Fitness editor's pick of the best Black Friday deals, from wearable tech to recovery essentials

Fitness editor Sarah Finley pushing a Hyrox sled - (Sarah Finley)

The end of the year is a great time to stock up on health and fitness products, not only because you can get some great discounts in the Black Friday sales, but it also means you’ll be fully prepped and ready to go come January 1, just in time for that glorious New Year reset.

As a freelance health and fitness editor, I’ve run multiple half-marathons and participated in fitness competitions, including Hyrox and Metrix. At the weekends, you’ll find me hitting the gym, or practising my yoga poses (before brunch, all about balance folks).

Along with this esteemed title, I’ve written in-depth health and fitness features and reviews for the likes of Women’s Health, Telegraph, BBC, and more, so it’s fair to say I know my apples.

This year alone, I’ve tested roughly 30 new health and fitness products, including the new and improved WHOOP MG wearable fitness tracker. I’m the go-to person when friends are looking for new smartwatch, running earphones, and home gym recommendations. I know what gadgets will help push you through to the finish line and boost motivation through the harder slogs when you’re a breath away from throwing in the towel.

As a gym regular, I understand that there’s nothing worse than picking the wrong workout clothes or trainers. Blisters and baggy leggings are never an enjoyable part of a fitness routine, and can even pose a hazard if they hinder your movement. So I’ve revealed my insider shortlist to the best sweat-free, streamlined Lycra, along with my Black Friday deals for the best running trainers.

I haven’t forgotten about recovery — from my favourite massage gun deal to the superlative wearable that will help you rest more effectively and train like a champ.

Below, you’ll find my pick of the best health and fitness Black Friday deals.
