Oner is not your typical Pilates girl workout line. Yes, the styles are cute and flattering, but these outfits offer more compression and they’re made to get seriously sweaty. Just last month they launched the Oner Active Legendary Collection, which pays tribute to the iconic bodybuilding scene of the 80s. Think: bold shapes and vintage-inspired color palettes, designed to accentuate muscles and showcase strength. Standout pieces include low-coverage bra styles, onesies, and their first-ever shrug. 

Keep reading for what pieces Krissy wears daily, how she practices self-care, and other wellness must-haves. 

What are your favorite pieces from the brand? 

The Effortless Leggings and Mellow Soft Tops. I designed the Effortless leggings to enhance your curves and also be fit for the gym. Mellow soft is a multi-use fabric you can take wherever you go and wear in, or outside the gym.

What’s your weekly workout schedule?

My weekly workout schedule consists of three strength training sessions from the Evolve You app’s Strong program, alongside two long walks. I’m seven months pregnant, so I’m doing the best I can!

What’s always in your gym bag? 

I use the Oner Mini Go To Gym Bag. It’s so spacious and I can use it to and from the gym and when I need to pack a change of clothing. I always have my AirPods, spare Oner socks, Oner leggings, a water bottle, and lip balm. 

If you had to pick, what is a go-to workout outfit?

⁠Definitely a green or blue set! The Effortless Leggings, Timeless Strappy Bra, and Mellow Soft T-Shirt never fail. 

Tell us about your morning routine.

⁠I wake up at 6 am and brush my teeth! Then put on my comfy lifestyle products from Oner; I’m obsessed with our Lounge pieces. Then my first meeting starts at 7 am, then I’m in meetings until 11 am.

What is your go-to breakfast?

My hubby makes me coffee and colostrum every morning, he is the best! 

What are your top five pantry staples you can’t live without?

⁠My pantry staples are sour sweets, Nutella, Brazil nuts, dried mango, and hot sauce.

What is your favorite self-care practice?

I love love love spending time with my hubby and dogs. It’s my favorite form of self-care.

Are there any other wellness must-have products you can’t live without?

I would say my wellness must-have is my Eight Sleep mattress topper. It’s absolutely incredible! Also a monthly massage for lymphatic drainage and red light therapy, for sure.

If you haven’t heard, mouth-taping is the latest craze to hit the TikTok Explore page. A quick search on the app and you’ll find that the hashtag #mouthtaping currently has upwards of 52 million views. The trendy wellness practice, which involves placing a piece of lightweight fabric tape vertically across the middle of your closed lips while you sleep, is said to prevent mouth breathing. And according to the Cleveland Clinic, it’s also a big help to prevent snoring.

Many influencers are apparently ‘all in’ on the trend, with doctors even chiming in. “I saw a lot of improved benefits, I slept better [and] some other reported benefits are that you improve the release of nitric oxide, you help stimulate your parasympathetic activity, you get more relaxed, more calm,” explains Dr. Daniel Barrett in a TikTok on the subject. 

“I’ve even noticed that my allergies went away. If you have a lot of allergies or a stuffy nose in general, forcing yourself to breathe through your nose, at least for me, was able to reduce that,” added the plastic surgeon.  But as any discerning viewer knows, TikTokers can exaggerate. Here at ATN, we’re always game to try something new in the name of wellness. 

Keep reading for one writer’s experience with this buzzy, $30 wellness hack.

My Symptoms 

When it comes time for bed, my sleep patterns are all over the place. I try to get my full eight hours, but it doesn’t always happen. To my knowledge I’m not a snorer, but unconfirmed, whether I breathe in through my mouth or nose as I slumber (probably both). Additionally, I don’t have crazy allergies, but this time of year my nose can get a bit stuffy and dry, so I was curious if this would help. 

I’m not going to lie, the idea of using mouth tape kind of freaked me out at first. The thought of restricting half of my oxygen source did not sound fun. However, after doing some research I found that nose breathing does indeed have benefits. The list includes lowering blood pressure, filtering allergens, moisturizing your throat, and more importantly to me: decreasing anxiety. 

With that in mind, I was excited to check it out. For the job, I used Dream Performance & Recovery’s Dream Mouth Tape. 

