1. An ab roller so you can ~roll~ your way to a stronger core on your bedroom floor. If you need a break from your go-to crunches and sit-ups, this gadget will put your muscles to work in less time than a typical ab circuit.
Promising review: "I had been pretty inactive for about six months, and all at the same time, I started eating healthy, working out four to five times per week, and incorporating home ab workouts with the Ab Carver Pro. I've used it about three to four times per week for the past six weeks and I have noticed a drastic improvement in my core strength and ab definition. Now, I also do occasional ab workouts at the gym with other exercise routines, but this has been a great supplemental tool to work on my core. I would recommend to anyone, especially if you're tired of doing sit-ups!" —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
2. Or core sliders for times when you want to work your abs in as little as five minutes. Your transverse abdominis and obliques will be *on fire* after using these helpers for planks, push-ups, and mountain climbers.
Promising review: "These gliding disc core sliders have been working out great! They are definitely taking my workouts to a new level and making me use my core like never before! You can definitely feel the burn while working out with them and target muscles that don’t normally get as much attention!" —Coleen
Get them from Amazon for $10.95 (available in five colors).
3. A set of three resistance bands so you can gradually strengthen your butt and legs. You'll get a light, medium, and heavy resistance band that'll level up squats, donkey kicks, and more lower body movements. And, they fit in your gym bag so you can take them with you for your next sweat sesh!
Promising reviews: "I love that the resistance bands are made from a woven material and not plastic. This really boosts their durability. The three resistance ratings (light, medium, and heavy) are appropriately challenging. They come with a nice drawstring bag, for traveling or on the go. I have been using them consistently for three weeks and I am already noticing gradual results. Would recommend!" —Renee
"I was pleasantly surprised. I actually saw this product recommended on TikTok and I had to try them. I absolutely love them. They're very durable. Comfortable and the level of stretch is perfect. I wasn't expecting a storage bag or workout booklet. Would definitely recommend!!" —Josie Chavez
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three color combos).
4. A weighted fitness hoop that'll give you a fun workout basically anywhere at home. This adjustable gem will take you straight back to P.E. class as you move your hips to your favorite Spotify playlist. Added bonus? Your core will also be FEELING IT thanks to the attached 3-pound weight.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Like everyone else I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a shot. Super fun to use. I'll admit it's difficult to start but once you get the hang of it after a few minutes it's super easy and fun. It is a little loud but nothing unbearable. The pieces are easy to add to, and the weight is not too heavy or light." —Richard Enriquez
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 14 colors).
5. Exercise dice with 36 different workouts to try: Roll from two orange dice for HIIT movements like mountain climbers and lateral lunges *or* a green dice for stretches and yoga poses. Never again will you be bored doing the same routine, because there will be so many combo circuits to try with this cool set!
Fitness instructors also swear by these dice for group workouts!
Promising reviews: "These are so cool, and I never knew they existed. My wife started shouting, 'Those are so cool? Where did you get those? I love them.' She works out about 50 minutes a day, six days a week. She immediately started rolling these every morning for her workout. And, she posted pictures of these to show all her workout friends on Facebook within about 10 minutes of getting them. She had to promise to bring them into the gym so everyone could see them. Do not hesitate to pick these up if you do these kinds of exercises or you work out in small groups." —Andrew A. Russell
"I teach fitness classes for both children and adults. I love the variety of exercises on the various dice. The quality is great and have added an element of fun to my group classes!" —Kristen M. Dallhoff
Get a set of three from Amazon for $27.95.
6. Or a pack of dumbbell exercise cards that'll mix up your fitness training 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?"
Not about dumbbells? No worries, because there are other exercise card decks that focus on bodyweight movements, gym equipment, and resistance bands.
Promising review: "I bought these to get some new ideas to mix up my gym routine. I got a lot of new ideas from these cards. Some were reminders of ones I already know, but there are a bunch of really interesting ones that I've been mixing in. The countless combinations you can create is making my workouts more fun and motivating." —Paisley
Get it from Amazon for $16.25+ (available in 20 volumes).
