Manduka Pro Travel Yoga Mat
"When I travel, I love to check out yoga classes in new places, but using the used rented mats totally skeeves me out — as a yoga instructor I've seen far too much that I'd rather practice on the bare floor than down dog on a used mat! My solution is this Manduka Pro Travel Yoga Mat ($68). It's lightweight, foldable, and offers the tacky grip I love from my Manduka Pro mat. I'll either use it on its own or lay it on top of a borrowed studio mat for extra cushioning. — Jenny Sugar, staff writer, Fitness
Free People Hit the Slopes Jacket
"Now that the temperature has begun to drop, my main priority is staying cosy and warm. That's where the Free People Hit the Slopes ($148) jacket comes in. It's cosy and warm and perfect for days when it's not too cold or when I'm just lounging around inside my apartment." — Tamara Pridgett, assistant editor, Fitness
Port and Polish Classic Black Pill Box
"I take a cocktail of medication to help manage my bipolar 2 and PCOS. This typically means an array of pill bottles that clutter up my bedside table and countertop (I have to take my bipolar meds with food so they are usually in my kitchen). Enter this Port and Polish Classic Black Pill Box ($20). It is a sleek, compact design that fits nicely on my counter or in my bag when I travel. Each day has a big enough slot to fit all my pills (and then some if I want to throw in some vitamins too). I take time on Sunday night to load up my pills for the week, which helps me keep track if I've taken my pills already for that day. That way, my prescription pill bottles can stay safely in my medicine cabinet." — Christina Stiehl, editor, Fitness
lululemon x Roskanda capsule collection
"The lululemon x Roksanda capsule collection is basically my Fall/Winter fashion vision board come to life. The striking colorblocking, the play on proportions, the layers on layers on layers . . . Designer Roksanda Ilinčić might be best known for designing modern, feminine dresses beloved by the likes of Kate Middleton, but this functional-cool collaboration shows just how wide-ranging her creativity is. The line is priced from $88 for a sports bra with climbing-rope-inspired straps to $998 for this out-of-this-world Inner Expanse Infinity Coat — no small investment, but when you consider it can be worn multiple ways and comes with its own travel bag? Definitely tempting." — Lindsay Miller, director, News and Culture
Iced Gingerbread One Protein Bars
"These Iced Gingerbread One Protein Bars ($25 for 12) are a seasonal must-have for me. I reviewed them recently and am happy to report that they really do have a wonderful ginger and spice taste to them complete with lick-the-spoon-good icing. Each bar has 20 grams of whey and milk protein isolate, 230 calories, and only one gram of sugar. They're the perfect post-workout or midday snack to fuel you into the holidays." — Sam Brodsky, assistant editor, Fitness
Tracksmith Allston Tights
"These Tracksmith Allston Tights ($118) are made for runners and it shows. Tracksmith sent me a pair to test out and I can already tell they're my new go-to for chilly winter runs: high-waisted and snug but not constricting, tricked out with nifty pockets, and smooth as butter when they're on. I got the navy blue pair and I'm truly obsessed." — Maggie Ryan, assistant editor, Fitness
Native Deodourant Travel Sample Pack
"For travelling this month and for also keeping in my CrossFit and yoga bags, I love this Native deodourant travel size sample pack ($24). It comes with five scents: Coconut & Vanilla, Cucumber & Mint, Charcoal, Lavender & Rose, and Eucalyptus & Mint — I love them all but the Charcoal is my favourite right now." — JS
Primal Kitchen No-Dairy Alfredo Sauce
"I have been super busy lately, which means cooking dinner is low on my priority list. Luckily, this Primal Kitchen No-Dairy Alfredo Sauce ($20 for a two-pack) makes whipping something up a cinch. Since I'm dairy-sensitive, this vegan sauce doesn't upset my stomach and is only made with avocado oil, cashew butter, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, and spices. For a quick dinner, I mix it in with chickpea pasta, chicken sausage, and frozen broccoli. Best part? It tastes like the real deal and only has 60 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per serving." — CS
Grace 27oz MOBOT Foam Roller Water Bottle
