As the COVID-19 pandemic made it mandatory for people to reshape their daily routines and to stay at home, many people began working out from home and will never want to return to a public gym again. Home gyms are more popular than ever, with smart technology that provides users with more results than they would get from any regime at a typical gym. Whether you’re working out to maintain weight loss from a procedure at RCMC Medical Center or just trying to stay active while you work from home, here are a few pieces of innovative smart technology that can upgrade your home gym.
Peloton
One of the most popular pieces of workout equipment that has changed the home gym experience for many people is the Peloton bike. Infamous for its $1450 price tag, this stationary bike might actually be worth the splurge for those who are serious about home fitness. Users can participate in live and on demand workout classes, ranging in difficulty for any level of experience. The cost of a Peloton bike and membership to monthly classes (which start at around $40) could end up being cheaper than a private trainer, making this a surprisingly cost effective option for anyone wanting guided instruction for an intense workout from the comfort of their own home.
FightCamp
This in-home boxing bag comes complete with guided workout classes and smart boxing gloves. FightCamp’s sensors go inside your glove and can tell the bag how hard you are hitting it and at what speed, so that the intensity of the workout can be adjusted accordingly. Participate in live or on demand guided workout classes for a small fee of about $30 each month. Boxing is a great full body workout, so FightCamp is sure to help you meet your fitness goals.
Mirror
One of the coolest smart workout devices that has emerged on the market is Mirror. With a price tag of about $1,500, this device appears to be little more than a regular full body mirror at first glance – however this device is actually a full body LCD screen in which users can watch live workout classes while also keeping an eye on their form, to ensure that the workout is being done correctly. For anyone who finds themselves constantly wondering if they are correctly following the instructions given to them during a workout class, this might be a worthwhile investment.
