Sometimes the best way to get yourself to the gym is by bringing the gym to your living room.

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I wanted to try it because I HATE working out. But y’all — I received mine today and it was so easy, AND SO FUN. I can feel it working cause it makes my whole body tired when I stop. Very easy to put together, and it’s easier than an actual fitness hoop. I was skeptical at first because I always buy workout stuff then shove it in my closet and never use it again — but I can already tell I’m going to use this everyday. I love it, and I’m excited to start seeing results. 🥰🥰" —Mookie

UrbnFit is a small business creating a variety of different pieces of fitness equipment.

Promising review: "Came in a compact box with a hand pump. Pretty easy to blow up! I use it at my desk instead of a chair, and it's been great for my posture. Also just super fun to bounce around on and stretch with. It's so fun to use that it actually has motivated me to do little ab workouts with it every day. Seems very durable and great quality for such a good price! :)" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This dumbbell set is great for anyone looking to do some home workouts. The neoprene coating is comfortable and easy to grip. They are also very durable — I dropped the 8-lb on the ground cause I tripped on my own feet, and there wasn't even a mark on it (unlike my floor). I also really like the hexagon shape since I don't have to worry about them rolling away between sets. I haven't noticed any uneven weight distribution or balance issues either. Even though I bought the 3-lb, 5-lb, and 8-lb set it would be easy and affordable to add more dumbbells that match in higher weights when I'm ready. The stand is a little flimsy so you have to be careful when grabbing or putting away a weight, but it's held up so far and does the job." —Rachel Fuji

Get the three-pair set from Amazon for $35.99+ (also available as single sets from 1–20 pounds).

Palace Learning is a small business creating educational, anatomy, art, fitness and more posters.

Promising reviews: "I love these cards! I get bored of doing the same workouts over and over and then lose my motivation, but with these, it's easy to quickly change up your routine. I love the art style of the illustrations (ones with faces creep me out!) and the detail on the back of the cards, explaining how to properly do the exercise, as well as what muscles are targeted, and the amount of reps to aim for. I've been choosing about 6 cards to lay on the bench/floor, and then pairing them with an app which automatically times my intervals for me, and it keeps me focused for the full length of my workout!" —Alanna

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Genevieve Scarano says, "I work out at home a lot, so it's important for me to have an exercise mat that's cushy, sturdy, and easy to roll up and put away. I received this Gaiam yoga mat as a sample and really enjoy using it for yoga and Pilates! It's so comfortable to stand, sit, and lay down on, and I don't have to worry about sliding around, thanks to a grippy material. It's also fun to flip the sides (my mat above came with light blue and dark blue sides) — I've never had a yoga mat with this design before! And if you don't have a lot of space, no worries, because this mat rolls up to a compact size when you're done exercising."

Get it from Amazon for $22.89+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "I am not one to take time to write a review, but I LOVE THIS! It takes a few minutes to get used to the balance, but I walk in a backward motion on it all the time now. I seem to go faster and smoother in a reverse motion. It had a slight squeak when I first got it, but no longer, it's quiet and so compact. I jump on anytime and watch TV or Netflix. I've exercised on and off my whole life, this is by far my favorite machine ever!! I look forward to getting on and catching up with the news or whatever is on TV, but not just sitting there and being able to exercise at the same time is so easy now. I'm ordering a second one today to keep in my bedroom when my children take over the basement with their friends and my elliptical. Don't hesitate to buy this — you won't regret it!" —Amazon Customer

Quiet Punch is a small business that started to make boxing accessible for all!

Plus, the punching bag comes with access to the Quiet Punch Play app, which has more than 100 hours of on-demand training and workout routines, meaning even beginners can use this equipment.

Promising review: "I have a really hard time self-motivating when it comes to exercising. But since I’ve gotten the Quiet Punch play system, I have felt totally excited and motivated to use it daily and have really noticed a difference in my energy, strength, and endurance. The bag is really easy to use, convenient for any space (especially small spaces like apartments), and installing it couldn’t be easier. I love being able to track my punches and the amount of content online; training videos, technique how-tos, and live classes provide so many great options for workouts. I just downloaded the app, which is amazing, and I am so happy with the positive changes in my mood as a result of this awesome product. Highly recommend!!" —Elizabeth K

Promising reviews: "Obsessed. I’ve been working from home since March 2020 and have struggled with a sedentary life. Since I got this treadmill for under my desk, I actually look forward to starting work, feel more productive, and have been easily getting in 15,000–20,000+ steps a day. Wish I did this sooner!" —Lauren O.

Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "It was easy to assemble using directions given. Very sturdy and easy to use. I bought it for exercising/gym workouts at home, and I have been loving it." —TyrellAkola Gray

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I am impressed with this product! It's super lightweight, easy to use and hold, and has made working out fun again! The buttons are easy to use, it took less than a minute to set up, and it keeps track of how many jumps and feels comfortable in the hands. I find myself using it daily and since the handles keep track of how many jumps, I try to break the previous day's records! Definitely would recommend!" —cassandra

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "These rope-less jump trainers are perfect for me. I had tried them in a gym setting once before and fell in love because they offered solutions for my work travel and low ceilings at home during the winter. They provide the upper body workout with just enough weight in the attached balls. Would order again and again." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors).

The bar fits in up to 35.4-inch door frames. Plus, it has three grip positions; narrow, wide, and neutral.

Promising review: "I love this bar. I live in an apartment with no gym nearby. This was one of the best purchases I have made. I leave it on one of the door frames, and it reminds me to try and do a few pull-ups whenever I pass it. It's great for push-ups as well since my wrists hurt when I lay them flat on the ground." —Roger

Get it from Amazon for $29.45+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "I'm a yoga instructor newer to incorporating wheels into my personal yoga practice, and I have loved using my Pete's Choice wheel. It is very sturdy, constructed with a durable plastic, so it's also very light. The wheel has a neoprene-like foam wrapper on the outside, which provides a soft connection when resting on it and a nice grip when balancing on it. The wheel has so many great uses: Great to rest and recline on to promote flexibility. Can use it to deepen stretching. Provides balancing challenges. I would definitely recommend the Pete's Choice wheel to my students." —Kim

Promising review: "This hoop is GREAT! It is just so much fun to exercise with this thing. I play music and try to dance too lol. But I have experience, they used to have a weighted hoop in the gym I went to and I did it all the time. Highly recommend. You just need to make sure it's clicked together correctly or it'll come undone! Don't worry if it happens to you, though, it's totally fixable. It happened to me I think twice before I got it down. Anyway, if you're looking for a weighted hoop, look no more!" —Molls

Get it from Amazon for $39.49+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I've been using these sliders for almost a month now, and they are great. I have used them both barefoot and with shoes on with no issues. They work well on carpet, rugs, and tile. For the tile, I flip them over so the soft side is facing down, that way nothing gets scratched. So far they have provided great results with my workouts, I use them almost every day. They seem so simple and easy, but they provide intense workouts when used properly." —Eric

Get them from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping Writer Abby Kass loves these! 

"I first came across this mat while scrolling TikTok and thought it was such a cool idea. Ever since I saw it, it has been on my wishlist. Rolling up a yoga mat can be so challenging sometimes, especially when you're in the middle of the workout and need some extra support on your wrist while in a plank. This mat folds up in fourths, so you can give your knees or hands some extra padding. Plus, it's way easier to store flat. It's also two times thicker than the average yoga mat."

Stakt is a woman-founded small business!

Get it from Stakt for $94 (available in six colors). 

And I can't forget to mention one of the smartest features: It has a dumbbell rack at the bottom that fits 1-pound, 2-pound, and 3-pound weights. How cool is that?!?

Promising review: "I'll be honest...I bought this on a whim and then didn't put it together for months. I almost returned it because I hadn't used it, but I'm so glad I didn't. I LOVE THIS BARRE. I look forward to using it every day (and I really don't care to work out generally). It's so fun to use and you can find so many barre classes online for FREE. It's also super easy to fold up and store and for me, that's super important because I live in a tiny space. This is THE best workout tool." —Kathryn

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "The first time I used them, I felt burn (the good kind) in the back/neck area. I looked up a diagram of musculature online, and it corresponded precisely with the trapezius muscles. I know that a product can't cure lazy, but knowing that I'm doing push-ups the right way and being able to feel the results makes me want to do more push-ups." —mbca

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in a four-pack).

