Fitness is always trending, in some way or other, which means there are countless products on the market that companies insist we “need” to reach our goals. Often, the claims are overblown, or cheaper options work just as well: your stairs instead of an aerobics step, your sidewalk or community centre track rather than an under-desk treadmill. But there are also some fitness products that, in my opinion as a trainer, are hard to live without.
Whether for their versatility, like a cork yoga block and resistance bands, or their practical comfort, such as socks that don’t fall down inside your runners, the items on this list deserve consideration when you’re rounding out your home gym, gym bag, or workout strategy. And don’t overlook the benefits of getting excited about a piece of equipment that really serves your needs. Armed with a few of these items and a can-do attitude, your fitness goals are within reach!
