A fresh year often means fresh intentions, more movement, stronger bodies, and workout gear that actually makes you want to get going. We’ve been testing a range of fitness and movement favourites that help with motivation, comfort and recovery, whether you’re already active or just getting started on your journey. These are products we’ve genuinely used, loved and reached for again and again, and we think they’ll help you make 2026 your most active, confident year yet.
From supportive apparel to performance tools that actually feel good, here’s what earned a place in our routine.
Homark – Mini Massage Gun
We were genuinely impressed by how much this compact massage gun delivers. Lightweight and easy to handle, it quickly became our go‑to for post‑workout relief and daily muscle tension. What stood out most was how effective it felt on areas like shoulders, calves and glutes, places that usually hold the most tension without being so powerful that it felt intimidating.
It’s quiet, easy to use and has enough attachments to make each session feel tailored. We liked being able to target different muscle groups with confidence, and the compact size makes it perfect for keeping on your desk, in your gym bag, or on the sofa for chilled‑out recovery sessions. If your goal this year is to move more and feel better doing it, this little device definitely helps with the “after” part.

H&M – Move Collection
We’ve been pleasantly surprised by just how much we’ve reached for pieces from the Move Collection. The fabrics feel soft and flexible, letting you bend, stretch and train with ease. They feel just like a second skin, and they hold up well over repeated wears and washes. There’s something motivating about slipping into comfortable, well‑fitting activewear; it makes workouts feel more inviting rather than a chore.
We tested leggings, tops from the range, and all delivered reliable comfort and freedom of movement. Whether it was a longer run or a quick HIIT session at home, the collection moved with us rather than against us and that’s a big part of what helps us stay consistent. If you want fitness clothes that feel good to wear and actually support your movement goals, this range is worth a look.
The Move Collection also has items like waterproof earrings, yoga towels and much more, so make sure you take a look.

Tappwater – BottlePro
Hydration matters, especially when you’re stepping up your movement goals, and the BottlePro has genuinely changed how we drink water throughout the day. It’s solidly built and feels substantial in hand without being bulky, which encouraged us to carry it everywhere. The wide mouth makes it easy to add ice, and the insulation keeps drinks cold for hours, which honestly makes hydration feel that much more enjoyable.
But what impressed us most was not just the filter but how often we actually reached for it. Because it’s comfortable to carry and easy to sip from on the go, we found ourselves drinking more water naturally, without forcing it. For anyone aiming to move more and feel better, keeping hydrated consistently makes a real difference, and this bottle makes that part easy.

Reebok – Sports Bra
Finding a sports bra that actually supports and feels comfortable is a game-changer, and this one genuinely hit that sweet spot for us. We wore it across a range of activities, from brisk walks to higher‑intensity workouts, and it offered consistent support without digging in or feeling restrictive.
What impressed us most was the fit: it held everything in place without pressure points, and the fabric felt breathable even when we were working up a sweat. Movement felt natural and secure, which honestly makes a bigger difference than we expected. It’s become our go‑to choice for everything from gym sessions to yoga classes and casual days when comfort matters.
