Tracking every rep is no fun, So Fort's new screenless wearable does it for you. It automatically logs sets, reps, rest, tempo, and more while you focus on getting your gym on.

Sure, a home weight room would be nice, but not everyone has the space or funds for one. xplate is the latest product designed to address that problem, by stuffing a modular weight training system into a case that can be taken anywhere.

Bone conduction offer the freedom of listening to music while staying aware of your surroundings – and now you can take this tech underwater with Jabeees' 7Seven headphones. And, at US$79.99, they keep pace with many of their more expensive competitors.

Stationary bike trainers provide a good workout for the lower body, but they don't do much for the upper body. That's where the S-Rower comes in, as it's a low-cost partial rowing machine that connects to your bike trainer for a full-body workout.

Although treadmills do let you vary your running speed, you have to reach down and hit the controls in order to do so. The Kickr Run offers a more natural alternative, in that it automatically adjusts its belt speed to match your running speed.

While cable machines do allow users to perform many weight training exercises, the devices can cost up to several thousand dollars. The $75 Hyperbell Cable system, however, reportedly lets you do those same exercises using your existing dumbbells.

Rowing machines are one of those things that many fitness-conscious people want but don't get, due to their high price and large size. The RowBro is designed to address those problems, as it's ultra-compact and should ultimately sell for just US$599.

Keeping fit indoors can be a challenge, though the challenge with many home fitness devices is maintaining motivation. So-called smart rowing machines can help keep you engaged, and Peloton has now put its long-rumored Row up for pre-order.

Rowing machines provide a great workout but they do take up a lot of space, which is why many fold in half. The King Smith WR1 takes things a step further, by folding in thirds to form a wheeled wood-sided cube.

If someone is serious about weightlifting, they'll typically buy a set of dumbbells, a barbell, and weight plates for the barbell. The new Dualbell system, however, allows existing dumbbells to take the place of the plates, saving space and money.

When you're working out with dumbbells, stopping to add or remove weights can disrupt the whole flow of things. In order to keep those stops as short as possible, NordicTrack has introduced its voice-controlled iSelect Adjustable Dumbbells.

We've seen bikes that are powered by both the arms and legs, plus we've seen ones that are rowed instead of (or along with) being pedaled. The Varibike Extreme, however, combines both types of exercise in a unique new fashion.
