This water bottle is perfect for working out because it can keep drinks cold for 24 hours. The gym can get pretty dang hot, so having a drink of your ice-cold water will help keep you cool and hydrated while you work out.

No need to worry about tangling that annoying cord when you run or your earbuds staying in place no matter where you put your phone during your squat routine. Looking to spoil your #fitspo friend? Some pairs of wireless headphones cost up to $200, but you can also get a decent pair for as low as $25.

For the girl who won’t give up running outside, these gloves will let her switch the song on your playlist without stopping to take off those thick mittens mid-run. Most importantly, they’ll keep her hands warm, and with some styles starting as low as $22, they’ll keep your wallet stuffed and warm, too.
Part of Adidas’ line of training gear, this watch syncs to your phone to give you voice feedback and a personalized workout training plan, plus a heart-rate monitor, GPS, and MP3 player.
