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

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate; definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Fast delivery and very nice packaging." —Rosa
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
3. Pull-up assistance bands that'll make exercises a little bit easier by helping you do more reps and improve your form. If you want to work on moves like pull-ups, chin-ups, or muscle dips, you can try five different resistance levels spanning from lightweight to heavy. The best part? You can also attach them to other pieces of equipment *or* use them like regular resistance bands while working out.
Check them out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I was looking for a band that I could use to help me get that extra rep for a pull-up assist and something I could attach to my Olympic bar when squatting or benching. These worked wonders. I bought one originally but caved and bought another so I could attach it to both ends of the barbell. Highly recommend!" —Kristian
Get a 4-pack from Amazon for $69.99 (also sold individually).
4. 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 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!
Check it out on TikTok here.
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 $145.99+ (available in 11 colors).
5. A workout tank you'll want to wear all the time because it's so comfy and has removable pads. No digging, underwire, or hooks, just support for your chest when you need it. It also doubles up as a cute loungewear top, according to reviewers.
Check out all the ways to wear this top on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I’m so glad I committed! It’s extremely comfortable. The padding is amazing so you don’t have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" —Kristyn Long
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
6. Or a long line sports bra with sweat-wicking fabric that'll go with basically any type of bike shorts or leggings. Reviewers say it's a great budget-friendly option if you don't want to spend a lot for a workout top and love it for its versatility: you can wear it to the gym or to run errands.
This sports bra/top combo comes with all the functional features you'd like: removable pads, a comfy and stretchy design, and fabric that won't leave you feeling like a sweat puddle during workouts.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I never, never, never, leave reviews on products, but with this one, it's well worth it and I haven't even worked out in it yet! I'm a 36DD (I ordered a large for reference), so finding a good supportive sports bra can be a bit difficult to find. I found this one the way a Gen Z'er does: TikTok. And the so-called 'Lulu Dupe' is absolutely deserving of the praise it gets! This sports bra can even double as a tank top if you're running from the gym to get coffee or to home, so it's absolutely perfect! It's such a cute top and I can't wait to see how well it supports my workouts! I bought it in dusty blue and I'll be back for more of the colors!" —Robert
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 14 colors).

"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

Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "This stuff really is awesome. It really works and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in three sizes and packs of two).
9. 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, because there will be so many combo circuits to try with this cool set!

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, 6 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

Promising review: "These bangles have a beautiful modern look them. They sit nicely and securely on my wrists while I work out and I actually feel like it is helping. Very innovative." —Maria D.

See them on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Bought as a joke, but had hopes it would do as TikTok said. The material is comfortable and not too sheer. If you wear like hot pink undies, you're gonna see them if you're doing a squat, but otherwise not too sheer. Was very comfortable and holds up after been washed a few times so far. And finally, does make the booty like, amazing. Heads up though, you should wear a thong and pull them up a little higher than usual for the TikTok effect. Otherwise, very happy with my pants :)" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $21.97 (available in women's sizes S–4XL, two lengths, and multiple styles).
12. A set of resistance bands so you can gradually strengthen your butt and legs over time.

Promising review: "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.

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these running shoes. They are extremely lightweight — feels like you are running on air yet with support. Super cute, look exactly as pictured, and are true to size. I would order these 100 times over, actually contemplating getting another pair in a different color just because these are so perfect. I’ve had them for over two months and they have not worn out at all. Wipes clean and doesn’t stain which is amazing!! I regularly run outside so I destroy my running shoes; these I’ve just taken a wet paper towel to and they are good as new! So happy with this purchase!" —Kate
Get them from Amazon for $44.93+ (available in women's shoe sizes 5–12 and in 28 colors).

Your neck and back will say "thank you" for this soothing duo.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Honestly a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for $20 I'll try it, and oh my god, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8 to 10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 14 colors).

Promising review: "Love it! Fun color, and functions well for what I'm looking for (hiking in hot weather). Would love if there were floral patterns in the future!" —jemusebouche
Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 or from Vimhue's site for $29 (available in 24 colors).

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

Each pair comes with a wireless charging case, so you can power them up on the go!
Promising review: "I’ve been searching for wireless headphones that wouldn’t break the bank because I was tired of always getting caught on doorknobs, cabinet doors, and drawers. Funny enough, these headphones were recommended via TikTok and I’m loving them so much. They look expensive and the sound quality is amazing! The various options of bud sizes make them customizable to fit your ear so they’re nice and snug. The battery case is really sleek and can be easily tucked away in your pocket, bag, or purse. I haven’t been this excited to have new technology in a while!" —Joey Reyes

18. Or a pair of wireless sleep and workout headphones guaranteed to make yoga, meditation, or chilly walking/jogging/running sessions a little more relaxing.

Check them out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well. The value is worth the quality. I would recommend." —Thunder Muffin
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 11 colors).
19. A four-pocket FlipBelt you'll always want to bring with you on a walk, jog, or run — it'll securely hold your ID, keys, and phone without causing them to bounce around. Exercise outdoors without worrying about important items falling out and getting lost mid-workout.

