We might not be George Jetson jetting around Orbit City, but fitness tech has definitely evolved over the years. No matter where you’re at on your fitness journey, there are gadgets that will help you bring your work out into the 21st Century.
Digital fitness is one industry that has picked up during the pandemic with more people looking to maximise workouts at home. Whether you still prefer working out in front of the TV, or are thrilled that gyms are open again, tech can help you get a boost out of exercise.

Wearable tech, such as Fitbits and Garmins, have been around for a few years – but did you know there are now gizmos for upping the resistance of a single pair of weights, tracking your water intake and helping you recover your workout? Fitness tech is fun and a great motivator, helping inspire you to reach your goals. We’re introducing you to some of our favourite gadgets that will help keep you motivated! 




FitbitOne of the original and most well-known names in wearable tech, Fitbit has a wide range of fitness watches that allow you to track your step count, heart rate and monitor your daily activity. Some fitbits are water-resistant to track swimming, and others support manual entry of your fluid intake. Not only will your Fitbit track important indicators like your heart rate and steps, you can also leave your phone at home and still receive calls and messages. That means you can stay focussed on your exercise without interruptions.
Bose sport earbudsA good set of headphones can make a real difference in getting through those last few reps. Wireless headphones are the way to go, so that you don’t have to worry about cords getting in your way. No ordinary bluetooth earbuds, the Bose Sport Earbuds are specially designed to stay secure while you’re working out so you don’t risk losing them on your run or while you’re at the gym. They also offer up to five hours of battery life with lifelike sound, and are sweat and weather-resistant so you can exercise to the max in any conditions.
Intelligent weights workout Want to be able to do a weights workout at home without having to lug in and store a large selection of dumbbells? There are a number of brands that offer an intelligent solution, turning up the dial on a single pair of free weights to take them from light to heavy. The Powertrain GEN2 pro dumbbell is perfect for quick and easy workouts - minus the bulky dumbbell racks. With five weight settings that you can adjust in 5 kg increments, you can select the right resistance for different exercises. Plus, these dumbbells will stay with you as your strength increases - there’s no need for a new set! 
Massage gunsMassage guns have become increasingly popular and it’s clear why; with reduced access to physio and myotherapists during the pandemic, there’s nothing been better than being able to deliver a great massage at home! On-the-go percussive massage solutions mean you’re never far from deep-tissue massage to work out knots and muscle tightness. You can pull them out, wherever you are and give your muscles a little extra TLC to help them recover!
Foam rollersDid you know there are also foam rollers that deliver therapeutic vibrations to help speed up your recovery? The Therabody Wave Roller offers five different intensities and is bluetooth enabled so you can track your rolling and follow guided warm ups and cool-down sessions from your phone. Pulseroller also offers a vibrating foam roller that helps flush away lactic acid.
Intelligent compression wraps We all know that muscle aches and pains are normal parts of the exercise. However, that doesn’t mean you need to struggle with them! Heat and vibration can help ease overall muscle soreness and stiffness in your body - helping you recover in time for your next workout. Venom’s wearable wrap offers both vibration and heat for easing painful muscles. Use the digital touch screen to control your temperature, and take your pick from four different types of vibrations.
