Women’s Health Fitness Awards 2025 seen on TODAY
Bala Bottle

If you’re like us and have a growing collection of water bottles, you might want to add this Bala Bottle to your round up. Not only will it keep your drink cool, the booster ring on the cap can be used to mount your phone.
Pointe Studio Grip Socks

This is your reminder to remember your pilates socks! In case you’re in need of some, the Women’s Health team awarded this pair their seal of approval. We’re guessing it’s because they promises flexible support and compression during pilates, barre and more.
Gymwrap 2.0 Headband

Does sweat drip into your eyes or your hair get disheveled while working out? The Gymwrap 2.0 Headband promises to wick away sweat as you exercise. That way, you don’t have to worry about sweat getting into your eyes or your hair falling loose. The headband also has Evapocool fabric to keep it breathable, cool and ventilating while you wear it.
Oofos Ooahh Recovery Slide Sandal

According to the brand, this sandal absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear. Meaning, you should experience less stress on the knees, ankles and other joints as you recover. There’s also sizing for men, too, here.
SPI Running Belt

Remain hands-free during your runs with the SPI Running Belt. According to the brand, it’s a favorite amongst marathoners. And unlike some running belts on the market, the belt offers ample space and no bounce as you run.
Rhone Revive 7/8 Pocket Legging

Rhone’s Revive Pocket Leggings promise movement with ease. From its stretchy fabric, anti-odor technology, supportive waistband and oh, the phone pocket (of course!), these leggings should help you move about confidently during your workouts.
Although the brand doesn’t have an option for men, they have some workout joggers available.

Obshay Swirl 4 lb Weight

While it might look like a piece of art, the Obshay Swirl weight is uniquely shaped so you can comfortably grip it with one or two hands. It’s silky-smooth silicone over iron, so the weight should be easy to clean. Plus, the brand adds that it should scratch table surfaces.
Shop it in white marble (as seen above), black marble, ocean marble and rose marble in both 4 lb and 7 lb here.
Béis The Sport Backpack

Trust the luggage experts to make a fitness bag as cute as their carry-ons. While it will surely make any workout apparel stylish, Béis’ The Sport Backpack is also incredibly functional, with features like a front equipment pocket, key leash, water bottle pouch and more to suit all of your needs.
Stakt Adjustable Hand Weights

These adjustable weights let you alternate between pounds with just a single twist. The base itself is two pounds, and can be flexed between four to six pounds.
Oura Ring 4

Track your sleep, heart rate, stress levels and more at just your fingertips (literally) with the Oura Ring 4. Not only is it a Women’s Health favorite, we at Shop TODAY can’t stop raving about it, too. A few of our team members complimented its accuracy, features and wearability.
Women’s Health Fitness Awards 2024 winners
Women’s Health Editor-in-Chief Liz Baker Plosser previously stopped by TODAY to reveal some of their 2024 winners.
Portland Health Supply The Myo Mount

Without a companion, getting the most out of your massage tool — especially when trying to get hard-to-reach places — is a difficult task on its own. Luckily, this hands-free wall mount allows you to deeply target those specific muscles by providing a unique way to stick your massager to smooth surfaces. No drilling or screwing is required — the mount has a powerful suction that can hold up most massage guns on the market.
BellaBooty Hip Thrust Belt

“There is tons of TikTok buzz around this gadget, which lets you connect together two dumbbells to create a convenient hip thrust belt,” explains Plosser. The belt eases the discomfort of having a dumbbell or bar across your hips during exercise with its slip-resistant and padded strap, and claims to hold up to 400 pounds. Talk about impressive.
Vuori Performance Joggers

Whether you’re just lounging around or going on a quick jog, you deserve to be comfortable. These high performing pants by Vuori promise tons of softness and breathability as you wear. The brand contributes this to the moisture-wicking and four-way stretch fabric, which comes designed in a slim, relaxed cropped fit.
B,Halfmoon Helix Weights 3lb

Don’t let the twists and curves fool you — this dumbbell set will get you through every rep just like a traditional pick. “They have a unique curved shape for grip to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand, and enable a variety of angles of exercises to hit all the muscles,” says Plosser.
Goodr Mach G Sunglasses

“It’s tough to find a performance sunglasses pair in an aviator style that don’t slip or fog up during wet and breathy workouts,” suggests Plosser. But this pair promises to stay in place regardless if you’re sweating, jogging or anything in between. The brand also claims they’re glare-reducing and polarized. And if the tortoise design isn’t your thing, the style comes in other lens and frame colors, too.
Bombas Women’s All-Purpose Performance Ankle Socks

The design process behind these ankle socks reads as scientific. Why? They have a unique left-right contour so that each individual sock fits perfectly on each foot. There’s also what the brand calls their Honeycomb Arch Support System which provides a firm yet comfortable hug around your midfoot.
Lululemon Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Crewneck Long-Sleeve Shirt

If you’re a fan of Lululemon’s Nulu fabric, this long-sleeve crewneck is a must in your fitness wardrobe. It’s soft like butter, sweat-wicking, quick-trying and has the right amount of stretch, according to the brand, for every type of exercise.
Hoka Mach X

For all the runners out there, Hoka claims that their Mach X sneaker is the perfect pair to wear for casual runs and competitive races. The foam is more resilient, the fabric is softer and the overall performance (especially as you grow endurance during your jogs) is more adaptive than ever, compared to similar styles from the brand.
Nike Strength Dumbbells

These Nike dumbbells offer the best of both worlds: A robust and sculpted rubber for durability as you lift, and knurled handle for added security. Size ranges from five pounds to 95 lbs for all strength levels, and start at $17.50 for a single or $20 for a set.
Tangerine Hunter Classic Pickleball Bag

We might just get into the sport now that we’ve seen this retro-inspired pickleball bag. But if you’re actually a practiced fanatic, you’ll enjoy all that the tote offers: A sidecar pocket to hold two paddles, a heavyweight canvas fabric, a water-resistant nylon interior and other premium hardware and detailing.
Bodyglide for Her Anti-Chafe and Moisturizing Balm

Chafing can ruin a good workout, but this moisturizing balm promises to protect and soothe any places where skin rubs together. The ingredients are filled with vitamins A, B, E and F to suit even the most sensitive skin types without the greasy residue. It comes in various sizes to easily stow in your gym bag or carry-on.