7. An acupressure mat and pillow set because your bod is so dang tight after exercising basically every day. It can help reduce tension, thanks to over 7,000 (!!!) small acupressure points that target muscles. Lay down on both for 10 to 30 minutes if you need a little relief.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Y'all I hardly ever write reviews, but love reading them before I buy something. I work out 6/7 days a week and my muscles are so tight and sore. This mat is not playing!! As soon as I got it I wanted to try it and oh boy! Let me tell you, it works. Once you lay down you feel little pokes, but wait, that's nothing. It gets more and more intense, but in a good way. After the initial little pokes your body slowly starts to warm up and the pokes get more intense as your muscles relax and sink further into the mat. You will eventually get so hot that you feel like you can't handle it anymore then boom all of a sudden it feels so good." —C Lee
Get it from Amazon for $28.13+ (available in 13 colors).
8. 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.
Another cool feature of this FlipBelt is that it's reflective, so it'll be helpful if you run in low visibility conditions. Love running on trails with wet branches and mud? No problem, because you can throw the FlipBelt in the washing machine when you're done working out.
Promising reviews: "I’m a big stadium runner and I do TONS of stairs/steps and it doesn’t budge. My keys, phone, and license all fit and I don’t worry about anything falling out. I can wear it under a T-shirt or over a tight tank. Will absolutely order again!" —Ilvia
"I bought this for a 75-mile relay style race and it worked out great! Fit nicely and never did I have any issue with it moving or riding up as I ran! Great to hold phone, cards, keys, or small water bottle." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in XXS–XXL and 13 colors).
9. A Kettle Gryp that'll turn any weight into a kettlebell for strength training workouts. If you don't have a kettlebell around and would like to combine both kettlebell and free weight movements into one workout, it's so easy: place it around a weight, close it up, and you're good to go. You can complete squats, leg raises, and more exercises without having to buy a set of kettlebells.
Promising reviews: "I've been looking for a product like this for a while. My career requires me to be a road warrior traveling every week Monday to Thursday and staying at hotels. Most hotels have at least dumbbells, but very few have kettlebells. This worked like a charm and I was able to bang out kettlebell swings no problem. I did find a competing product but never bit the bullet and bought it. It is made out of cast iron, weighed nearly 8 pounds, and cost around $150. I found this product on Amazon and not only is it dramatically cheaper, it is plastic and easily fits in my carry-on. Product feels solid while in use. The dumbbell does not slip or move at all within the handle. Between this product and the TRX Go, I have a portable gym that fits into my carry-on and allows me to have a great workout even if I’m stuck in hotel with a terrible gym." —Dennis
"This is awesome! Solved my problem of wanting kettlebells in various different weights I already had in dumbbells! Have used it every day and it is just what I expected." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95.
10. A digital jump rope so you can keep track of how many circles you jump at a time *and* check your progress. Instead of hopping on a treadmill for an express workout, you can complete a fun, heart-pumping cardio session right in your living room or driveway.
Promising review: "I bought this thanks to a TikTok influencer, and honestly, I'm glad I did. I wanted a way to exercise that was both fun and did not include going into a gym, and a jump rope seemed the perfect solution. I love the counter — that was the draw — but it also counts your calories and the amount of time that you've spent jumping to track your progress. I will say jumping rope is not as easy as I remember as a child, but I'm excited to continue using this product and get better and better at it. Definitely worth the purchase." —Nicole Osti
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight colors).
11. An aerobic step platform that'll ~elevate~ your next workout if you're a little bored with the basics. Want to complete some cardio? This baby starts at 4 inches tall, but easily raises to six inches depending on the height you need! How about some push-ups or planks? Yep, you can do those too with it!
Reviewers also love this piece of equipment because it's sturdy — so you don't have to worry about sliding around while you're working out!
