Promising review: "This boxing machine is durable. It took me literally seven minutes to put together, it was so quick and easy. Gloves are an awesome added bonus. They are durable and comfy as well. This is a great buy for people who are looking for a nice workout but don’t want the gym. I live in an apartment. My neighbors can’t hear it below me so overall I say this is good quality for the price." —Brittany L.

Promising review: "This product was a gift for my daughter who may walk her dog in the evening and to my grandson who sometimes runs at dusk. They both report their pleasure with the product. 'It works well' was the comment. It's bright, comfortable and did I say it's bright! I'm thinking of getting another color and letting them add on to their safety color palette." —Jed

Promising review: "I’ve been using this equipment for a couple of weeks now and it’s opened up a world of workouts for me. I feel like it’s taken a lot of the workouts up a notch and helping me feel more muscle engagement and strength in the best ways! I’m still getting used to it, but loving the burn so far and can’t wait to finish off my equipment collection soon. In the meantime, this is a great start because of the diversity of equipment included in the set." —Georgie R.

Promising review: "Great product! So easy to use and came faster than I expected. Bands come in extra light, light, medium, heavy, and extra heavy, so it's perfect for any kind of workout! I used the extra heavy bands right above my knees and walked in a squat position and let me tell you: I am sore. This product is so versatile and I am so excited to hit the gym with these and they're great for at home workouts." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of five from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in a pink set).
Promising review: "This product is perfect for all outdoor activities! I recently got into bike shorts because I was tired of my thighs chafing when I run, hike, and bike. These shorts are shorter than other bike shorts, but long enough to prevent chafing. The patterns are perfect and vibrant and the cloth is so soft. They are incredibly breathable and comfortable for lounging in, or taking on a long run or bike ride." —Amazon Customer

CultureFit Clothing is a Black woman-owned business that creates beautiful activewear and yoga mats. Each product is designed to elevate your workout with functional features, including super-absorbent material and a flexible fit.
Promising review: "I do a lot of home workouts since we can’t go to the gym and this has saved my life! My place has hard tile and I can’t feel *anything* through the endless burpees, crunches, or planks! It’s also super easy to clean and store *and* it makes for a cute IG picture. ☺️ —CultureFit Clothing Customer

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 $19.97 (available in three volumes, also available in bodyweight exercises).
It comes with a suspension training strap, indoor/outdoor anchors, two workout guides, a training poster, and a mesh bag. Plus, it only weighs one pound, so it won't be too heavy to carry if you need to switch locations.
Promising review: "I always loved using the TRX at the gym, so I just had to get one for at home during these closures. I love how easy it is to set up and the multitude of variations of exercises I can do with it. I have only used the yellow anchor strap, as I use it outside where I have an open beam for a bigger range of motion than in my house. It easily handles all of our bodyweight. Great core workout basically the whole time you are using it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $129.95.
Promising review: "Normally I'm not one to go out and buy the latest fitness product. I had a 'classic' ab wheel I used but wanted something sturdy with resistance and safe. Additionally, I was seeking a product that would give me me a quick ab workout with minimal risk of injury. Here is where the Ab Carver Pro steps in. It has resistance, is safe and stable to use, and is versatile in terms of different directions of movement." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
Promising review: "I got these for the days I am just going to Zumba and not weightlifting. They are as comfortable as they can be for wearing weights on the ankles or wrists. They are adjustable which is great because my wrists are small and these fit and can be tightened or loosened. They stay in place when I'm dancing which is what I wanted and why I got. They definitely increase the intensity of a Zumba style workout and I see an improvement in muscle tone since I started using them. Excellent product and worth the price." —Amazon Customer
Get a pair from Amazon for $49 (available in three colors.)
Promising review: "I didn’t expect to love this thing so much! It has a spring like resistance on the foam back, so it makes working out — especially curl-ups — fun and if you put it on the tallest setting, the sit ups get so easy that you don’t even realize how much you are working out! Did this for half and hour while watching TV and didn’t have to take any breaks. I love this thing." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.

Get it from Equipt for $129+ (available in two weights) or from Bandier for $129 (only available in black in 4 lbs).
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 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 four-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 wasn't 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 $21.10+ (available in XXS–XXL and 13 colors).
These sneakers contain a sustainable material called Primeblue (a.k.a. a high-performance recycled material partially created with Parley Ocean Plastic).
Promising review: "This is my second pair of Ultraboosts and I absolutely love the new design of the 21s. The Parley plastic makes me feel even better buying these shoes as I know they're helping to recycle plastic. The shoes are very comfortable and the extra boost in the heel provides more spring when walking/running. I would say that the uppers are narrow, which isn't an issue for me personally but I thought I'd mention that." —Adidas Customer
Get them from Adidas for $180 (available in sizes 5–11 and 17 colors).
Promising review: "Love how easy, portable, and affordable these are. They're super easy to inflate by removing the air plug from the ball, then blowing air quickly for a few seconds to inflate. They're very portable and sturdy for doing Pilates, yoga, and barre. It's upped my Pilates practice as a great prop!" —Cammy Zhang