“Mouth taping has taken over the internet for its unconventional approach to sleep, but the benefits of mouth taping can benefit overall human health,” says Dream Performance & Recovery co-founder and Chief Brand Officer, Todd Anderson. “The practice leads to nasal breathing which is scientifically proven to increase the quality of REM sleep, cardiovascular health, heart rate variability (HRV), and athletic performance, and can aid sleep apnea and reduce snoring.”

First impressions

Dream Performance & Recovery’s mouth tape is luxe. It’s made of a soft, super thin bamboo silk fabric that sits comfortably on your skin. Some other brands have a breathing hole cutout in the middle. This one doesn’t, but it’s all good as the two-way stretch makes you feel less confined, so you won’t feel like you’re suffocating. It also comes in a bunch of fun colors (I chose blue). 

Pick from a variety of sizes, depending on your comfort level. They have a full size, which covers just the lip area, and a strip, which is much smaller and vertically adheres to the center of your lip area. While I started with the full size (and did just fine), I’d highly recommend the strip for any hesitant newbies. And then there’s the Dream Tape+ which is infused with vitamins for skincare and sleep benefits. They also come in 30-day monthly packs, but you can sign up for auto-renewal at a discounted price. 

How do you use mouth tape?

Using the tape is pretty self-explanatory but I do have some tips. To apply, simply remove the tape from the packaging, pull the tape from both sides to rip the center crease, and peel off the paper. The tape itself feels like a very thin fabric bandaid, minus the gauze in the center. I was surprised to find that it wasn’t all that sticky and I wasn’t so sure it would stay in place all night, let alone for the 12 hours the brand claimed. 

Pro tip: If you are someone who has a lavish skincare routine (guilty) try to avoid slippery products like oils that make it difficult for the tape to stay in place. Similarly, you’ll want to wait 15 to 30 minutes after your skincare to ensure your products are absorbed and your skin is completely dry.

My Results 

Again, I don’t think I’m a snorer (and I sleep alone), so the jury is out if the tape helped on that front. Right away, however, after night one I noticed that I had a deeper, more restful sleep. For once in a long while I woke up feeling energized before I even had my first cup of coffee. This remained the case throughout the week as I noticed I was more alert, which allowed me to make healthier choices (i.e. actively choosing to eat more veggies and protein and foregoing alcohol). Also noticeably, I was less stuffy, which was a nice relief. 

Final Verdict

After only using mouth tape for a week, I’m fully aware that this may be the result of a placebo effect. However, I firmly believe that using mouth tape has allowed me to get better sleep and breathe better throughout the day. The stretchy bamboo silk fabric made it easy to adjust to using mouth tape, too. However, since I don’t have snoring issues, I’d be curious to see how this works for someone who does. 

Who shouldn’t do mouth taping?

If you’re in it for help with sleep apnea, there are conflicting data on its effectiveness, and researchers don’t recommend it for moderate to severe sleep apnea. No matter who you are, before trying mouth tape, consult with a doctor to make sure it’s safe for you.

The post I Tried Mouth Tape For A Week–This $30 Wellness Hack Will Upgrade Your Whole Life appeared first on Athletech News.

Pretty much anything that helps to treat, prevent, or alleviate a mental or physical illness or disability is fair game. Think over-the-counter meds for flu and cold, glasses and contacts, prenatal supplements, first aid supplies, and new age wellness gear like LED light therapy and massage guns. Even some of your favorite beauty products from Sephora qualify. 

While you can pretty much purchase the same type of items with both, these accounts vary slightly in structure, eligibility, and rollover rules. It’s important to know how it works not just for yourself, but also for your clients and members if you are a fitness professional because there are many eligible products that can benefit wellness programming.

The difference between HSA and FSA plans

To qualify for an HSA you must have a high-deductible health plan, while an FSA is like a line of credit. An HSA is owned by you (and you can take it with you if you change jobs), while an FSA is owned by an employer and you’ll lose it if you leave. HSAs roll over from year to year with no expiration and with FSAs you’ll lose any funds you don’t spend by the end of your plan year unless the plan has a grace period or carryover feature.

Deciding which one is best for you is a personal decision, but once you have a plan in place you’ll be set up to use your FSA or HSA card online or in-store. (Just be sure to check with your HRA or FSA administrator to confirm the eligibility of an expense with your plan)

So what are the best wellness products you can and should purchase with your HSA or FSA in 2024, you ask? Keep on reading. 