Plus, it comes with a resistance band to help get your obliques in the exercises and can hold up to 600 pounds.

Promising review: "This wheel has had a huge impact on me in just under a week of use. I have been rolling out on this wheel for fifteen reps in three sets every day since it has arrived and already I feel much stronger. I hesitate to say that I am starting to see results in such a short period of time, but I am confident that if I keep up the hard work the results will be obvious." —Ahmad

Promising review: "I've recently gotten into kettlebell training, and I've been trying to find 15-lb kettlebells to purchase, but can't find them anywhere. I do have a complete set of dumbbells from 5 lbs up, and with the help of the Kettle Gryp, I can quickly turn the plain vanilla hex dumbbell into a kettlebell within seconds. I really love the versatility of this product and am delighted that I won't ever have to buy kettlebells ever again. These really maximize the utility of my already existing dumbbells and save me tons of money. They are also durable and easy to use. Thumbs up!" —Jonathan G. Smith

Wrist Buddy is a small business founded by a chiropractor who pivoted to creating ergonomic fitness products to elevate your workout routine!

Promising review: "These blocks have been awesome for my yoga practice!! It makes so much sense for yoga blocks to conform to the shape of your hand instead of being just a square block. I broke my left wrist several years ago and recently sprained it playing tennis. Using the Wrist Buddy yoga blocks instead of my usual ones puts a lot less strain on my wrist — and I feel much more comfortable and confident in the poses. Plus, I can do poses with these blocks that I couldn't before because of the support they provide. I have recommended them to my friends!!" —Katharine O'Donovan

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors). 

Promising review: "For those who prefer a hard strap to a stretchy one, it is hard to imagine how this one could be beaten. It is substantial, appears to be sturdy enough to last several lifetimes, easy to use, feels good in the hands and on the foot, perfect width to hold the ball of your foot, and so forth." —S. Aldridge 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and 17 colors).

Promising review: "I love these bands! They are comfortable, they don't slide around, and they are very durable. The colors are exactly as pictured, with the light blue being the easiest, pink being medium, and purple being the most difficult. I use at least one every day! They come with a little bag for storage, and instructions/exercises. I work out from home, and these bands have really added intensity to my workouts. You can also use them in arm workouts as well. These are definitely worth the money, especially if you are trying to target your hips and booty." —Tricksynixie

Get a set of three from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four color combinations).

Promising review: "The best medicine ball I've ever purchased! I've been using these balls at my gym for over a year. Every time we need to add more equipment I order these — there's no need to even look at other brands. Ball slams, core exercises, wall balls — you name it, this product will deliver. Over time you may notice sand leaking if you do a lot of ball slams with them, but it took several months and thousands of slams for me to ever notice leakage (which is to be expected with this construction). It is so versatile and the perfect size. This repeat customer would recommend these for any gym or home gym!" —Casey

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight different weights from 4–22 pounds and various colors).

Equipt is a woman-founded small business combining design and functionality into workout gear. The shape of the Ubarre is designed for comfort and utility.

Promising review: "Ubarre is wild! It targets every area of your body. I have been using it daily and have had the best workout in seven years. I cannot believe how quickly it tones your body." —Brooklyn K

Get it from Equipt for $175 (available in four weights and in six colors).

Don't forget to download the app before you get started so you can play the four free games!

Stealth Fitness is a small business that created this to help make working out fun. 

Promising review: "I really don't enjoy exercise. Using this board, with the app, has made planking more tolerable. I like that it's game-based, so that I can feel more like I'm playing a game than exercising. And I will say, the games make me want to go back and do more so that I can better my score. A nice way to make planking a little less dull and a little less like an exhausting routine." —Ally Cat

Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "My friend recommended this home bicycle to me. I bought it for my small apartment. It looks exactly like the pic. The material quality is high, the setup is easy, and the size is perfect for a small apartment. I am so excited for its working board design. No matter I have to do extra work at home or browse the internet, I can do it with biking. It definitely motivates me when I do not have time to go to the gym or run outside. More importantly, it is not noisy at all, so I do not have to worry about using it too late or too early. Very satisfied with the purchase." —BaggioYang
