The colder it is the harder it becomes to stay active. Suddenly the local gym becomes the only option to get a workout in as frigid temps and icy weather keep us from our favorite parks and trails. Home gyms are the second option, but if not outfitted properly our setup can become an inconvenience rather than an enjoyment.
Simply put, cold weather puts a damper on (1) our motivation and (2) a limit on the different ways we can get our workouts in.
The gym essentials we pulled together here below consist of apparel and gear. The goal of this roundup is to stir up motivation—either through the feeling of premium performance wear or through some Kick-A equipment.
Best Gym Essentials for Cold Weather
If you’re looking to add to your home gym (or looking to start), you can get some insane full-body workouts from the JAXJOX Dumbbell Connect set and the TRX Minimal Fit System.
Combining the two of these products would give you a myriad of workout options, but if you’re looking for more traditional weight training the JAXJOX is the move. If you’re looking for bodyweight exercises that increase flexibility and lean you out, go with the TRX.
- Saturday’s NYC All-Terrain Active Short
As far as apparel goes, brands like Vuori, lululemon, Nike, adidas, and Saturdays NYC all hit on the different types of activity we fall into during the winter.
Are you the pick-up basketball all-star? Check out the adidas Trae Young 1 and Vuori Sunday Joggers. Treadmill junkie? Look to the On Cloud 2.0 and the All-Terrain Active Short and Short Sleeve duo.
And for the cooldown and recovery phase, we’ve got some sleek modern products. Go with the Closca Bottle for hydration and the TheraGun prime for muscle relaxation and repair.
We need all the motivation we can get in these cold-weather months. Read through this list and snag the products that inspire you to get up and get training.