Bestqool Red Light Therapy Mat, $379

It’s no secret that red light therapy has a long list of overall health benefits, including muscle recovery, increased energy, pain relief and skin health. While the technology comes in a variety of formats (like face masks, wands, helmets, belts and more) this large mat takes the cake. It’s comparable to the size of a yoga mat, so if you lay on it, it will cover every inch of your skin. Pro tip: it can’t penetrate clothing so make sure you do it in the buff for maximum results. 

TheraFlow Foot Massager for Plantar Fasciitis Relief Foot Massager, $16.99 (Orig. $29.99)

Did you know that one in 10 people will experience plantar fasciitis in their lifetime? The painful condition occurs when the plantar fascia (the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot) becomes inflamed. One of the best ways to alleviate it: is with a good foot massage. Trust, this under $20 wooden contraption (which is currently 40% off) has over 30k glowing reviews. Even if you don’t have chronic pain and just want a good massage, you won’t be disappointed. 

Perelel Health 1st Trimester Prenatal Pack, $49.50/month (Orig. $58.24/month)

Prenatal vitamins are one item that surprisingly makes this list and Perelel’s science-backed packs are top-rated. The brand breaks down its prenatal options into three stage-specific categories: first, second and third trimester. Not only are they formulated by a team of OB/GYNs, but they’re also made with DHA + EPA, folate, patented iron, and other blends to help keep mom and baby in optimal health. 

RENPHO Eyeris 1 FSA/HSA Eligible Eye Massager, $69.99 (Orig. $98.19)

If this is your first time hearing of a mechanical eye massager, you’re not alone. This portable device (that looks more like a VR mask) has nearly 25k reviews on Amazon. This device comes with a handful of features including, heat, Bluetooth capabilities and is foldable so you can toss it in your carry-on bag for travel. Whether you’re spending hours staring at a computer screen, or working the night shift at the hospital, strained eyes will love this device. 

TheraGun Mini Massage Gun, $189 (Orig. $199)

Everyone who tries Theragun loves it, especially those who work out and need serious recovery. You can’t go wrong with any of the models, but the mini is a good place to start. It’s compact and priced to sell at under $200. This deep-tissue massage gun happens to be 20% smaller and 30% lighter than the OG, making it easy to throw in your gym bag for immediate relief. Use the on-the-go device to hit any area that’s sore, from your neck, back, legs, hands, shoulders, and feet.

Metamucil 4 in 1 Daily Fiber Supplement Powder, $31.33 (Orig. $32.98)

Most Americans don’t get enough fiber in their daily diet. The American Heart Association recommends 25–30 grams of fiber per day. Getting enough fiber helps support healthy blood sugar levels, promotes heart health, and helps control appetite. If you or someone you know aren’t quite hitting the mark, invest in this best-selling supplement with over 30k reviews on Amazon. Metamucil’s blend is sugar-free and deliciously orange-flavored, so all you have to do is mix it with a glass of water. 

Supergoop Glow Screen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide, $38

Supergoop is famous for its Glow Screen, but it doesn’t come cheap at $38 a tube. Luckily it’s covered under FSA/HSA plans (just make sure to save your receipt!). The silky lotion formula is packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to help boost moisture in the skin, sea lavender to help provide powerful antioxidant protection, and cocoa peptides to help protect the skin from blue-light damage. 

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro, $455

Red light therapy masks are so good for helping to stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This just-under $500 one from Dr. Dennis Gross is arguably the most popular on the market. The FDA-cleared LED device is super simple to use. It comes with three settings: red, blue, or red and blue, and only takes a few 3-minute sessions each week to start seeing results. 

Skinfix KP+ Psoriasis Smoothing Treatment Body Lotion, $50

Those who struggle with Keratosis pilaris (KP) and Psoriasis know how frustrating the different skin conditions can be. And while KP and psoriasis are not the same, it is possible to have both at the same time. Enter this smoothing body treatment that addresses both. It’s clinically shown to visibly smooth KP bumps while also reducing the look of flaking, scaling, and redness. The key ingredients are the line’s patent-pending complex with barrier lipids and peptides mixed with three types of exfoliating acids. 

Warby Parker Women’s Nadia Frames, starting at $95

Another surprising expense that’s covered under your FSA/HSAs? Contact lens and everyday eyewear. Thankfully Warby Parker is in on the deal. Simply scope out the brand’s site and find a pair of frames you like best (they conveniently have virtual try-ons and free at-home try-ons). The site makes it super easy to order, just have your prescription handy. All of their frames are chic, but you can’t go wrong with the best-selling Nadia frames.

