Promising review: "Compared to competitors 2x-3x the price this thing competes perfectly well and gives you an awesome pump. I use it with a door anchor to do lat pull downs, stand on it for OPH and curls. It’s super diverse and I’m a big fan of all that can be accomplished." —Max Burnett

Get it from Amazon for $99.99.

4. A sports bra with a design that proves athletic clothing is *finally* being designed for the 21st century. Don't worry, this bra knows your phone is coming with you. It's gonna have your back.

Senita Athletics

This woman-owned business has been creating affordable and functional activewear since 2015. The line is loved for their small details...they know we want pockets! This bra has removable cups and is wire-free.

Promising review: "I bought this sports bra after hearing so many people rave about it, and I'm so glad that I did! I now have this bra in two colors, and they are so comfy with and without the pads. I wear them for running because of their ability to handle impact, but the pocket is also a great feature! I am a 32 C and a small fit perfectly, without the bottom strap being tight around my rib cage." —Amanda

Get it from Senita Athletics for $23 (originally $26; available in sizes XS-L and in 10 colors and patterns).

5. A Tidal Tank that'll have everyone at the gym asking "~Water~ you working out with?!"

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I really like how versatile this bag is. While performing movements the water moving around inside adds dynamic force, causing you to engage your core and use more muscle fibers to remain steady throughout the movement. Easy to fill, easy to pump. A great product overall. It's a great addition to my training tools." —David

Get it from Amazon for $49+ (available in three sizes).

6. A power ring you can literally keep on the floor of your living room, because it's so good looking like it doubles as decor. If this is what the future of fitness products looks like, I would like to sign myself up.

The machine includes a full screen to provide an immersive experience, making the user feel like they're *really* chopping water. It can be used with or without a subscription, making it a great gift option. There is a starter pack ($2,245) that includes the rowing machine, under machine mat, Polar heart rate monitor, and Jaybird Tarah Pro Wireless Headphones or a one-year subscription for $456.

Promising review: "I own a Peloton bike and I use it regularly. The biggest issue with the bike is that it's almost all quad. Your upper leg is working like crazy and the cardio is really intense. The problem with the bike is that it doesn't do the rest of your body. I bought the Hydrow to try to get a full body workout and it's really great. You're effectively doing a squat, crunch and push up each time you row. When it's over you really feel as though you've worked out your entire body. The classes are great too. You see the instructor on the screen and you're mirroring them, so when they go fast so do you. I took a class yesterday and they were in Miami and there were dolphins in the open water. It was pretty neat. Anyway, it's nice to go stroke for stroke with them and it makes it a lot more enjoyable than a traditional rower. I love it and my family has been using it more than the Peloton." —David

Get it from Best Buy or Hydrow for $2,245.

8. A bold bodysuit I'm pretty sure was pulled straight off a fashion-forward UFO. This is specifically for folks who want to stay ahead of fashion trends in and out of the gym.

Solely Fit

BTW — Solely Fit is a Black woman-owned brand creating functional activewear that looks super nice. The pieces are made to work out in and hang out in. This bodysuit is made from a mix of polyester and spandex, so it fits comfortably.

Get it on sale from Solely Fit for $85 (originally $110; available in sizes XS-XL).

9. A *wild* portable cable Smart Home Gym that weighs nothing but has a mighty workout up its sleeves. You'll be able to carry an entire gym in your bag. That's some science magic right there.

Amazon

Promising review: ''This is a game-changer. I have been able to do every workout that I used to do in the gym now in the comfort of my home. There is so much flexibility with being able to workout when I want where I want since it is so portable. My setup is my home office. This is great on my joints since it is concentric only, meaning there is no negative resistance. You can definitely build muscle with it. I've been using it for a few months now and have been able to get my physique back to where it was pre-COVID. I also wanted to add that the customer service is next level. They have been so great whenever I've had questions or concerns.'' —Ankit Shah

Promising review: "I used to use sandbag ankle weights, but they'd leak sand all over the place and felt so unstable. THESE are utter perfection. They feel super secure, there's zero leakage, and they are adorable. One of the greatest investments I've made in my fitness regime." —Mikah B.

Promising review: "The Mirror is the best investment I’ve made in quite some time. It is extremely easy to use. The set up was a breeze. I’ve only had it a little over a week and I am using it daily even if running short on time...it’s easy to even do a 15-minute class! I also love I can do multiple classes one for cardio and then add on a short stretch or toning class. Basically, I feel I control what I want to do each day fitting into my schedule rather than working around classes at the gym. And for a family this is far less expensive each month than a multi-person gym membership. I’m thrilled with The Mirror!!! Even had a friend join me for a class and she loved it too!!" —Ronda Stratis Elkins

Promising review: "The Metcons are the first pair of shoes I've purchased specifically for strength training/HIIT and I'm super impressed so far! I can definitely tell a difference that they have a lower profile from heel to toe compared with my running shoes. They're lightweight but snug and don't let my feel slide around.

Promising review: "If you work out at home and use body weight, you need the Perfect Fitness Pushup Elite stands. They allow you to vary your width, strengthen your hands and wrists, and alleviate pain, while allowing for deeper pushups. The result is a better chest and tricep pump, which translates into more strength and size. The stands give you an extra couple of inches in height while doing pushups and added comfort as they can rotate 360 degrees.

Getting a Stealth board was the very best thing that has happened to me during quarantine. Mixing the fun of games on your phone with the natural endorphins you get from exercising is, to put it lightly, genius. I have two in my home and my husband and I compete daily to see who can last the longest. My favorite game is the paragliding challenge, he's into the planet-blasting space adventure. Nerd.
