The way we exercise has changed after COVID. People are less likely to sign up for gym memberships in order to keep fit and healthy. Instead, they opt for home-gym or virtual classes that provide real results in a convenient, cost-effective way. You don’t have to settle for inferior products or services if you’re willing to spend less on boutique fitness, gym memberships, or in-person self care.
Our fitness lab put a lot of effort into selecting the best workout gear and other health products that can withstand tough workouts. This will make it worth your time and allow you to feel more confident year after year.
Fitbit Charge 5
The Fitbit Charge 5 is a fitness tracker that tracks all aspects of your health, including sleep, exercise, and stress. The Fitbit Charge 5 not only tracks your steps but also reminds you to exercise. Sleep tracking is precise and allows you to review your sleep phases, heart rate and estimated oxygen variation. It not only tracks your sleep habits but also reminds you to get up before bedtime. The Charge 5 includes electrodermal activity sensors to help you evaluate your stress levels. These Fitbit ratings can be viewed in the app on a scale from one to 100.
Peloton Bike+
Peloton Bike+ is synonymous with “home exercise bike”. This is because of the live streaming and on-demand classes, and the engaged community. It is simple to use thanks to its adjustability in size, swiveling screen (so that you can take off-bike lessons without having to crane your neck), as well as the “auto-follow” setting which adjusts the resistance to match the instructor’s cues. Peloton’s classes have unrivalled quality and quantity. We had so much fun that we forgot we were pedaling.
Lululemon Reversible Mat 5mm
The Reversible Mat 5mm by Lululemon is our favourite yoga mat. The mat has the perfect amount of cushion to give your joints a comfortable landing, and enough support so you don’t wobble when you balance. The textured natural rubber base and tactile polyurethane finish give it a great grip, no matter which side is facing up. This makes it ideal for yoga and other forms of exercise like ab work.
Bowflex SelectTech 552
Apart from the space-saving aspect, adjustable dumbbells are designed to be used for your entire workout with whatever weight is appropriate for each exercise. You want a smooth transition from one weight to another. Bowflex’s SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells are our top choice. They’re simple to adjust and rack, easy to hold and comfortable, and they have the smallest weight increments, making them ideal for many exercises.
Hydrow Wave
The Hydrow Wave rowing machine can be a great addition to any home gym. It’s fun and efficient, and it’s a great way to get a workout in. This sleek rower is a smaller version of the original Hydrow. It brings the fun and camaraderie that comes with training on the water indoors, as well as the ability to stream workouts from top-tier instructors in exotic locations around the globe. You can access cross-training classes such as yoga, strength, and resistance with your subscription.
NordicTrack Commercial 1750
Treadmills are classic cardio equipment. However, they don’t have to be basic. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has a range of resistance levels, from a -3% drop to a 15% incline. It also features a large belt that allows for long strides and a firm yet flexible belt that can be used for easy runs, walks, or sprint intervals. The treadmill’s touchscreen screen of 10 inches connects to iFit, allowing for guided running and walking sessions. These sessions are filmed in stunning locations and led by top running coaches.