Welcome to ATN’s new Q+A influencer series, where we tap ATN-loved trainers to share their current obsessions: from workouts they love to morning routines, can’t live without gear, what foods they’re eating to refuel, and more wellness musings. As athletes, we’re all pretty passionate about our specific routines, but it never gets old seeing what others in the industry are personally loving and doing. 

Up this week is Kendall “Woody” Wood, a CPT who’s been a Tonal Coach since 2021. If you’re in the fitness community, you’ve no doubt heard of, if not already tried, Tonal – a smart home gym system that uses digital weights and resistance technology for strength training. The all-in-one piece of equipment comes with a monthly membership of classes and personalized workout programs courtesy of top trainers like Woody, an East Coast native who recently returned to NYC after 7 years in LA. 

Like many of you, she’s well-versed and has done everything from boxing to personal training, to group fitness. As a fitness trainer, her overall philosophy is to keep it approachable and fun. “It’s important to me to continue to humanize the experience of fitness, by not only being a source of knowledge but also just by being myself: a relatable, playful human being!” 

Below Woody talks about currently training for a half marathon, the exact breakfast that keeps her full for hours, what’s in her gym bag, and how she prioritizes mental health. 

P.S. Athletech readers can save $200 on a Tonal device with the code Athlete200 at checkout.

What’s your weekly workout schedule?

I’m currently training for my second half marathon, so, at present, my routine revolves around accumulating miles outdoors. It’s so important to support my running, and also my mental health, with strength training, which I do on Tonal and sometimes at the local NYSC or gym in my residential building. I’m guilty of sacrificing recovery before anything else, but mobility is a huge component and complement to my current routine, so I try to do that as often as possible.

What’s your go-to gym bag?

I’m a big Dagne Dover fan. I have a few of their products, but my most used gym bag is the Dakota Backpack. The backpack reigns supreme for me living in a big city where I’m bopping from place to place, riding CitiBikes, walking miles on miles, and usually, carrying whatever I might need for the next 8 hours of my day. It’s also made from neoprene, so it’s super durable, flexible to pack to the brim, and easy to clean. I also have the Ace Fanny Pack, which I strap on for runs, and the Landon Carryall, which is a solid weekender bag!

What five items are always in your gym bag?

1. Blistex medicated mint chapstick
2. Chomps pepperoni turkey stick
3. Trident spearmint gum
4. Hair clip
5. Secret Clinical Strength deodorant

If you had to pick, what is your go-to workout outfit?

This fit has me written all over it. These Athleta leggings are the foundation for any workout outfit. I prefer a high-waisted and snug fit; I want to feel held in and supported for whatever kind of workout I’m slated for that day. This Carbon38 bra is a personal favorite because the material is insanely soft and it lays comfortably on my skin. There’s nothing more annoying than a bra that’s so tight, you can’t wait to get it off. I love adding layers to my workout outfit, like this Aritzia zip-up that I have in many colors. They’re as easy to throw on as they are to take off, and I have an extra layer for errands post-workout. These New Balance running sneakers are some of the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever put on your feet. I went up a half size for maximum comfort while clocking miles; they’ve served me well for running and more!

Tell us about your morning routine.

This is going to make you gasp, but my morning routine involves waking myself up with a giant cup of coffee. I require at least 20 minutes with my coffee on the couch before tackling even the smallest task. After that, I take my dogs for a walk, which does wonders for my mental health. Sun on my face and fresh air have healing powers, I swear. My go-to morning skincare involves two products I recommend to all my people: The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA and Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF.

What is your go-to breakfast?

I’m typically craving something savory in the morning, and I want to feel satiated for as long as possible if I’m heading to work or have a big day ahead. My usual breakfast looks like 2-3 eggs and one Al Fresco chicken sausage patty on a tortilla. Lately, I’ve been on an oatmeal kick, and my oatmeal recipe is so extra: Naked Whey chocolate protein powder, cashew butter, frozen blueberries, and Catalina Crunch dark chocolate cereal.

What are your top five pantry staples you can’t live without?

1. Vista Hermosa Flour Tortillas

The tortilla is the greatest vessel ever created! You can put anything in a tortilla, specifically Vista Hermosa flour tortillas, and it’s an instant hit. I throw it into a pan to heat up for 1-2 minutes before topping it with protein and whatever else. I always have these in the fridge.