"I've just recently started foam rolling more often, so when MOBOT, a two-in-one water bottle and foam roller, was brought to my attention, I was very intrigued to learn more. While meeting with founder and creator Lani Cooper, she showed me how to use the roller, which has extra-deep grooves, at my desk. Just by placing it under my hamstrings and moving ever so slightly from side to side, I felt eased tension that I didn't know was there (kind of like a pressure point). Same goes for different places on my back (I tend to slouch). I haven't tried using my Grace 27oz MOBOT Foam Roller Water Bottle ($49) to roll out my calves or anything else yet, but I intend to. It really is such an innovative product. Plus, it comes in three different sizes." — SB
Way of Will Moisturising Body Oil
"My hands have been so dry with the colder weather here in Vermont and having to turn on the heat. My new love of climbing is also drying out my hands, which is why I love this Way of Will 07 Breather Moisturising Body Oil ($32). After rubbing in just a small amount, my hands are instantly smooth and moisturised, and I love the soothing subtle scent of cedarwood and grapefruit." — JS
Athleta Speedlight Half Zip
"As I continue to train for my half marathon, I'm running outdoors more in cooler temps. My typical tanks and short-sleeved shirts don't cut it in New York Fall weather. Luckily, I have this Athleta Speedlight Half Zip ($79). It's long-sleeved so it keeps me warm enough, but I don't overheat in it since it's still pretty light. The fabric is moisture-wicking for when I get sweaty (which is every time I run). It's the perfect layering piece: on top of a T-shirt if I need to take it off or underneath a warmer jacket for when it gets really cold." — CS
Zesty Ranch Bada Bean Bada Boom
"I have a problem where I tend to put off eating at work. I know it's not a great lifestyle choice to make a habit of — food, after all, is fuel and no one needs low blood sugar — so I've been trying to incorporate more protein into my snacks, this way I'm fuller for longer. These Zesty Ranch Bada Bean Bada Boom Broad Beans ($25 for 24 bags) are a new favourite of mine. They're tasty and have six grams of protein per bag." — SB
New Balance Evolve Tback Bra
"I love strappy sports bras and the New Balance Evolve Tback Bra ($50) is my new favourite. It's extremely soft, and although it's listed as a low-impact bra, I've worn it during intense strength workouts and never had an issue with it." — TP
Crazy Richard's Wholly Rollies
"After dinner, I like to have a little something sweet, but not something made with sugar because it bothers my stomach. Lately, I've been obsessed with these Crazy Richard's Wholly Rollies ($15 for a three-pack). All three flavours are amazing: Cinnamon Oatmeal, PB & Strawberry, and my personal fave, PB & Cacao. They're made with minimal ingredients including peanut butter, gluten-free oats, dates, unsweetened coconut, raisins, and freeze-dried strawberries. They taste like peanut butter cookie dough balls!" — JS
Mineral Sousa Cannabinoid Body Oil
"As the weather begins to change, so does my skincare routine. The key to keeping my skin moisturised is applying body oil! I was in love with a body oil I had been using for 10-plus years but I recently tested out the Mineral Sousa CBD Body Oil ($70) and I'm obsessed with it. It's the perfect blend of oil to moisturise your skin without leaving you greasy, and the citrus and lavender scent is refreshing but not overpowering." — TP
IvySister Georgia Sports Bra
"Lately, I've been really into the Georgia Sports Bra ($43) from Ivy Sister for my low-impact workouts. It's smooth and soft against my skin and is a little longer than some of my other sports bras to give more coverage. The simple design makes it look super sleek and flattering too!" — MR
Dion Lee x Carbon38 Collab
"Every piece in the Dion Lee x Carbon38 collab takes athleisure to a new fashion high. From the Perf Bodysuit ($148) to Perf Mini Skirt($158), the collection bring a touch of chic sportiness to these wardrobe staples. For those looking to really standout, the bright red Perf Leggings ($178) will definitely get standout in any workout class." - GFR
Lululemon Rain Rebel Jacket
"As it gets into the colder (and hopefully much needed rainy season) in Los Angeles, I knew I wanted to add a sleek water repellent jacket to my wardrobe. I've been wearing the Lululemon Rain Rebel Jacket ($228) pretty much nonstop since I got it. It's perfect as a layer for walking my dog in the morning and the cinched waist makes it look professional for wearing to the office as well." - Genevieve Farrell Roston, Fitness & Wellness Director
