Types of fitness products

The range of fitness products is broad, because every training goal calls for different equipment. One athlete mainly wants to do cardio for better fitness, another focuses on strength training or on monitoring their progress. Below we've lined up the most important types, so you can quickly see which kind of product suits your way of working out.

Fitness accessories

Fitness accessories are the affordable and versatile addition to any home workout. Think of resistance bands, a sturdy yoga mat, a jump rope or adjustable weights that let you train nearly your entire body without large machines. It's these smaller items in particular that make a complete workout possible in a limited space. In the fitness accessories collection you'll find everything to expand your training in an accessible way.

Treadmills

A treadmill is the most complete cardio solution for at home, because you can walk and run on it no matter the weather. When making your choice, pay special attention to the maximum speed and the cushioning, since good shock absorption takes the strain off your joints while running. Many models are foldable these days, so you can easily store them away after your workout. Check out the treadmills in our range for daily running or a brisk walk.

Exercise bikes

The exercise bike is a popular choice for daily cardio, precisely because of the low impact on your joints and its comfortable use. When buying one, it's best to look at the resistance levels and the seating comfort, since those determine how enjoyable and challenging your workout stays. An exercise bike is ideal if you want to build up gently or maintain your fitness. Discover the exercise bikes that let you keep cycling indoors all year round.

Massage devices for recovery

Good recovery is just as much a part of fitness as the training itself. With a massage gun or fascia gun, you can loosen up tired muscles after an intense workout, which reduces stiffness and gets you back in shape faster. These devices are also handy for warming up beforehand. Take a look at the massage devices collection for the right support with your muscle recovery.

Smart scales

If you really want to get clear insight into your progress, a smart scale is a valuable addition. Besides your weight, a scale like this often also measures your body fat percentage and muscle mass, and syncs the data with an app so you can track your development over time. That's motivating and helps you make targeted adjustments. Check out the smart scales to get an accurate picture of your body composition.

Which fitness products do you need?

Which fitness products suit you best depends mainly on your training goal and the space you have at home. If you want to improve your fitness or lose weight, cardio machines like a treadmill or exercise bike are a logical foundation. If your focus is on strength, you'll get a long way with adjustable weights and resistance bands, without needing a lot of square footage.

If you're just starting out, go for accessible products with a low entry barrier and a clear app, so you can build up easily. If you mainly want to track your progress, a fitness tracker and a smart scale make a strong combination. By first getting clear on your goal, your available space and your budget, you'll specifically choose the products that you'll actually use every day.

What to look out for when choosing fitness products

Before you order a fitness product, it pays to weigh a few points carefully. This way you avoid a bad purchase and choose gear that suits your goal, your space and your way of working out. In any case, pay attention to the following:

• Training goal: decide whether you mainly want to train cardio, strength or recovery, because that steers your choice the most.
• Available space: measure the spot where you'll be working out and, where possible, choose compact or foldable devices.
• Maximum user weight: check whether the device is suitable for your weight, especially with treadmills and exercise bikes.
• Resistance and cushioning: look at the resistance levels and the shock absorption, as these determine your comfort and the challenge.
• App and connectivity: a good app gives you insight into your training and keeps you motivated to keep going.
• Warranty and service: go for products with at least two years of warranty and reliable aftercare.

By weighing these points against each other in advance, you'll confidently choose the right fitness product. That way you invest in gear that you'll enjoy using for years and that genuinely contributes to your results.