2. Buffalo Bitchin’ Sauce

Bitchin’ Sauce is an almond-based dipping sauce that’s the perfect condiment. You can use this for your veggies, on top of your sandwich or burger, or throw some into a salad or savory cottage cheese snack. Buffalo is the best flavor!

3. Haagen Daz Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

My love for ice cream runs deep, and Haagen Daz has had my affection as of late.

4. Spindrift Half Tea Half Lemon Sparkling Water

Water is great and all, but have you ever had a Spindrift? It’s the superior sparkling water with just the right amount of carbonation, and Half Tea Half Lemon is the crowned prince.

5. Nespresso Half-Caffeinated Coffee Pods and Il Caffè Espresso Pods

Neck and neck with Spindrift for my beverage of choice, coffee is my lifeblood. It also serves as a go-to pre-workout. I love making my red eye with a half-caff cup of coffee and one espresso shot added in for just the right amount of jolt. 

What do you do for self-care?

I am a glutton for a good massage. I go to a local small business every two weeks for a full-body massage because my body is tired, ya know? My most frequent and cost-effective self-care practice, however, one that I swear by and encourage all my friends to take part in, is walking! There is nothing more settling for the mind and body than a long, leisurely walk outside. No walk is complete without my mom and son’s pups, Jelly and Bean, and you better believe I’m practicing self-care in style. My walking sneaker of choice is either the New Balance 530s or Nike AirMax 90s and I love a matching set from Sporty and Rich to complete this cozy athleisure moment.

Any other wellness products you can’t live without?

Theragun Mini for constant knots before my next massage. CrossRope Jump Ropes for cardio that’s not running and still kicks your ass. Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones for walking, running, strength training, and pretending I’m unavailable. And Advil is an amazing product.

Best fitness advice for anyone just starting their fitness journey?

Find the activity you love and settle in. If you love the activity or the workout, you’ll keep showing up. The more you show up, the more confident and comfortable you become. The people who show up frequently alongside you are your people; they’re your accountability partners. Tap into accountability partners when life gets hectic and excuses start popping up.

Pilates is currently having its moment. Anyone who’s tried out a reformer class knows: it’s addictive. Once you start, you won’t stop because the lengthening and toning method makes you feel that good.

If you find yourself hitting up (or teaching) multiple classes a week, it’s time to take a cue from celebs and fitness influencers and invest in some Pilates-friendly activewear staples. Sure you can wear pretty much anything you want, but it makes each session that much more exciting when you have the perfect Pilates fit.

Pilates is a low-impact workout consisting of fluid movements done at a slow and consistent pace. So unlike weightlifting or running, you don’t need tight, compression fabrics to hold everything in place. Instead think lightweight, breathable fabrics that comfortably move with your body.

Most Pilates-approved activewear is super soft, but form-fitting. Pro tip: You want to be sure to avoid anything overly flowy that might get in your way on the reformer.

Lucky for you, our Pilates-obsessed Athletech News editors have tested out countless brands at all price points, including Lululemon, Alo, Beyond Yoga, Amazon and more.

Keep reading for the top-performing Pilates wardrobe staples we can’t live without.

When it comes to activewear, both men and women love Alo Yoga. Over the years, the brand has built quite a reputation for itself with legions of A-list celebs like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber and more frequently wearing the brand.

If you’re even just a little familiar, you know that Alo is so much more than a clothing line – it’s a lifestyle. As you may have seen on TikTok or Instagram, there are two exclusive gyms in NYC and LA. The wellness clubs are outfitted with the works: personal trainers, weight rooms, pilates reformers, saunas, cold plunges, smoothie bars, and more. But don’t expect to get a membership, it’s invite-only, so you’ve got to be a big celeb or influencer to even get in the door.

While there are some cult-favorite pieces like the best-selling Alo Airlift leggings, they’re good about rolling out fresh new launches, like ’90s capris and terry cloth sets, every season. This summer is no different.

Athletech News has kept a close eye on the latest summer launches. These 11 Alo trends are what the cool kids are wearing this summer.

’90s CAPRIS

• 

  Alo Alosoft High Waist Iconic ’90s Capris, $88

  Leave it to Kendall Jenner to make capris cool again. Lucky for you, the nostalgic cropped style comes in the brand’s super-soft performance Alosoft fabric, complete with a skinny ribbed waistband. Pair yours with a matching tank or colorful sports bra for a pop of color.

