OrangeTheory Fitness Founder Drishti Chhabria On The Best Fitness Gear In 2024

I believe that what you can’t measure, you can’t improve, and wearable devices are a must-have for tracking performance and progress. I recommend the OTbeat Burn for heart-rate-based workouts. This Orangetheory monitor helps track calories, distance, pace, and more, while syncing seamlessly with gym equipment.

LBB Tip: This is available in Orangetheory Fitness Outlets only. 

For fitness outside the gym, WHOOP’s advanced tracker measures sleep, stress, recovery, and overall health metrics. 

Choosing the right footwear can prevent injuries and boost performance, and for me, it’s OnClouds (CloudMonster and CloudStratus). They’re great for running and mixed training, as these sneakers offer excellent shock absorption and flexibility.

For those into heavy weightlifting, it's important to have shoes designed with sturdy, stiff soles and a lift in the heel to provide more mobility in your calf and ankle. Nike Metcons are versatile enough to be worn for both weightlifting and cross-training, with sturdy soles and soft foam insoles.

Recovery is just as important as the workout itself and foam rollers help release muscle tension and improve blood circulation. Known for their multi-density grid patterns, TriggerPoint foam rollers penetrate deeply into tissues, providing effective relief for sore muscles, making it a must-have for all your fitness goals. 

Resistance bands are a compact, adaptable, and highly effective tool for muscle strengthening and injury prevention. TheraBand is a durable and versatile brand of bands for full-body workouts and physiotherapy exercises, perfect for home or travel.

This suspension training band by TRX allows you to perform a full-body workout using bodyweight as resistance to improve core stability, strength, balance, and flexibility.

Affordable and versatile, Decathlon foam rollers are ideal for beginners. Their durable design makes them great for muscle relaxation.

For yoga, the primary requirement for activewear is that it be made of moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics. Crafted with a second-skin feel, Alo Yoga's Airlift leggings support flexibility and movement during yoga or Pilates.

These neutral running shoes are packed with high-density foam cushioning, providing unparalleled comfort for long-distance runners. The breathable upper material keeps your feet cool during extended workouts.

Investing in the right equipment can elevate your workout experience. The WaterRower is excellent for a full-body workout, as it engages 80% of your muscles while improving cardiovascular health.

Dumbbells are essential equipment for a variety of workouts. Ziva’s dumbbells and kettlebells are timeless tools for building strength and endurance, ideal for versatile strength training and muscle toning.

Hydration is non-negotiable when it comes to meeting your fitness goals. I advocate for the Stanley Cups. This insulated tumbler keeps your drinks cold for hours. Its ergonomic design makes it easy to carry. 

The Ultra Human Ring is a state-of-the-art health tracker designed for performance and precision. Crafted with a sleek, minimalist design, this lightweight yet durable ring offers advanced monitoring of metabolic health, sleep patterns, and recovery levels. Its discreet form factor makes it ideal for continuous wear, ensuring seamless integration into your daily routine. With features like real-time heart rate tracking, movement insights, and personalised recommendations, it empowers users to optimise their fitness and wellness.