Promising review: "LOVE my new stepper. Been doing the workouts now for 3 weeks and love this step. It’s flat for when you sit on it or put your hands on it for push ups/planks, etc. It’s sturdy too and easy to move. I absolutely love this stepper and highly recommend it for exercisers." —angelcourtney9
Get it from Amazon for $28.98+ (available in four colors).
12. And a weighted workout bar to ~step up~ any aerobics routine. Instead of doing regular butt kicks or jumping jacks for your legs, you can add this piece of equipment to work out your arms and core too!
Promising review: "There is so much you can do with this bar I’m so glad I ordered it! I got the 20-pound bar and I would definitely consider getting both a lighter and heavier bar to switch it up for different exercises. I really love this in place of dumbbells and it’s been fun finding different ways to use it. If you get this bar there’s really nothing else you need" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $33.49 (also available in more weight sizes).
13. A versatile mat you'll be so glad you bought for workouts — it's designed to fold into fourths, so you'll have great cushioning for your arms and legs no matter what moves you're doing. It's made with thick and supportive material and you'll be comfy while completing lunges, planks, or crunches.
Stakt is a woman-founded small business specializing in workout mats!
BuzzFeed editor Abby Kass loves this fitness essential and said: "I first came across this mat while scrolling TikTok and thought it was such a cool idea. Ever since I saw it, it has been on my wishlist. Rolling up a yoga mat can be so challenging sometimes, especially when you're in the middle of the workout and need some extra support on your wrist while in plank. This mat folds up in fourths, so you can give your knees or hands some extra padding. Plus, it's way easier to store flat. It's also two times thicker than the average yoga mat."
Get it from Stakt for $86 (available in three colors).
14. A compact, foldable treadmill for a cardio session that doesn't involve you leaving the house. Run with the riser up or switch it down if you want to walk. It also doesn't make a lot of noise, so your neighbors won't hear every step you take.
Promising review: "I freaking love this treadmill. I keep it leaned against a wall when I’m not using it. I unfold it and set it up, turn on the TV on my days/nights off, and I walk for hours without realizing it. It’s the best purchase I’ve made in years! The royal blue is sleek-looking and it’s so easy to use. This makes a perfect way to get moving on rainy days or when squeezing the gym in between errands and tasks is not an option. I’ve already got my friends thinking about getting them for work. I use it basically every day." —Jessica Goeltz
Get it from Amazon for $355.99+ (available in seven colors).
15. Adjustable Bala Bangles that'll add a lil' resistance (not to mention style) to your fitness classes. These bracelet-like accessories weigh 1 pound each, but they'll help boost strength whenever you're doing cardio or a barre workout.
Just wrap them on your wrists or ankles for a little workout pick-me-up.
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. They're really nice looking (as you can see) and I've never had trouble with them coming off my wrists or ankles during HIIT workouts." Read more of her Bala Bangles review (it's #7).
Get it from Amazon (available in two sizes and eight styles) or Bala (available in two sizes and nine colors) for $55+.
16. A Fitbit Inspire 2 fitness tracker to monitor your heart rate, count steps, and observe calories burned while you exercise. You can even access your health data with Fitbit Premium (you'll get a one-year trial with your purchase), which can help you stick to fitness goals and see your progress in an easy-to-read format.
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 over pay for the simple features I was interested in so the Inspire 2 was perfect for me!" —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $56.40+ (available in three colors).
17. A NordicTrack exercise bike because you can still have a great cycling session without having to deal with weather changes (especially if it's getting colder outdoors). Bring the studio to your home with this piece of equipment that has a touchscreen display, 22 resistance levels, and a 30-day iFit membership to stream live and on-demand workouts. An added bonus? Two three-pound weights in case you'd like to cross-train!
Promising review: "My wife and I have been in the market for a stationary bike for well over a year. After spending time reading many reviews between the Peloton and the NordicTrack, I finally pulled the trigger on the NordicTrack and couldn't be happier. The bike was easy to install, taking about 30 minutes total for me.