  RED HOT SUMMER

• 

  Alo Airlift Line Up Bra, $78; Alo Airlift High-Waist 7/8 Line Up Legging, $138

  Alo’s Airlift Line Up set is arguably their current most popular, the only thing that makes it better is this red hot hue, as seen on countless influencers in the Alo gym. It comes with a pretty flocked velvet waistband and strategically placed black stitching to emphasize your curves. Plus, the v-cut neckline of the bra is so flattering you’re going to want it in every color.

  RUCHED DETAILS

• 

  Alo Wild Thing Bra,$68; Alo High-Waist Airbrush Legging, $98

  This fun and flirty ruched bra comes in a variety of colors (like this pretty botanical green), so you can mix and match with all your favorite leggings. The best-selling bra has over 1k reviews on the site with buyers raving about how it’s equal parts sexy and comfortable. Wear it to a workout or as loungewear, you decide.

  CHESTNUT MATCHING SET

• 

  Alo Airlift Intrigue Bra in Chestnut, $64; Alo 7/8 High Waist Airlift Legging in Chestnut, $128

  If you’re new to the Alo family, you’re going to want to get your hands on their iconic Airlift leggings and sports bra. It’s made with the most flattering compression fabric and comes in a bunch of basic and seasonal colorways. This season, we suggest you scoop up the just-dropped Chestnut shade (rocked here: Alo Pilates trainer Mary Miller).

  THE PERFECT EVERYDAY CROPPED TANK

• 

  Alo Seamless Delight High Neck Bra, $68

  Everyday tank tops are so practical, but finding a good one is more challenging than it should be. This one is an Alo influencer favorite and ticks all the boxes: it’s form-fitting, slightly cropped, and super soft. It comes in black, white and grey (and seasonal colors, too), so stock up!

  COLORFUL ONESIES

• 

  Alo Alsoft Sun’s Out Onesie, $128

  When it comes to workout wear, it doesn’t get easier, or chicer, than a onesie. Take a cue from Kendall Jenner for summer and swap out your usual black one for a trendy blue shade. Buyers love the double strap design, tummy-smoothing compression, and that the shorts that are just the right length.

  MESH DETAILS

• 

  Alo Mesh Sheer Illusion Cropped Long-Sleeve in Ivory, $68

  If you’re looking for an eye-catching look, this mesh crop top is it. The fabric is soft and stretchy and has a bunch of cute details like a boat neck, a gathered front, and a keyhole cutout. Wear it with biker shorts for a workout, or pair it with baggy jeans and heels for a night out.

• Men’s Knitwear Sets

• 

  Alo Sports Club Sweater Knit Polo, $158; Alo 7″ Sports Club Sweater Knit Basketball Short, $148

  If you want to look pulled together without having to think about it, this knit set will be your new best friend. The upscale casual polo and shorts combo is perfect for all your summer activities, from Pickleball to a weekend birthday bash. Pair with your favorite sneakers and you’re good to go.

  MEN’S CARGO PANTS

• 

  Alo Cargo Ripstop Trouser, $118

  An easy way to upgrade your everyday style is with a pair of cargo pants, and Alo just dropped this new style. The straight-leg fit is made of a sturdy but cooling fabric you can wear while working out and beyond. There’s plenty of storage, too with zippered side pockets, side cargo pockets, and back flap pockets.

  MEN’S TERRY CLOTH SETS

• 

  Alo Costal Terry Button Up, $88; Alo 7″ Costal Terry Short, $78

  Terry cloth is a quintessential summer fabric, but who knew it could look so sharp. This just-launched short set comes with a button-up collared shirt that makes it a little more formal. Wear it to the beach for a casual dinner date, you’ll certainly be dressed to impress.

• 

  Alo Lightweight Takeaway Track Pullover, $148

  One thing is for certain, a classic track jacket never goes out of style. This half-zip one is lightweight and perfect for all your summer activities. Team yours with your workout shorts or a nice pair of jeans for an everyday look.

If you live in NYC or LA, you’ve probably seen social wellness clubs like Remedy Place, Pause Studio, or The Well popping up all over your city.

These days, no matter your commitment level to health and fitness, it seems like everyone and their mother has dabbled in wellness activities such as cold plunging, sauna sessions, hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and more. Thanks to Instagram and TikTok, healthy living has become more mainstream than ever, but even still, a wellness club membership is pricey. 

