Promising review: "I bought a hula hoop before but it was not easy to use. I never turned it around until I bought this product. I use it every day, and the quality is reliable." —Karina Amaya

Promising review: "I had been really struggling to hit my water goal each day, only managing it twice in all of June. But then I saw this beautiful ombre water bottle in a fitness group I'm a part of. I haven't missed my water goal since having it! Apparently the first-world problem of getting up to refill my water glass frequently throughout the day with cold, clean water from the kitchen was a serious barrier to my water intake. Having my daily goal (or most of it) with me at all times makes it so easy to make sure I'm drinking enough and I also use the goal times on the side to help keep me on track. The straw is removable and pops up when you open the hinged section of the lid. I loved it so much my boyfriend also got one and I've recommended it, and also seen it recommended by others several times, on the fitness boards. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I just received my stepper and it's super easy to assemble and it's sturdy. I tested it out and I am super excited for my first workout. This is the perfect machine; while we stay at home we can still work out and stay healthy. I highly recommend this mini stepper. Enjoy your workouts!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "LOVE!! These are awesome! I got them for running. I loved it as soon as I took it out of the package, the material is similar to stretchy tights and is very comfortable. It doesn’t compress or squeeze your head super tightly. There’s two rubber tracks on the inside that stretch with the fabric and keep it securely in place and the headband doesn’t slip off when you move or sweat. I have thick, fine hair so that may be a factor but usually that makes it more difficult for things to stay in my hair. There’s a mesh section in the middle to allow for heat to evaporate. The outside logo reflects bright lights." —anndobr

Promising review: "I have been looking for ways to work out at home. I saw this ab roller and decided to order it. OMG, it was very easy to assemble and within a few moments I was able to start rolling! I did as many reps as humanly possible the first time and I could feel the muscles going to work! The next day I went to use it and I could NOT because my ab muscles were so so sore (which was a good thing! It's working). My abs don't hurt just walking around, but when I go to do the ab roller, I can feel every single ab muscle I have!" —DH

Promising review: "I love the design of the backs of this sports bra. I did burpees, jump squats, and jumping jacks and everything stayed in place! I also appreciated not having to dislocate my shoulder trying to take the sports bra off. It came off easily without the normal struggle of high-support bras that are so tight, you sometimes have to ask for help. After my workout, I immediately bought two more in different colors." —Jessica A. Johnson

Promising review: "I really wanted an exercise machine I could use at home for the days I don't make it to the gym. However, I also have a small apartment with limited floor and storage space. I love that this bike fits snugly against the wall when not in use without sacrificing comfort or sturdiness in order to be compact. It is quiet, smooth, tracks everything I want to track, has appropriate resistance, and still works great six months later." —Jamie Tanner

Promising review: "Overall, if you want something to help motivate you to get moving and develop better sleep habits, I think this is a great purchase. My battery usually lasts at least a week and charges pretty quickly. I didn't want a smartwatch or to overpay for the simple features I was interested in so the Inspire 2 was perfect for me!" —Morgan

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves these bangles and said: "I've bought, used, and then promptly forgotten about wrist/ankle weights before but I ADORE these.

These are the only biker shorts I own and I probably own at least five pairs. They are such a steal for the price and keep me supported through workouts and even just as a great day-to-day short option. If you could see me, I'm giving these a standing ovation rn.
Promising review: "These shorts are perfect. I trained for and completed an Ironman in these shorts. I have four pairs of them. They are great at wicking sweat, they stay in place, fit with a compression that keeps them fitted yet not uncomfortable, and the side pocket is absolutely perfect to keep your phone, ID, or snacks handy. Nothing has slid out of the side pockets." —Shannon McDougall

Promising review: "I wore this belt on a 13-mile run today and it is just what I needed! I filled up both water bottles, and the belt did bounce around a little at first and nearly rode up my waist, but after I tightened it all the way and drank some of the liquid, it didn't move much at all. I stored a baggie of snacks, my phone (without the case), and tissues in the front pouch, and was able to access everything while running relatively hassle free. Great purchase, well worth the money!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
Promising review: "I love it! The design is clean and simple. The games are basic, but still keep me in a plank longer than normal. I like the workout part, basically 30-second intervals of different exercises, you pick how many 30-second segments you want to do at a time. There is a daily challenge, too. I would be bored to tears after one 40-second regular plank, I do over six minutes plus at each session on this and you really feel it strengthening your core." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $119.
Promising review: "I love this yoga towel. It's thicker than some of my others, which I prefer. I think this is the reason it doesn't bunch up during my class. It stays perfectly smooth. I spray it with water before the start of class and, presto! It's perfect! I don't slip and I don't have to bother with towel bunching up under my hands or feet. Also, great quality and beautiful colors." —Amazon Customer

My colleague Emma McAnaw loves these headphones and said,
"These Beats headphones have been a real game changer for me. The sound quality is SO MUCH better than my cheap headphones, which has actually really improved my experience while working out. I find it easier to stay motivated now that my music is *crystal clear* (and I can't hear myself wheezing)... They can hold a charge for a pretty long time, as long you always store them in their charging case. I usually use them for a full workday without needing to recharge them." —Emma McAnaw

Promising review: "I am a runner. I run after work and when it gets dark early I worry about traffic and other pedestrians. These bands are lightweight and extremely visible. The band can either be on with a solid light or flashing. I have found the flashing to be more visible. I like this product so much I have bought several for other family members and I will attach one to my arm and another to my leg. I would highly recommend for anyone running at night. The battery appears easy to change. I say appears because the battery that came with the unit is still going strong." —Siilverback

Promising review: "Hat is very comfortable, breathable. I tend to sweat wearing any hats and the fabric doesn’t do that for me. The light is really bright and haven’t found a reason to use it yet but it’s great to know if I need it, it’s there. I will update in the future if there’s more to say. Get it. Price is a steal." —Andrew Newhook

Promising review: "Tribit StormBox does indeed live up to its name. The power-packed speaker boasts of an incredible design along with a strap that can be used to attached it to almost anywhere. It goes well with my bag or table or the fan stand. The sound quality is so top notch that I stopped using my TV speakers and connected to Tribit StormBox for the sound! The charge stays for a great deal of time in terms of battery life and the sound quality is top notch. Had no issues with the Bluetooth connectivity. It connects like a charm." —Sebin Pullukatt

I'm no expert (have not picked up a jump rope since elementary school), but I love having a rope at home to practice with that I can size to my needs. This feels like a quality product and I prefer it to the ones available at my gym." —Tiffany

It's also reflective so oncoming folks and vehicles can see you AND it's machine washable!
Promising review: "Love my FlipBelt. It fits my iPhone 7 that has an OtterBox on it, and did not budge once during my 6-mile run. At the 4-mile mark, I even tried adjusting it because I thought there's no way this thing is staying in place so well, and it was still in the exact same spot as when I started my run. I also noticed I was able to run faster than usual and I think it's because I was concentrating on holding my phone with its massive case on it. If you're in between sizes, I suggest going a size down. Can't wait to wear this for my upcoming half-marathons in the fall!" —kel07
Get it from Amazon for $22.43+ (available in XXS–XXL and 11 colors).
Promising review: "My first time wearing this was for my first half-marathon and it worked great. I have an iPhone 7 and the case has openings for all different jacks on the side and center of the phone. The screen protector allows you to use the touchscreen and the band was great and held tight. I absolutely love it and can't wait to use it for trail runs as the weather gets better!" —Amazon Customer