Once installed, I was anxious to see how the training programs worked and how realistic it compared to being in front of a real trainer. I'm not in great shape so opted for a 'beginner' series. I've always loved Moab and there is a beginning series with a trainer named Nicole with various rides in the Moab area.
Not only are the rides fantastic and a great workout, but Nicole is also a motivator who keeps you going even when you feel you're at your max. I would STRONGLY recommend the beginner Moab series for anybody first starting out on a stationary bike.
Beyond that, the bike performs excellent, is easy to use, has great features including a 4 stage fan that really gives you a full immersion experience, and is very sturdy even with my 235-pound frame. Needless to say, we are thrilled with the purchase and look forward to plenty of use." —Buzz
Get it from Amazon for $1,256.16+ (available in two display screen sizes and four models).
18. Or! A rolling desk bike so you can squeeze in some cardio while you WFH. It has a stand for your laptop, making it easy to pedal and type emails at the same time. Save some space and buy this piece of equipment that doubles up as a place for you to type, write, and hop on calls.
Check it out on TikTok here.
This rolling desk bike has eight resistance levels, so you can easily customize your workout while you sit and complete work-related things.
Promising review: "As many other folks have experienced, my team transitioned from working in an office setting to working remotely from home. For the most part, work productivity has increased, which has been a real plus; however, as far as my physical well-being, I felt like I was in the worst shape of my life. I happened to come across an ad for this TikTok desk bike and decided to make the purchase. What a little treasure! I am currently typing this review while I’m pedaling and have burned 680 calories since my first Zoom meeting this morning and it’s only noon. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed!!!" —Annie
Get it from Amazon for $499.99 (available in two colors).
19. A punching bag set because you need a healthy stress outlet and a quick workout that'll get your arms in amazing shape. It even comes with gloves, so you can easily create your own Rocky-inspired setup in your bedroom, living room, or driveway.
Promising review: "For the price this is fantastic! We're not athletes. But to have something fun to get us all moving and increasing our skills: focus, balance, body mechanics, punching, and cardio...it's great! We have ages 6 to 56 in our home using it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $53.56.
20. Push-up bars that'll feel way better than dumbbells or bare hands when you're doing sets of push-ups on the floor. Each handle gives you a solid grip, so you're not slipping and sliding when you're moving up and down.
Promising review: "The first time I used them, I felt burn (the good kind) in the back/neck area. I looked up a diagram of musculature online, and it corresponded precisely with the trapezius muscles. I know that a product can't cure lazy, but knowing that I'm doing push-ups the right way and being able to feel the results makes me want to do more push-ups." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $29.99.
21. A durable slam ball so you can try some CrossFit *or* build body strength during your routine. What's great about this piece of equipment is that it comes in different weights, so you can work with 10 pounds or 40 pounds depending on your fitness level. Complete squats, push-ups, planks, and more moves, plus hit multiple muscle groups.
Promising review: "This ball feels durable and the texture makes it easier to use. My 15-year-old and I both use it. We've thrown it, slammed it, done squats, various core exercises and push-ups with one hand on the ball. This adds variety and functional movements to your workout. I'm very happy with the purchase." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27+ (available in seven different weights and five colors).
22. A yoga mat with illustrated poses that'll help improve your flow with a little guidance! It shows 70 yoga positions that vary from Goddess Squat to Warrior III and makes it easy to quickly check on your form. Roll this baby out on the floor, stretch, and mix up your practice with a fun visual format.
This mat is 24” wide x 68" long and 5mm thick! It's also made with a moisture-wicking material that'll help keep sweat at bay while you're practicing yoga.
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this, and so does my seven-year-old! He and I enjoy doing the poses on the mat, and it helps me figure out which is being referred to by name. It's a great thickness, although I still use my kneeling pad for my old knees! As a beginner in the yoga world, this is perfect for staying on track and not feeling totally lost!! I would definitely buy again!" —Amazon Customer
"I’m a bit of a yogi who used to have an every day routine and I am trying to get back to that. The poses right on the mat allow you to self-direct your daily yoga however you want. This is a great mat and I already want to buy more for friends and fam!" —Emilee Zink
Get it from Amazon for $22.87+ (available in nine colors).
