GOTRAX’s F2 Electric Bike

What better way to stay on your fitness goals this year than to ride around town on the perfect bike? GOTRAX’s F2 Electric Bike is what you need in your life. Not only is it sleek, stylish, and eco-friendly, its lightweight frame and foldable design is convenient and portable wherever you go. Its foldable frame makes your e-bike easier to fit in your car, closet, small apartment, or any tight space. The F2’s pedal assist and throttle allows you to be in control. Choose between 5 different speed settings ranging from 7 mph to 20 mph, or use the throttle setting to skip the pedaling entirely. $799

 

DMoose 3-in-1 Adjustable Dumbbell, Barbell & Kettlebell Set

Having a home gym is amazing, but finding space for all the equipment can be a struggle. The DMOOSE 3-in-1 Adjustable Set seamlessly combines dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells, offering a versatile and space-efficient solution! Its compact design minimizes clutter, while the secure locking mechanism ensures safe and stable workouts. This durable set supports a variety of exercises, making it a practical choice for fitness enthusiasts aiming to maximize their training within limited space.

“As a personal trainer, I like simple products. Dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells are some of my favorite strength tools. To have multiples of all of those is expensive and takes up entirely too much space. What I love about the DMoose 3-in-1 Adjustable Dumbbell, Barbell, Kettlebell set is that with one click in a rack, the weight can be added or subtracted easily. The plates don’t clank and the look and feel are sleek. It’s a great product for any home gym, but an essential piece for personal trainers.” ~ Brook Benten, TLM contributor $349
