Bluetooth Headphones

Music is a must for pretty much every workout. It keeps you going and helps make it overall more enjoyable. To get the best out of your workout, wires can hold you back. Bluetooth headphones are a great option for pretty much anyone. Prices range depending on the product and brand. However one of the best high end headphones are created by Bose. Earbuds and over ear headphones depend on the person’s preference so take that into consideration before purchasing.

Fitbit

Fitbits offer lots of different information that you otherwise (most likely) won’t know. Fitbits track steps, heart rate, calories burned and much more. There are a variety of different types of fitbits on the market. Depending on your budget, you can pick from the cheapest product (FitBit Flex 2 $79.90) to the most expensive (Fitbit Charge 2 $229.93). There are many other options available on Fitbit’s website and Amazon.

Bluetooth Digital Scale

Like the Fitbit, a Bluetooth Digital scale offers the user more information that they may not already know. Many of these types of scales from Amazon, offer fat percentage, muscle mass percentage and much more. This allows the user to track their fitness progress in much more detail. All of which are kept track on an app that also allows the user to set goals. Most online range from $30 to $45.

Blender Bottle Shaker

Smoothies, BCAAS, pre-workout and protein shakes are often used a lot by gym rats. It’s almost a well know stereotype that they always are drinking their protein. Blender Bottle Shakers help keep shakes, smoothies and other supplements well mixed and are very useful for the person on the go. There are many different versions available ranging in prices, most of which are very affordable.

Gym Bag

A gym bag is must have for anyone who regularly goes to the gym. A good gym bag is very important and very durable. Again there are so many to choose from and vary in price range. A gym bag needs to spacious enough to hold everything the gym rat needs for their workout. A bonus would be to fill the gym bag with a bunch of cheap gym related stocking stuffers.
