Who doesn’t love wearing new gear to the gym? With some of the fashionable options available now, you can go straight from your workout to lunch with friends, or even to the bar.

With all the Christmas goodies (did someone say mince pies?), it’s a relief to know there’s a pair of comfy, yet sexy, gym pants that can still help you rock the gym bunny look. These Alo Yoga High-Waist Moto Leggings are lifting and sculpting, thanks to the ultra-luxe mix of matte/shine fabric and forward mesh panels. Did we mention the hold-it-in five-inch waistband? Be assured that you can squat ‘til you drop and they will still hold everything in. We love them in black but, with over 15 colours to choose from, why stop at one pair?

Okay, we know a foam roller isn’t the most romantic gift in the world, but it is genuinely thoughtful. While going for a massage is always lovely, having a home massager available anytime is even better. We love the Trigger Point GRID or the Rumble Roller for their ability to release tight knots and muscles (all done in the comfort of your own home). The pattern technology allows you to recover more quickly and stay injury-free by channelling blood and oxygen into those weary muscles. Pick from various colours and styles for different degrees of intensity. If you really want to take it up a notch, treat yourself or a loved one to a motorised foam roller that will keep rumbling for hours.

Rumble Rollers, available in-store or online at Escapade Sports

The days of rubber band fitness trackers are long gone. Say hello to a new wave of devices that track everything from your heart rate to your sleep pattern, to the number of steps you take. You can even stay connected to the outside world with smartwatch options. What better incentive to walk instead of taking a taxi or bus? We love the new Fitbit Charge 3 which is water resistant, and user-friendly, featuring continuous heart rate tracking, GPS, a handy touchscreen and a female health tracker. Oh, and not forgetting the personalized breathing exercises for those of us looking to unwind after all the Christmas madness – time for an upgrade!

Check out these incredibly stylish rings by Motiv (in silver, rose gold and black) which look so good, you’d never realise their purpose is actually to track your every move. It monitors heart rate, activity, and sleep, is less than 0.1 inch thick and weighs less than a piece of paper. The clean, minimalist design is incognito (unless you choose to show it off). You’ll be emailed the sizing guide once you place an order to ensure the perfect fit.

We love the feminine colours and with new festive colours due out soon, there will be a pair for everyone. These shoes are designed for a life in motion.

Every gym goer wants a pair of funky earphones these days, and it seems the bigger the better! Get your groove on with these Dre Beats wireless headphones which are guaranteed to put a spring in your step. At Sassy, we love the Beats Studio3 Wireless ($2,288) for the full wraparound effect featuring pure adaptive noise cancelling (simply perfect for long flights OR when you just want to zone out in the gym, or anywhere else for that matter). Our favourite colour is Desert Sand. Want a smaller version? The Beats Solo3 wireless ($2,888) are designed to fit to the ears and offer a wider range of colours (we love Satin Gold or the Defiant Red for some serious gym attitude). The Studio provides up to 22 hours and the Solo up to 40 hours battery life. Premium sound and multi-function ear controls allow you to take calls (or reject them), control music and speak to Siri.
