It’s true what they say: fitness makes you feel good. Sometimes it’s a labor of love: the early wake up calls, sweaty workout classes, and discipline required to meet your goals. But then there’s also the sweet rush of endorphins, steady signs of progress, and the realization that you’re stronger than you think.
As a health and fitness editor, I’m a firm believer that certain products can make the tough moments easier and the good moments even more satisfying. Maybe it’s a pair of sneakers that eases the pain of your weekly long runs. Or perhaps it’s the cute matching set that gives you the confidence to head back to the gym after a brief hiatus. Whatever the case may be, we want to celebrate the things that made us feel good this year. So, in honor of our first-ever Feel-Good Awards, we rounded up five of our own dopamine-inducing fitness favorites.
The Feel-Good Awards winners are all vetted by PS staffers and hand-chosen from 2,138 products tested across beauty, home, sex, health, and fitness. These are the products that genuinely lit up our lives in 2025, delivering an extra hit of dopamine when the world needed it most. Read on for the fitness winners, and see why our editors just can’t get enough.