23. And a yoga wheel you'll ~wheely~ love for increasing mobility and strengthening inversions as your move through your practice. It helps to not only stretch your back but also release tension along your spine.
Promising review: "I absolutely love my UpCircleSeven Yoga Wheel. Before I purchased, I researched many different wheels and decided to choose this one. Let me tell you, I am not disappointed. This wheel has assisted me in so many yoga poses and has helped me to even strengthen my inversions. I am also a private yoga instructor and this wheel even assists me in my classes; whether beginner or advanced, this wheel serves an amazing purpose every time." —Jahnee
Get it from Amazon for $42.97 (available in eight colors and two lengths).
24. A fitness trampoline that'll give you an amazing workout on cardio days. Complete aerobic exercises on this piece of equipment that'll work your core, leg, and butt muscles, plus help improve your balance! 'Tis time to ~jump for joy~ and give your treadmill a little break.
Read more about the potential benefits of rebounding exercise!
Promising reviews: "Before I got this trampoline I was using a dinky rebounder that had springs, and let me tell you, the bungee chords on these trampolines make such a big difference! I wasn't expecting it to feel so much softer (and its quieter too)! I've been consistently using this rebounder 1-2x a week for over a year and it is still in such great condition. If you want to experience all the cardiovascular benefits of activities like running, but your body doesn't like all that impact, definitely try out rebounding. It's such a great way to not only get in your cardio, but strengthen your muscles." —Katrina Falor
"Exercise has never been so much fun. I use it every day! Excellent product, really happy with it. It’s very versatile, helps with balance and coordination, love it! And it’s quiet, so my downstairs neighbor is not annoyed. I purchased the 48”, so glad I did so I can do jumping jacks, etc." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $219.95 (available in two sizes and seven colors).
25. A Core Max 2.0 because you'll basically have a home gym without having to buy so much equipment. You can do crunches, push-ups, and multiple bodyweight movements with this compact device that'll help you ~work up a sweat~ in your apartment or studio.

Get it from Amazon for $76.50.
26. A set of 2-, 3-, and 5-pound weights to keep on hand for lots of workouts, including indoor barre and strength training. They won't slip out of your hands during reps, plus they come with a stand for easy storage. Lots of reviewers recommend them because they're durable and you can easily switch them up. Start small with two pounds or three pounds, or go up to five if you're feeling it!
Promising review: "These weights have the perfect coating that keeps your hands from slipping with a firm grip throughout your workout from start to finish. I bought the eight-pound pair and have had them for almost a year- no peeling of the rubber coating. Different color scheme makes it easy to switch weights quickly to a different weight. Would definitely purchase again!" —Timir
Get it from Amazon for $31.44+ (also available in sets of two and 11 other weight combinations).
27. Or! Adjustable dumbbells that'll help you level up your strength training sessions over time. Lift between 2.5 pounds to 15 pounds with this set which is great for arm-focused workouts. And you can skip having to reach for four different sizes of weights anytime you're ready to break a sweat.
Promising review: "These are exactly what I needed. I can use the lighter settings for workout classes and I am building my strength with the 10-lb settings. I am looking forward to the point when that is too easy and I move up to the heavier weights. The system is easy to use, simple to switch between weights, and was much less expensive than other brands. The handles are comfortable too." —LauraWin
Get a set of two from Amazon for $179.99.

No more using the floor or a flimsy chair when you want to work on your upper body.
It folds up for compact storage, too!