If you don’t live in a metropolitan area or you’re not ready to pay for yet another membership, we’ve got you covered with this list of at-home wellness devices, gadgets and products.

The key to creating a luxury wellness club vibe at home is selecting items that promote relaxation, physical health and mental well-being all at the same time. It can be as simple as adding a cryo ball to your morning routine or as extravagant as purchasing your very own plunge pool for your backyard. 

If you’re interested in upping your wellness game, but not sure where to start, anything and everything on this list will have you well on your way.

• 

  Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket, $699

  If you have limited space at home, this innovative sauna blanket delivers the same benefits as a steam room or walk-in sauna. It’s basically an at-home sweat machine that uses far-infrared technology and lightwaves to directly heat the body instead of heating the air around you. In just one session you can expect to feel instant relief from muscle soreness.

  One buyer uses it  “daily to help increase my sluggish lymph flow” and “looks forward to climbing in and being enveloped in warmth.” Use it at the beginning of the day or at night to help you fall asleep.

• 

  ​​Snailax Shiatsu Massage Cushion with Heat, $99.89 (orig. $125.99)

  This $100 chair-style back massager is an Amazon best-seller because it’s easy to use while working from home or chilling on the couch. It delivers a Japanese shiatsu-style massage that targets pressure points and expertly mimics the feel of hands. One buyer purchased hers in 2020 “to alleviate my lower back pains, and it has been a daily essential ever since,” she notes.  It only has one heat setting, but you can choose between 5, 10 or 15-minute sessions.

• 

  Therabody RecoveryAir JetBoots, $799

  These wireless state-of-the-art compression boots from Therabody are pricey but they’re the definition of no hassle. Wear them in bed or on the couch without having to worry about plugging them in. They are available in three different sizes and come with control panels seamlessly built in and with the pumps hidden in the base of the boot.

  There are four pressure settings (up to a powerful 100 mmHg) and best of all, you can control the boots manually or via the Therabody app.

• 

  iECO Cryosphere Cold Massage Roller Ball, $25.99

  The pros of cryotherapy are endless, but you don’t need a full-on cryo chamber in your house to reap the benefits. Start by investing in this $25 bestselling cryo massage roller ball from Amazon. “I constantly leave mine in the freezer and use it on the back of my neck when I have migraines coming on,” says one buyer. It’s also perfect for pre- and post-workout recovery, but also helps with joint pain, foot pain like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, carpal tunnel, and overall mobility improvement.

• 

  Cozy Earth Luxe Bath Robe, $180

  If your goal is to be relaxed, one thing you’ll need is a plush, comfy robe. This nearly $200 one is crafted from a luxurious blend of cotton and bamboo that’ll feel so soft against your skin.

  “I was blown away by the quality of this product. 12/10 Highly recommended as a gift to a significant other,” raves a buyer. Pro tip: size up for extra comfort.

• 

  Plunge The Plunge, $4,590

  Cold plunging is not easy, but it’s worth it. Just a few minutes a day and you’ll feel more energized, less stressed, and an improved sleeping experience. So if you’re ready to invest in a legit cold plunge tub, this is the only one worth buying. It cools to 39 degrees, has an ozone sanitation system, is easy to set up and plug in, and comes with an insulated cover so you can store in or outdoors. The brand’s site is flooded with 5-star reviews.

  “My daily routine has jumped through the roof,” raves one buyer.

• 

  Omnilux Contour Glove, $345

  For anyone experiencing joint pain in their hands, these FDA-cleared, red light therapy gloves are clinically proven to reduce inflammation, pain, and irritation associated with joint conditions. The gloves “helped the pain in my hand from arthritis after just a few uses,” noted one buyer.

  For those interested in anti-aging, they also rejuvenate the skin by helping to reduce sunspots, pigmentation, wrinkles, dry cracking skin, and uneven skin tone. All it takes is 10 minutes a few times a week.

• 

  WYZE Smart Scale, $35.98 (orig. $39.98)

  If you’re looking to level up your fitness, this under $40 smart scale will tell you everything you need to know about your body composition. The Amazon Choice scale supports up to eight users and measures your weight, body fat percentage, BMI, and muscle mass so you can accurately track if you’re losing weight or gaining muscle. It comes with four AAA batteries and sends data via Bluetooth to the brand’s easy-to-use app. It’s also compatible with other major health apps, including Apple Health, and Google Fit.

