Activewear brand founded by “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Erika Hammond now shipping orders from Barrett’s Somerset, N.J., facility

FRANKLIN, Mass., Oct. 29, 2026 — Barrett Distribution Centers, a leading national third-party logistics provider, today announced a new partnership with P.S. Active, the premium activewear brand founded by fitness entrepreneur Erika Hammond. Barrett is providing eCommerce fulfillment and transportation for P.S. Active from its facility in Somerset, N.J. 


Hammond started P.S. Active after more than a decade in the fitness industry, when she realized she had never asked what her own workout clothes were made of. Most performance apparel uses synthetic, petroleum-based fabrics. P.S. Active uses fabrics made from plant-derived materials instead. The line is designed in New York and made in Portugal.


“As a founder, you spend years obsessing over every detail of your brand, from the product itself to the experience your customer has when they receive their order,” said
Erika Hammond, founder and CEO of P.S. Active and a cast member on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City.” “We were looking for a fulfillment partner that understood premium apparel, felt like an extension of our team and shared that same commitment to quality. From our very first conversations, Barrett stood out for their responsiveness, expertise and collaborative approach. They’ve been an incredible partner throughout the process, and we’re excited to work together as we bring P.S. Active to customers.”


Barrett is picking, packing and shipping P.S. Active’s online orders and managing transportation from its Somerset facility. Barrett also fulfills orders for apparel, footwear and consumer product brands across its network of distribution centers.


“From my first conversation with Erika, I knew P.S. Active was the right fit for Barrett,” said
Harrison Smith, director of commercial revenue at Barrett. “She’s built a premium brand with a clear point of view on what goes into activewear, and our job is to make sure every order arrives the way she designed it. We’re excited to be getting P.S. Active into customers’ hands.”


P.S. Active orders are now shipping from Barrett. Shop at shoppsactive.com.

About P.S. Active


P.S. Active is a premium activewear brand founded by fitness entrepreneur Erika Hammond after more than a decade in the fitness industry. After years of living in activewear, Erika realized she'd never stopped to question what those fabrics were actually made of—or what she was sweating in every day. P.S. Active was born from a simple belief: what you sweat in matters. The brand exists to redefine the standard for performance apparel by moving beyond the industry's reliance on synthetic, petroleum-based fabrics and creating elevated activewear with thoughtfully selected materials derived from plants—proving that premium performance doesn't have to depend on plastic-first design. Designed in New York and manufactured in Portugal, P.S. Active brings together better-for-you materials, uncompromising performance, and elevated design—creating activewear women can feel good about wearing every day.
