During the COVID-19 era, many people have reprioritized health in their life—resulting in a dramatic fitness boom. Fueled by limited gym access and a dramatic rise in working from home, there has been a shift towards digital fitness trends. New health trends have led to innovative fitness technology designed to improve the at-home experience. 

If you’re looking to ride the get-fit-from-home wave, the best fitness technology in 2021 can help you elevate your home workout routine. Whether you’re craving ways to level up physical performance, stay motivated year-round, or spice up your routine with a new workout regimen, the best new fitness technology of 2021—listed below—will refresh your at-home sweat sessions.

1. Therabody Wave Roller 

From relieving muscle tightness and pain to soothing aching joints, the benefits of foam rolling are many.

Therabody, the creators of the Theragun, have changed the foam roller game with its innovative Therabody Wave Roller. The latter elevates the foam rolling experience using therapeutic vibrations. As you roll after a tough workout or during your morning stretch, the five different intensities allow you to optimize your roller to fit your needs. 

However, the best feature of this new age roller is its Bluetooth capabilities. Once connected to a mobile device, users can customize their roller and track their recovery routine. The Wave Roller even comes with guided warm-ups and cool-downs for your mobile device so that you can make the most of this fresh new roller.

2. WHOOP Strap 3.0

If you’re looking for a minimalist fitness tracker, the WHOOP Strap 3.0 is your answer. This sleek, smart tracker features an impressive battery life of five days, a super sweat-absorbant brand, and access to personalized fitness insights. 

WHOOP is popular for its range of colors and versatile wearability—WHOOP is water-resistant and can be worn with an impact sleeve during high-impact sports. Despite its uber-simple appearance, the WHOOP Strap 3.0 provides comprehensive 24/7 tracking of workout, sleep, recovery, strain, and more.

The appeal of WHOOP lies in its simplicity. This tracker makes it easy to focus on your workout rather than the emails, texts, and alarms that bog down other fitness tracker experiences. 

3. Peloton Tread+

Peloton rocked the fitness world with its original Peloton Bike. Now, the fitness brand is back to once again change the face of at-home fitness. The new Peloton Tread+ is one of the most popular treadmills on the market—and for good reason. This inclusive piece of equipment transcends the classic treadmill by offering interactive workouts on a 32-inch screen. 

The touchscreen connects members with an expansive network of instructor-led runs, walking routines, high-intensity cardio sessions, and more. Whether you’re looking for a class or a scenic virtual run, the Tread+ provides well-rounded workouts curated by world-class fitness professionals. 

Another feature that makes the Peloton Tread stand out is its namesake treads. Rather than a solid belt, the Tread+ features individual rubber slats for a lower impact run. The ergonomic controls of the Tread+ make it easy to adjust speed and incline.
