The Fit List: Fitness must-haves and natural alternatives

Autumn is a great time for a fitness reset.

In many ways, the new season feels like a second chance to start the year again – and you can redouble your fitness efforts, unfreeze your gym membership, and dust off those trainers.

So, if you’re serious about upping your fitness game this month, you’ll probably need to invest in some new gear.

Whether you’re after gym kit or protein-rich snacks, soothing post-gym care or nourishing plant-based alternatives, here are our hottest fitness pics:

Up and running

CrossFit athlete Sara Sigmundsdottir has launched her own line of fitness apparel with British retailer WIT Fitness. The full WIT x SIGMUNDSDOTTIR collection doesn’t launch until January 2022, but there’s a pre-release capsule collection available now.

There’s the usual suspects including squat-proof leggings alongside stylish items like asymmetric cut sports bras.

From £30, wit-fitness.com

Stay in zinc with rockin’ roller

The Brushworks Zinc Roller is designed to speed up circulation, reduce puffiness and aid lymphatic drainage.

Thanks to the zinc material, it also has anti-inflammatory properties so it is good for acne, rosacea and eczema, too.

Available September 20. £29.99, soinvogue.com

Say cheese, go vegan

Vegan cheese brand Nurishh is the latest to hit shelves. The plant-based alternatives are Vegan Society approved, lactose-free and gluten-free.

There’s a Mozzarella Block, a cheddar and mozzarella style grated blend and an alternative to Camembert.