Get them from Rochelle Porter Design on Etsy for $69 (available in sizes 2X–6X).
Promising review: "I love my mat. It's so pretty. It did have a faint rubber smell upon opening, but it didn't take long to disappear. It's held up to many outdoor sessions in dewy grass, in the sun, on the beach, and my floors. The mat hasn't began peeling or losing its design in any way. I love it" —jessie
Get it from Amazon for $27.70+ (available in 24 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, but 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.
Need weights during your next barre session? No problem, because this bar comes with six dumbbell racks at the bottom that'll fit 1-pound, 2-pound, and 3-pound weights.
Promising review: "I didn’t have a chair that’s the proper height so I decided to try this alternative. I like that it is stable enough to use during the workout, but still light enough to pick up and move out of the way when switching between barre and floor exercises. It is bulky, but it easily folds up. It still takes up space when folded, but can fit in a closet, under a bed or even behind our couch. Glad I ordered because I can properly do the workouts now." —Amazon Customer

Powerhandz is a Dallas-based company focused on athletic training and rehabilitation products. Co-founded by entrepreneurs Danyel Surrency Jones and Darnell Jones, Powerhandz aims to help fitness enthusiasts improve their workouts.
Promising review: "These pop-up defenders are great for any age group or skill set. When it’s up, your basketball equipment can be stored inside and the base is weighted. When collapsed, it’s so easily transported. The height of the pop-up defenders allows for both offensive and defensive direction when training versus standard cones. Great product!" —Powerhandz Customer
Pre-order it from Powerhandz for $34.99.
Reviewers also said this bike was easy to put together!
Promising review: "This bike is easy to assemble, which works out good for a person like me who is not very patient. I like the color too, it sort of adds an accent in my house with this black and red color, but it is not too big to take too much space in the house (that was my worry before we assembled it). It is comfortable to ride on, enough padding on the seat, and definitely an excellent tool to work out and burn some extra calories!" —Elaine
Get it from Amazon for $299.99.
Each dumbbell weighs 2.3 pounds alone and comes with four weight blocks (each weigh 0.55 pounds). If you want to increase weight, it's so easy: just add a weight block to each side of the dumbbell and you'll be good to go!
Promising review: "I had been looking at these weights for a while. I wanted something adjustable because I don't have the room for much. One side of each handle has one big weight and eight small ones. You can add or take away whatever you want and they don't flop or slide around. I haven't weighted them but I think you can definitely make more weight combinations than they listed. Well worth the money!" —ErinR
Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two weight sizes and four colors).
Promising review: "This is very lightweight and portable. It fits nicely on a runner rug next to my bed and doesn't move around when I use it. The settings are easy to adjust, and it is quiet. I use it in the morning while I catch up on the news. I was reluctant to get a piece of exercise equipment but am very glad that I did!" —Caren S.
Get it from Amazon for $84.99.
Promising review: "I like to run a lot (specially long distances) and I do HIIT every day, so a high impact sport bra is a necessity. I had the idea that in order to get a good sport bra that works for me, I needed to spend a lot of money and I was used to spend twice (or even more) for a bra that did half the job that this one does. It’s comfortable to wear (and easy to take off after working out) and as soon as you put it on you will feel that everything is in place and makes you feel good." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–5X and six colors).
This set comes with a Ring-Con, leg strap, and RingFit Adventure game that's compatible with the Nintendo Switch. Just place a JoyCon in both the leg strap and Ring-Con (both track your movements throughout the game!), slip on the leg strap, hold the Ring-Con, and you're good to start playing!
BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves using this game to work out and said, "I've also been using this game as a way to supplement my trips to the gym. This may seem like a childish adventure from Nintendo, but JEEZ within moments I'm sweating my butt off. To move through each level you have to physically run in place and each time you 'battle' an enemy you have to do 15 reps of an exercise of your choosing. It's so fun I don't realize I'm working out until the game reminds me to take a break and have some water." Read more of her full Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure game review.
This yoga hammock is made with 5.5 yards of material, so you'll easily be able to get in and out of it during workouts.
Also make sure to anchor it from a sturdy surface (as shown in the review photos above), so you can be supported a few feet off the ground and not worry about falling out.
It comes with two steel screw-lock carabiners (25KN), two three-foot nylon reinforced daisy chains (23KN), a portable tote, and three instructional aerial pose cards.
Promising review: "I just received this, but it is a wonderful yoga swing. It is a bit stretchier than the ones at the studio, but it does what it needs to do and I just hang it higher so I don't hit the floor with inversions. The material is soft and comfortable and Savasana is heavenly in it. I have an indoor and outdoor stand, so last night was yoga under the stars." —Amazon Customer

As a web and app-based service, Obé Fitness can be accessed on a computer, smartphone, or TV. (Tip: Having a wider screen does make taking classes and watching instructors a bit easier.) Just use an HDMI cable to connect to your TV or launch Obé from the app using Airplay, Apple TV, or Chromecast.
My colleague Abby Kass uses Obé Fitness and said, "I started using Obé and then went back to my old at-home workout and switched back to Obé again because I realized I liked it so much. The classes are a great workout, yet the 28 minutes go by super fast, and I’m not counting down the minutes till it’s over. You don't technically need any equipment for the workout, but you can level up with simple equipment, such as a resistance loop, weights, and sliders." Read more of her Obé Fitness review.

Promising review: "My runner's knee was eradicated from using this tape. Knee pains and aches were erased. Additionally, my husband started developing charley horses in his calves at mile 29 of the Keys 100 Ultra Marathon. We applied KT tape to his calf muscles the way the official KT Tape Youtube channel instructed and he finished the 100-miler with no more charley horses in his calves. Through the rain, and 71 miles, the tape never came undone. This tape is not a gimmick. Watch the videos and apply the tape." —lavonne