• 

  BCAN 40/48″ Foldable Mini Trampoline, $129.99

  Rebounding is an excellent way to promote lymphatic drainage, which is especially important as we age. Not to mention, it’s actually very fun and efficient (fun fact: 10 minutes of bounce exercise equals 1 hour jogging, 30 minutes cycling or 20 minutes swimming). This compact model, which is also foldable, fits in any tiny corner of your home. “I was not expecting to fall in love with this form of exercise so quickly…I feel alive when I jump,” raves one buyer.

It’s no secret that Pilates is having a moment. Ever since the pandemic in 2020, the versatile workout has skyrocketed in popularity.

If you’re a Pilates regular (or Pilates princess as they say on TikTok), one accessory you can’t have enough of is Pilates grip socks. After all, having the right pair of grip socks for your Pilates reformer practice is an essential gym bag staple. In fact, most studios won’t let you take class if you don’t wear them. But not all grip socks are created equal. I recently purchased the WellBeing + BeingWell Striped Tube Grip Socks from Revolve, and I’m calling it: they’re my new favorites. 

As a certified Pilates instructor, I’ve tried my fair share of Pilates socks and this best-selling style ticks all the boxes for me. Yes, $24 might sound expensive for one single pair of socks, but when it comes to pilates socks, quality is everything. After all, when you’re working out on the reformer you need a sturdy pair with good, strong grips that will not only prevent you from getting hurt, they’ll also help advance your practice by improving balance and stability in all the different positions. 

The biggest selling point is the durability of the grips on the sole. Most other socks I’ve tried have thinner grips that wear out after a few uses. But I’ve worn these a few times a week for months (not to mention washed them a dozen times) and they’re still just as sticky as they were when I got them.

Other buyers agree. “They have lasted me months and are still grippy. I do Pilates multiple times a week,” raves one.

Another adds, “The stickiness is so good.”

To this day I haven’t found a better performing pair. I’m big on fit and feel and these 80% cotton socks are super soft, with just the right amount of stretch. I love the stylish tube length of the socks and how they’re just snug enough around the calf without being suffocating. Once they’re on, they’re on; and they stay in place all workout long. That justifies the price to me. 

Not only do the little heart-shaped grips outperform others, they’re the perfect way to complete your pilates outfit. Like any TikTok pilates princess, you can usually find me in a chic monochromatic matching set and having socks that coordinate really helps pull the look together. The simple striped style comes in five neutral colorways, from classic white and black to beige and gray or off-white and navy blue. When in doubt I reach for the classic black and white pair, but the blanc alfalfa green (a light, neutral khaki) is a close second. 

Trust me, I’ve tried them all and if you’re looking for an investment pair of pilates socks, you won’t be disappointed with these.

Dads should be celebrated every day of the year, but Father’s Day is right around the corner on Sunday, June 16, and it’s the perfect opportunity to remind him of how much you care. If your dad happens to be an outdoor enthusiast or fitness junkie, you’ve come to the right place.

Active dads tend to be particular about what they like – from their favorite running sneakers to the latest in tech gadgets, but that doesn’t mean you can’t surprise them with something they didn’t know they needed. Maybe he’s in the market for a new piece of at-home workout equipment, and in that case, this Rowing Machine is 40% off right now. If he’s always on the go and deserves a little R&R, these Active Recovery Shoes are a sure bet. 

When it comes to making a selection, you know the dad (or dads) in your life best. Rest assured, there’s something on this list that he’ll love.

• 

  Mujjo Full Leather 15 Pro Max IPhone Case, $47.20 (orig. $59)

  It’s a fact: Dads are suckers for high quality leather goods. Instead of getting him a wallet or belt like you always do, why not surprise him with a genuine leather iPhone case? It’s a simple upgrade that he wouldn’t think to get himself, but one that makes a big difference. The look and feel of this Mujjo case “is perfectly on par with Apple’s now defunct leather cases,” explains one buyer.

  The under $60 design features luxe premium European leather tanned in the Netherlands and ages beautifully over time. It’s lined with a satin-like Japanese microfibre, has clicky metal button covers and a 1mm raised leather bezel that protects the screen from getting scratched. “If you are looking for a case that feels premium and looks wonderful, this one is a safe bet,” adds the 5-star reviewer. And yes, it’s MagSafe compatible so you can still charge your device wirelessly.

•
