means being able to live and enjoy my life to the fullest, whether that be playing outside with my daughter on the playground, challenging myself to a distance race on a trail or on the road, trying a new activity like rollerblading or paddling, or even just having the time to sit down and enjoy the sights from the side of the road and encouraging others to follow their dreams. Active, to me, just means participating in life. For some people that’s walking or participating in yoga or running or cross-country skiing; but to each person who’s active, it means being alive.
To me it means finding ways to move/nurture the body and to be engaged and mindful in healthy and fun practices. To me it also means finding ways to support the groups in communities who focus on health, nutrition, exercise, fun, confidence, motivation, etc.
An active lifestyle is one that allows me to enjoy every aspect of my day. An active life is the love of life – it’s the time with friends and family, being able to focus at work, and always being able to set and achieve goals!
What does an active lifestyle mean to you?
To me an active lifestyle is a balance of healthy eating, exercise, and mental wellness. I stay active by eating well to provide my body the energy to remain active. I stay active by running, weight lifting, and yoga. And in turn I have mental well being and a positive attitude.
to me, an active lifestyle means i’m the strongest and best version of myself! putting in the right fuel and having a balanced workout schedule will hopefully keep me enjoying life for a very long time.
Having an active lifestyle is something one must strive to achieve each and everyday. It’s full circle from what one eats, to how they balance their life allowing time for working out, and also being involved in other areas of life. When we go on double-dates we always try to have it be something active followed by a meal somewhere; so tennis then dinner, or skiing and lunch on the hill, snowshoeing and s’mores later that evening. We like to try and enjoy all aspects of life, not just sit and watch it pass us by!
An active lifestyle is being able to get out of the house and enjoy life to the fullest. Active lifestyle allows me to spend time in nature calming down my spirit when the rest of the world is in chaos.
An active lifestyle is being able to run the Rock and Roll half marathon next to my husband next summer. In training now!
Active to me means being healthy enough to do the things I want to do without limitations.
Going out and doing things; that includes running for me!
Great Giveaway! To me an active lifestyle means making an effort to get yourself moving a little bit every day weather its for 15 minutes or an hour. It can mean taking the steps vs the elevator, jumping jacks during the commericals, or walking to get lunch. Everything counts and small steps = big results!
Balance, health and fulfillment!
An active lifestyle means feeling younger longer.
I agree with Karin that an active lifestyle is indeed balance, and should never feel as if we are working hard to achieve it.
What does an active lifestyle mean to you?
Participating in nature and physical action instead of watching.
oooh saw the One Tooth products at Yoga Ward’s studio – VERY nice quality stuff. Thanks for the backstory on it, Anne, I was wondering!
To me, living an active lifestyle means keeping my body strong and flexible so I have more energy and can keep up with my son (or at least try to), and feel so much better physically, mentally and spiritually.

What does an active lifestyle mean to you?
It means LIFE. 2 years ago, my lab results showed that at 31 years old I had high cholesterol and triglycerides. I couldn’t believe it. I made a commitment to life that day! I hired a trainer, I lost 20 LBS, I finished a 5k and an 8k for the first time (awesome mud runs). I repeated my labs in December of this year and my doctor was shocked that I no longer had high cholesterol and triglycerides. She said, “whatever you are doing, keep it up”!!! I have changed my diet to involve a more Paleo diet, continued my fitness, signed up for 3 more runs this Summer and continue on LIFE! I always tell people we only get ONE LIFE. We have to embrace it!!!! So, an active lifestyle to me means LIFE. An ACTIVE LIFE!!!
I LOVE One Tooth! They sell these grippy, toeless yoga socks that I pretty much cannot live without. I also have one of their jackets in a bright yellow – just looking at it makes me happy, it is such a sunny color.
What does an active lifestyle mean to you? There’s a quote on the wall at the Y in Waukesha that really speaks to me on this. “Motivation gets you started…habit keeps you going.” An active lifestyle, to me, is habit. Being is so ingrained in my life now that if I was not active, I wouldn’t be living. It took a lot of motivation to get started, but now that I’m here I can’t see being anywhere else.
To me an active lifestyle means taking care of myself. Taking time to eat right, get enough sleep and be physically active. Finding a balance.
What does an active lifestyle mean to you?
To me an active lifestyle means making active choices–instead of sitting on the couch for a movie date night we signed up for the Great Milwaukee Race. Instead of having a typical girls day we are doing the LoziLu 5k. An active lifestyle is a choice that I make everyday when I go to the gym and continue on my C25K journey.
Active lifestyle means eating healthy, getting out and doing things with my kids, helping them learn about good choices, encouraging their sport interests and setting an example by exercising myself.
An active style means living a lifestyle that allows you to participate in certain activities without any preparation, keeping yourself in good enough mental/physical shape to jump at wonderful active opportunities. “Want to run this 5k with me next weekend?” “Sure that sounds great!”
