With a 120Hz refresh rate ensuring smooth and fluid motion, you won’t miss a beat during your workouts or while watching the digital yule log (and no, it won’t judge your fascination with virtual firewood).

This TV boasts stunning 4K Ultra HD resolution and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, making your on-screen trainer’s sweat droplets practically countable. The MINI-LED backlight shines brighter than a supernova, creating a visually captivating experience.

The TCL Q Class Sound Bar is the ultimate hype man for your home gym. Crank your pump-up jams and feel the motivational bass of the wireless subwoofer – it’s like having a drummer urging “One more rep!” The built-in tweeters add flair to every beat, perfect for Zumba. With Auto Room Calibration, you get crystal clear audio whether you’re doing downward dog in the living room or bicep curls in the bedroom. Sleek yet powerful, this soundbar turns your TCL TV into a judgment-free fitness studio.

Power Cuffs, $179 and up

Tired of noodle arms? Science has a crazy hack to get jacked fast. Restricting blood flow while training packs muscle on better than your cousin at an all-you-can-eat buffet. (Learn more about BFR training here.) In fact, studies show aerobics and lifting with blood flow restriction inflated muscles up to 0.4cm and 0.3kg.

But you don’t want just to tie twine around your arms. Instead, pick up a pair of PowerCuffs. These training accessories are expertly designed blood flow restrictors that easily strap to your arms and allow adjustments with a simple twist of a dial.

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, PowerCuffs could be your ticket to gaining that extra edge. Embraced by fitness pro wrestling legend “Diamond” Dallas Page and former IFBB Pro League bodybuilder Tony Freeman, these training accessories are a transformative addition for anyone looking to seriously elevate their muscle game. And yes, they also have a set to strap on for leg days.

Our editors have tested both sets out and have nothing but positive things to report — easy to use, felt the intensity kick up in training, and got massive pumps. Do yourself a favor and put them on your wish list before you tweet it to Santa.

Major Fitness F35 All-in-one-Folding Power Rack, $849

Tired of a dingy garage gym with just a rusty bench and makeshift weights? Or worse, fed up with flimsy half racks that bend or wobble when you so much as glance at them wrong?

Enter the MAJOR FITNESS F35, a compact powerhouse that easily folds away for when your gym needs to revert to a garage or make space for spontaneous breakdance showdowns. Setting it up is a breeze (we managed it in a few hours, despite routinely confusing hammers with hammer curls).

This beast boasts 15 adjustable heights, seven adjustable angles, and integrates with cables, landmines, and a multi-grip pull-up bar. One of our editors swapped their power rack for the F35 and isn’t looking back. (Full review coming soon.) Customize it with J hooks, safety arms, and more. If you’ve ever thought about building your home gym or upgrading from old equipment, consider this model before you pull the trigger.”

Katalyst Fitness, $2,000 and up

Think of the Katalyst suit as your high-tech, time-saving fitness super suit.

This futuristic wearable activates a full-body beast mode workout in just 20 minutes by using EMS technology to stimulate up to 90% of muscle fibers, offering intense toning and balanced muscle growth. Additional benefits: enhancing blood flow and reducing soreness.

Yeah, it’s expensive and if it’s out of your budget, don’t sweat it. (Keep in mind there’s also a subscription plan that goes with it, but you get guided training and more training varieties than you’ll know what to do with.)

This isn’t gear that’s meant to replace training, but instead to help you level up your fitness in 20-minute increments.
