Best new fitness tech and exercise gadgets

Peloton, the cult at-home workout brand, went public last week, showing that the fitness tech race has begun in earnest.

From £30 trackers to jewellery that monitors health, these are the gadgets to power your regime.

Fitbit Premium

Fitbit is getting smarter, with a Premium service. It takes your tracking data on fitness, sleep, food and stress and offers personalised advice. Its new coaching programmes promise to keep you fit on the go, too.

Tangram Factory Smart Rope Rookie Skipping Rope

As a kid I found it impossible to count how many skips I’d done. This not only tracks your skipping, it also tracks the calories you’ve burned. You can also unlock awards and sync the rope with the Apple Health app.

Honor Band 5 Fitness Tracker

No exercise fan is seen without a good fitness tracker on their wrist in 2019. Honor’s latest smart band features multiple sport modes, a swim stroke detector, and constant heart rate monitoring. Plus, it weighs only 23g, so you’ll barely notice it’s there.

Peloton bike

Peloton is still the leader in at-home fitness technology. The brilliance of this bike is that it lets you tune in to live-streamed classes. When you think about the price of an average London cycling class, you can make your money back fairly quickly.

It’s particularly important to stay hydrated when working out. This tiny device slips into your water bottle and connects to an app to let you know how much water you’ve drunk today. Simple and effective.
