    31 Problem-Solving Products That Fitness Enthusiasts Actually Swear By

    Adjustable weights, FlipBelts with phone storage, and more essentials that'll level up any workout.

    1. A FlipBelt so you don't have to carry anything when you go running on a sidewalk or trail. It has four pockets that'll securely hold your AirPods case, cards, keys, and phone. You can finally focus on your mileage without losing essential items.

    2. A pack of dumbbell exercise cards to mix up your indoor training routine with weighted planks, thrusters, and shoulder presses galore. You'll never know what's coming up next in the deck and your arms, legs, and core will be like "hello, where have you been all my life?"

    3. A set of adjustable weights so you can gradually work on your lifting skills at home. With multiple weight levels (from 2.3 pounds to 4.5 pounds), you can give your biceps and deltoids the ultimate treatment during exercise sessions.

    4. Or heavier adjustable dumbbells, if you're ready to level up your strength training sessions. Lift between 2.5 pounds to 15 pounds with this set that'll be great for arm-focused workouts and easily fit in your home gym. No more using multiple sets anytime you're ready to break a sweat.

    5. A Brrrn board that'll be perfect for exercising in your small living space. It's adjustable from five to six feet, lets you complete workouts via sliding movements (more on that below), *and* fits under a couch when you're not using it.

    6. Anti-chafing thigh bands to wear during high-intensity exercises. These lil' helpers are made to reduce sweat and chafing, and easily slip under activewear bottoms. Raise your hand if you're done dealing with irritated thighs after working out.

    7. And an anti-chafe balm that'll help keep other parts of your body safe (like underarms and feet) from skin rubbing issues including irritation and redness.

    8. High-rise pocket leggings so perfect for basically every type of workout session, you'll be thinking "where have you been all my life?" They check off all the boxes for design (moss, plum, and more chic shades for your activewear wardrobe), compression (yes, they'll actually stay up when you exercise), and functionality (two roomy pockets to hold your cell phone and keys).

    9. Resistance bands because they'll give your legs and butt one heck of a workout and wake up major muscles. They come in five resistance levels (X-Light, Light, Medium, Heavy, and X-Heavy) if you're looking for challenge and want to *feel the burn* while you're squatting and lunging away.

    10. A sturdy foam roller to help soothe tight muscles after kickboxing, running on the treadmill, and more indoor workouts. It has triple grid massage zones that'll get to work on all sore areas, so you can enjoy your post-workout recovery time.

    11. A stationary bike with comfy seating, adjustable resistance, a multi-functional display, and a space-saving design. You may not be in the studio, but you can have a fun solo cycling session indoors.

    12. A high-impact sports bra that'll provide you with amazing support, thanks to criss-cross straps that keep your boobs in place, even if you're doing HIIT or running hard. Buh-bye bouncing and shifting during spring workouts, it's been real.

    13. A splurge-worthy Treadly 2 Pro Treadmill, so you don't have to cancel your workout on rainy or way-too-hot summer days. You can walk or jog up to 5 mph, move the handrail up or down (and yes, this means you can walk on the treadmill even with the rail *all the way down on the floor* for workouts), and track your daily progress in the Treadly App.

    14. Core sliders for days when you want to give your abs the ultimate treatment. Your transverse abdominis and obliques will be *on fire* after using these helpers for planks, push-ups, and mountain climbers.

    15. A pair of fitness gloves because your hands need a little protection from blisters and calluses. Slip these babies on for weight training and pull-ups and crush your workout with ease.

    17. A Booty Kicker that'll ~raise the bar~ for barre classes. Perfect for reverse lifts and Plié squats, this fold-flat piece of equipment is durable as hell thanks to gripping rubber feet and a steel construction design. If you're over using a chair to work your glutes and inner thighs, this gem will be a big help.

    18. Compression socks, because you want to keep leg swelling at bay and run comfortably for long periods of time. They're also made with a breathable material to prevent moisture from getting in the way of your sweat session.

    19. A pair of performance joggers that'll minimize sweat while you hit up the treadmill or do barre in your living room. They're made with a comfy, moisture-wicking fabric to help you stay dry during your fitness routine. Repeat after me: No. More. Sweat. Stains.

    20. A Garmin Running Watch with a GPS feature that'll track your distance, speed, and route, monitor your heart rate, and provide vibrating notifications for workout milestones. If you'd like to track your progress for shorter runs *or* long distance training, this gadget will get the job done no matter what your level is.

    Promising review: "I have been using this watch for a few weeks now and am very pleased with it. I wanted this watch primarily for the GPS function while running, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the consistency with which it reports my mileage. I walked the same route on three consecutive days to see if the watch reported the same distance, and the watch indicated I had reached the one mile mark within ten or so yards each day. When I finish a run or a walk and sync my watch with my phone, I'm able to view my route on my phone, along with my pace and a color-coded indicator of the faster and slower portions of my run." —katethegreat

    Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in four styles).

    21. A nonslip yoga towel for your hot yoga sessions: It not only comes in cute colors, but helps absorb sweat and prevents sliding. Flowing from one pose to the next will be a breeze with this workout essential.

    22. A Ubarre weight that'll add a little more oomph to your boring Pilates session and double up as a chic piece of home decor. Use it while you do lunges, twists, and more toning exercises on your balcony or driveway.

    23. A time-marked water bottle to keep track of your daily H2O intake. Staying hydrated is key during workouts and this container will let you know if you're drinking enough water.

    24. An adjustable weight bench for various dumbbell exercises. With seven back positions and three seat positions, you can comfortably sit and lay on your back while you're completing bicep curls or chest presses. No more using the floor or a flimsy chair when you want to work on your upper body.

    25. A punching bag set so you can do a fast workout that'll get your arms in great shape *and* help you relieve some stress. It even comes with gloves, so you can easily create your own boxing setup indoors or outdoors, and pretend like you're the star of your very own Rocky.

    26. A Core Max 2.0 because you'll get to work your abs, arms, and legs with this versatile piece of equipment. You can do crunches, push-ups, and more bodyweight movements with this compact device that'll help you exercise when it's raining outside.

    29. Push-up bars that'll feel way better than dumbbells or bare hands when you're doing push-ups on the floor. Each handle gives you a solid grip and rotates as you go down, so you're not slipping and sliding. Doing push-ups on your knees? No problem, these small helpers will be great for those too.

    30. A portable rowing machine because your arms and back will *feel the burn* while you enjoy an upper body workout anywhere indoors. Use the digital monitor to keep track of stats (count total, time, and calories) and fold it up when you're done. (You don't even need a big home gym to squeeze in a sweat session!)

    31. And Adjustable Bala Bangles to add a lil' resistance (not to mention style) to your barre or Zumba sessions. These bracelet-like babies weigh one pound each, but they'll help boost strength whenever you're doing cardio or strength training. Just slide them on your wrists or ankles for a little workout pick-me-up.
