A new year calls for new gear.
And whether your 2026 goals entail crushing new workouts or simply stocking up on cute athleisure, Page Six’s shopping editors are here to help you find the best of the best.
Below, our staffers spill their favorite wellness and fitness finds, from Taylor Swift-approved leggings to cute socks for stepping outside of your comfort zone.
“I prefer my leggings with lighter compression; if putting them on feels like squeezing myself into a sausage casing, they’ll just gather dust in a drawer. That’s precisely why I’m such a fan of Booty by Brabrants’ signature textured leggings; they come in just two sizes (one for sizes XS-L, and a second for sizes L-3XL), and are designed to stretch up and down to fit. They’re incredibly comfortable, the croc-effect texture is a compliment magnet and the ultra-high waistband offers the perfect amount of coverage.” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“I know it’s a simple thing, but these massage balls from Jennifer Aniston-approved Pvolve work so well in alleviating shoulder kinks and sore muscles. You can actually give yourself a decent massage with them. I’ve even gifted a few sets to friends who just had to have them after trying mine.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“An unbeatable shoe. It’s so comfortable to run on all terrain. I’ve done multiple races in them and my feet never hurt or have blisters after. They are the best for a reason!” — Tori Schneebaum, Photo Director
“I am a big runner, but my feet aren’t. I have gotten blisters my whole life with any combination of shoes, socks and insoles I’ve tried. I’ve found these socks to be the most helpful piece of apparel to fight against it, and I recommend them to anyone who is prone to blisters. They’re the worst!” — Lindsey Kupfer, Deputy Editor
“To be clear, wearing a bra sucks — especially when you’re working out. That said, true to its name, this one truly delivers cloud-like comfort and is pretty much the only sports bra I’ll wear now. It’s so soft, smooth and comfy (without sacrificing support) that I can sleep in it — and have, on many overnight flights in recent years!” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“I have a full-blown obsession with Beyond Yoga. This is by far the most flattering workout set I’ve ever worn — it’s thick but breathable and truly snatches you in.” — Brooke Matalon, Social Media Manager
“Alo’s layers are unbeatable. I get so many compliments on this puffer. Pro tip: It can even be scrunched down to the size of a (large) purse, perfect for on-the-go days or gym trips.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Shopping Editor
“I never spent this much on sneakers before, but since buying them, I can’t imagine wearing any other pair. They have excellent impact cushioning, but without being so bouncy that they’re unstable for weight lifting. They last far longer than less pricey sneakers I’ve purchased, and look cute enough that I don’t feel like I’m wearing trainers when I throw them on with jeans. Since switching to this pair, my knees no longer get sore after long cardio sessions, and even trail jogs feel effortless.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“I’ve had this yoga mat for six years now, and you would never know by looking at it. I do hot yoga and hate putting on a towel to cover the mat, but this one is so moisture-wicking that I can do a full class without a yoga towel — and won’t be slipping and sliding all over the place!” — Brooke Matalon, Social Media Manager
“Power walking is my exercise of choice; I try to log around 10,000 steps per day (sometimes more on weekends), which means I go through sneakers pretty fast. Thanks to their thick, pillowy soles, Hokas tend to last longer than most of the other walking shoes I’ve tried — and they’re so comfortable and cushioned, it truly feels like you’re walking on clouds.” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“I’m a smoothie girl who loves the convenience and nutritional profile of a shake. I have a few go-to plant-based favorites, but recently got hooked on Ka’Chava’s complete version. It’s made without stevia (I’m not a fan of that sweetener), yet it’s enriched with vitamins, probiotics, digestive enzymes and more healthy extras, which means I can skip taking supplements while getting a well-rounded light meal. It doesn’t give me any digestive issues, and tastes really good, even if I use water and just some frozen fruit! And since I’m ramping up my 2026 fitness goals, it’s a pantry staple.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“These are the perfect hot girl walking shoes. They are incredibly light and breathable but also keep you stable and cushioned. I’m not a runner, but these have never let me down on a long walk or a 12-3-30 treadmill sesh!” — Brooke Matalon, Social Media Manager
“I’m almost always schlepping multiple bags in the morning, and this new puffer tote from Old Navy has become one of my go-tos. It’s not unwieldy, but still big enough to store even my knee-high boots and bulky sweaters after winter workouts. Plus, it’s cute!” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Shopping Editor
“I started running this past year, but running in cold NYC can be BRUTAL. Thankfully I found this jacket from Roots … I am obsessed! It’s warm, breathable and perfect for early-morning runs in Central Park.” — Tori Schneebaum, Photo Director
“Athleta’s leggings aren’t just buttery soft, they also the perfect amount of support and flattering lift. The perfect combo!” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Shopping Editor
“I love using 5-pound weights for some light sculpting. It’s amazing how wobbly your arms can feel while trying to tone up your triceps, or as we call them in Australia, tuck shop lady arms.” — Nicki Gostin, Sr. Reporter
“I have been buying every version of this sports bra for years because it’s so comfortable and supportive. I wear them every single day and they’re good for working out and for when you’re out and about.” — Lindsey Kupfer, Deputy Editor
“Wellness also includes your mental health, and I promise you that nothing is better for anxiety and gloom than knitting. There are tons of studies on how knitting is soothing, and the best part is, it can be done while you watch ‘Mad Men’ or ‘Heated Rivalry’ for the 10th time.” — Nicki Gostin, Sr. Reporter
“These socks single-handedly made me want to try Pilates. They’re so cute, and a new workout item is the perfect motivation to actually get out and do it. Trying Pilates for the first time was scary but feeling cute and prepared made it easier to step out of my comfort zone!” — Jacquelyn Kozak, Sr. Photo Editor