Check out a TikTok of the FlipBelt in action!
Promising review: "Love, love, love my FlipBelt. I cannot stand arm bands so for the past year, I have been running while holding my phone (I know, awful). I was running with my coworker and she suggested I get a running belt. Having run a couple of half marathons in the past, I have used running belts but they tend to bounce around and just be an annoyance. I happened to stumble on the FlipBelt on Amazon and had to give it a try. 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 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 $28.99+ (available in XXS–XXL and 13 colors).
20. A 1-inch thick exercise mat that'll keep you comfy during workouts. Made with durable foam, this cushy essential feels nice to sit and stand on and it prevents you from sliding. Place this over the floor before your next yoga flow or 10-minute abs session.
This mat is great for anyone who lives in an apartment or studio, because it doesn't take up too much space and rolls up for easy storage. It also comes with a carrying strap, in case you'd like to take it to a gym or yoga studio.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I love my exercise classes, but I find that when we do floor work I have discomfort when laying on my side or sitting in certain positions on my bottom. I started googling to find a 'thicker than usual' workout mat and stumbled upon this one. I instantly noticed a difference the first time I used it. No more discomfort during floor exercises. The length is great — I usually keep my feet on the floor so I don't dirty the mat and I scoot to the end of it to do so, this leaves a ton of mat length left." —My Prerogative
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
21. And speaking of mats, a chic gym bag with plenty of room for your fave yoga mat and more workout essentials: It comes with a big main compartment for clothes, a shoe compartment for sneakers, four front pockets that'll hold the small stuff, AND a slot that'll fit a rolled yoga mat. Now you can travel to and from the gym without losing anything.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I chose to purchase this bag because I go to yoga straight after work, so I was looking for a bag that could hold a set of yoga clothes, sandals, a mat towel and a small towel, other little extras such as my combination lock and my yoga mat. A lot of the bags that I looked at were those boat tote bags and I really wanted something that was more compact and could be closed with a zipper. This bag has exceeded my expectations. For the price, I wasn't expecting the most amazing bag ever but this bag is worth every penny and then some. It fits everything that I need to take, including one of those ridiculous Hydro Flask water bottles. Great quality bag and simple design. It is the perfect yoga bag." —Brittany Gordon
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
22. A set of 2-, 3-, and 5-pound weights to keep on hand for indoor barre and strength training workouts. They won't slip out of your hands during reps, plus they come with a stand for easy storage that won't take up too much space. Lots of reviewers recommend them if you're new to exercising or just getting back into a routine!
Check it out on TikTok here.
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 8-lb. 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 $45.81+ (also available in sets of two and 11 other weight combinations).
23. Core sliders for days when you want to give your abs a good workout. Your transverse abdominis and obliques will be *on fire* after using these helpers for planks, push-ups, and mountain climbers.
Check them out on TikTok here.
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 $7.95+ (available in four colors).
24. A pair of quick-drying shorts you'll be ~running~ to buy for your activewear wardrobe. They have an elastic waistband, a comfy underwear liner (no more riding up or down!), and breathable material that dries quickly. Plus, they're a great dupe for other brands like Lululemon and Nike.
Check them out on TikTok here.
My colleague Emma Lord owns these and said: "I recently bought these shorts because I'm in love with the similar ones you can get at Old Navy, but they sell out so fast. Turns out I love these even more! I love the huge arrange of colors you can buy these in (at other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!), love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or face mask. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!" Read more of her running shorts review (it's #49).
Promising review: "Buy these right now! I saw these on TikTok as a dupe for a pair of Lululemon shorts. I would say the feel of these is more similar to Nike shorts than Lulu but the cut is great and the liner keeps them out of your nooks and crannies when working out. I have already ordered another pair! Sizing is the same as it would be with Nike shorts as well, but I prefer these to the traditional Nike shorts." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 36 colors).
25. Or high-rise bike shorts so comfy and perfect for the gym and beyond. They come in fun patterns (like the navy faux snakeskin-print one below) and have moisture-wicking fabric that'll help you stay dry, even if you're sweating a little from exercising. Plus, they offer a little compression without feeling too tight on legs.
After reading all the positive reviews for these bike shorts, I decided to buy a pair and put them to the test. They're SO COMFY compared to other compressive activewear. I've worn them for treadmill runs and not once did I have to pull them up at the waist or adjust them around my thighs. If you'd like to switch up your activewear outfit with something that's not leggings, I highly recommend these!
Check them out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I have never really been a fan of bike shorts until now! I saw this pair on TikTok and I thought they were so cute. I ran to the comments for the details and ordered them right away. When I received them they looked exactly like the picture and have a very nice, soft fabric for working out. They have become my new favorite shorts. I definitely recommend them!" —Jasmine
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, in sets of two, and in 17 colors and patterns).
26. An Obé Fitness membership if your home fitness routine needs a revamp.

Check it out on TikTok here.
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.
Get it from Obé Fitness for $27+ (monthly, quarterly, and annual memberships available).
27. 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. And, you'll get moving even if it's only for a few minutes!
Check it out on TikTok here.
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 $15.95+ (available in five colors).
28. A Bala Power Ring if the thought of using dumbbells or kettlebells makes you cringe, but you still want an upper-body workout that's fun and worth your time. This 10-pound circle can be used in so many ways: Lift it up or down during Pilates, hold it while you complete squats, *or* swing it if you'd like to strengthen your arms.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "LOVE the power ring. So easy to hold and use, and perfect weight. I’ve been using it as an alt to a kettle bell as well as for kneeling/standing core exercises." —Emma G.
Get it from Amazon for $79.50+ (available in eight colors) or Bala for $89 (available in four weight sizes and seven colors).
29. A fitness trampoline that'll give you an amazing sweat session 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!
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $219.95 (available in two sizes and six colors).
30. And a set of cooling towels you'll probably thank yourself a million times for bringing to the gym. After you'e done working out, just wet them and they'll feel cool to the touch — perfect for placing on overheated areas like your head, neck, and shoulders. Or, use them dry and they'll wick away sweat from your skin, so you won't feel like a puddle after cardio or strength training.
Check them out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I saw these recommended on a TikTok for disabled people whom can't regulate their temperature in the heat, and omg, was it worth buying them. You just add cold water and it's like an ice pack without the burning of the ice. Excited to use them all summer!" —Muirgen Neal
Get a set of four for $18.99 (available in 13 color combos).