Promising review: "I lift three times a week, using medium to heavy dumbbells. This bench is awesome. It’s sturdy, comfortable, and is pretty much ready to go out of the box. I can easily chest press with 40-50 lb dumbbells on this bench without any instability or discomfort. I intend to eventually add a cage and Olympic set once I have the space, and I am confident this bench will even handle barbell work without a problem. It adjusts easily to multiple inclination and declination settings in seconds. The padding is thick and the overall construction of the bench is of high quality. It also folds up for convenient storage, if you need to clear up your workout area. Spend the extra money and get this bench if you lift a lot. It’s perfect for home gyms and I can’t wait for tomorrow’s workout!" —Ryan Kopchak
Get it from Amazon for $159.79.
29. An adjustable stepping machine with resistance bands and a space-saving design, so you can have a mini cardio session even if your apartment is too small for a bigger elliptical. It's also easy to move, in case you'd like to exercise in another room.
Promising review: "We absolutely love this stair step. The straps add a lot of movability and freedom and we love how it counts steps, time, and calories. Not only that but it was so easy to assemble and understand, and we are able to move it to whatever spot in the house we want with ease. It was also the most affordable option by far. Highly recommend!" —john cope
Get it from Amazon for $58.29.
30. A Bosu Balance Trainer guaranteed to put your arms, core, and legs to work. Want to do bicycles? Check. Reverse lunges? Check. Single leg deadlifts? Check. This compact piece of equipment is a little more expensive than other balance ball trainers, however, it's designed to last 10 times longer than others on the market. Plus you can complete so many different exercises with it at home!
Promising review: "Even though I do workouts at a gym with my coach, I wanted to have a Bosu ball to use at home for additional core work (I'm a competitive cyclist and a strong core is absolutely essential to performing well in my races). I already knew that a Bosu ball is a GREAT tool since my coach has been having me use one for the past two years. This home version is absolutely perfect; it was carefully packaged and inflated very easily. It feels just as sturdy as the one I've been using in the gym. I took it into my home gym immediately and used it for a core workout. :-) I can already tell it'll stand up to years of use. If you've never used a Bosu ball, it's a must-have addition for anyone who wants to do some serious core work." —Joyeuse
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in 15 colors).
31. Or Bosu balance ball pods that take up minimal space, yet give you a wow-worthy sweat session thanks to their versatility.

Each of these is 6.5 inches and comes with two sides: a dome-shaped one for balancing and a flat-shaped one for stability. Reviewers love these small pods because they can still complete bodyweight exercises without having to buy a large Bosu ball. If you would like one though, this 25-inch one comes in a bunch of colors and works great for all types of fitness routines!
Promising review: "These are a great alternative to a full-sized Bosu ball. I put in my backpack and take to the gym and also use at home. Makes planks a lot easier on my elbows too!" —Amazon Customer

They're also easy to take on and off compared to the default metal ones!
Promising reviews: "So far have loved this product! I enjoy now not having to search high and low all over the gym for clips 😅 easy to use, and secures the weights so there's no slipping plates anywhere!" —Rebecca V.
"I use these almost every day in the gym! I highly recommend them if you do any lifting. They nicely keep the weights locked in place and unlike the ones at the gym, they are plastic so you don't have to worry about getting slivers of metal in your hand or smashing your skin in those ugly silver ones that you have to find laying around the gym. My whole crew has these now! Best purchase ever!!" —Kaeo Black
Get a 2-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 12 colors).

35. Or a muscle roller stick that'll ~roll away~ all the tightness around your quads, hamstrings, and calves. Use this massager before or after a run to give your stiff and sore muscles a little love.
Promising review: "I'm a distance runner, and of all the gadgets and accessories I've bought myself, this is hands-down my favorite! Before this stick I had a solid stretching routine and proper diet, but even so, after my weekly long runs I could feel it. I was constantly dealing with tight quads and shin splints. Then I got this thing. I started rolling my legs for about five minutes before and after runs, and it's been a game changer! Stiffness and soreness is gone, and I've seen my pace drop significantly. Also, this thing is lightweight and easily fits in a small gym bag. And at the price point, this is a no-brainer." —Bryan
