THE JANUARY RESET 2027 · Our series on starting the year well, one shelf, drawer and gym bag at a time.
No clothes on this list, only the kit that makes a home workout or a studio class easier: a mat you want to unroll, weights you will actually pick up, and something for sore muscles afterwards. The yoga specialists are here (Manduka, Liforme, Jade, Gaiam), along with the Pilates names (Pvolve, Bala, Adanola), the recovery brands (Therabody, Hyperice, TriggerPoint) and a few bags to carry it all. Prices run from $18 to a splurge-level $1,499.
The Shopping List is an independent editorial selection, for reference only. Ayerhs Magazine does not sell these products and does not earn a commission from any link on this page.
