1. The Gadget:<\/strong> The Fitbit Blaze
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> This latest model from the king of trackers is a fit take on the classic smart watch, alerting you to calls and texts on its color screen. Naturally, the Blaze also offers all of Fitbit\u2019s other data-sensing features, including the souped-up versions with heart rate monitoring and GPS tracking. Also available on the color touchscreen are on-screen workout ideas and music control \u2014 when you really need to boost those BPMs. At just under $200, it\u2019s a steal compared to other smart watches.

2. The Gadget:<\/strong> Under Armour HealthBox
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> If you\u2019re a fan of UA\u2019s sleek, sporty gear (or its badass spokeswomen like Misty Copeland<\/a>), you\u2019ll love the brand\u2019s first big foray into the tech market with its three-pronged system dubbed the HealthBox. The set features\u00a0Under Armour’s first wearable tracker, the UA Band, which displays workout duration, steps and intensity \u2014 no touch required.\u00a0You’ll also get\u00a0a chest-strap heart rate monitor to gather additional activity data as well as a smart scale, which can register up to eight different users. All three pieces of hardware use Bluetooth to sync to the UA Record app, where you can look at all of your calibrated stats in one place. The bundle will sell for $400, but you can buy them separately, too.

3. The Gadget:<\/strong> Gymwatch Sensor
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> If you\u2019re a stickler about form, this German device, which is just now available in the U.S., will help you really stick to it. Worn while using free weights, machines or when performing bodyweight exercises, this wearable\u00a0is designed to\u00a0detect incorrect execution of a move. You\u2019ll get instant audio feedback through the\u00a0companion app, helping you adjusting your posture, grip and pace accordingly. One device will cost you $99, less than a pricey personal training session.

4. The Gadget:<\/strong> Samsung Family Hub Fridge
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> Love produce? (Well, duh<\/a>.) Invest in this fridge \u2014 it will keep track of how long that kale’s been in there, so you can make sure you\u2019re eating your greens before they wilt. And if you and your family\u2019s wrists are already stacked with one of Samsung\u2019s wearables such as the Gear Fit, they\u2019re all in sync with the fridge, too. So imagine this kind of magic happening: You walk in the door from a workout and your fridge will actually know<\/em> that you exercised, making dietary suggestions with what\u2019s already stocked on your own shelves. Amazing, right? But at $5,000, this is no cheap-o appliance. However, it\u2019ll last you years \u2014 and help you make healthier decisions in the process.

5. The Gadget:<\/strong>\u00a0Hexoskin Shirt
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> Called the \u201cworld\u2019s first biometric smart shirt,\u201d the Hexoskin\u2019s 2016 CES entry’s got a solution for both men and women. Measuring data like heart rate, breathing rate and movement, you can sync up the data with a variety of\u00a0wellness apps, including MapMyRun and RunKeeeper. If this is your first foray with Hexoskin, you can\u2019t just buy a shirt: You\u2019ll also need the corresponding hardware pack, which includes the battery back<\/a> and USB cable, too. If you pre-order now, you can still grab a $299 special for the set for either gender, as its market price has yet to be confirmed.

6. The Gadget:<\/strong> iFit NordicTrack Escape
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> Well, there\u2019s no doubt about it: NordicTrack has created the world\u2019s coolest treadmill. While a giant 60-inch 4K OLED TV, turned on its side for maximum runner visibility, transports you to scenic locations far and wide \u2014 Google Street View enables you to even go block by block if you\u2019d like. Four motors inside the machine replicate rolling hills or steep declines, gently jostling you from side to side at times, simulating the outdoor terrain of whichever locale you\u2019ve chosen. With such technological precision, this baby definitely won\u2019t come cheap \u2014 its current retail estimate is $8,000-$10,000 \u2014 but it might just be worth it if you\u2019re often stuck indoors.

7. The Gadget:<\/strong> KuaiWear Coaching Headphones
\n<\/span>Why You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> Think of these wireless headphones as way more than earbuds, because they\u2019re practically a portable personal trainer. The set has a biometric sensor that provides you with real-time, vocal feedback on your performance. The \u201ccoach\u201d also helps you adjust your pace and stride based on the newfound information. With the corresponding app and seamless Bluetooth connectivity, they\u2019re also waterproof up to three meters (hello, lap lane) and have a seven-hour battery life. If you preorder until February 1, you can a pair for just $149.

8. The Gadget:<\/strong> Emfit QS Sleep Monitor
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> The Emfit is a sleep tracker \u2014 but one designed with better athletic performance in mind, focusing on quantifying your overnight recovery data. (Think: How well did my muscles repair from yesterday\u2019s WOD?) Rather than slapping it onto your wrist, this non-invasive model is easily tucked under your mattress, from which it wirelessly transmits data to the paired app. It has a heart rate monitor that is so detailed it not only measures your beats per minute, but also your heart-rate variability, a measure of the time between beats. And since fitter people have higher HRVs<\/a>, generally speaking, you\u2019ll be able to keep an eye on your own fitness levels while you\u2019re getting your own shut-eye. At $275, it\u2019s not a steal, but we like to think of it as a thoughtful investment for the eight most important hours of your day.

\"LEVL

9. The Gadget:<\/strong> LEVL
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> While the exact science behind what causes weight loss is still debated (and often highly personal), the LEVL is looking to figure out exactly\u00a0how people lose weight\u00a0utilizing new technologies. By analyzing the acetone in your breath \u2014 like a Breathalyzer minus the booze \u2014 the system offers unique information about your metabolism, specifically providing you with a number to indicate your current fat burning state. (The range is from 1 to 6; 4 or higher and you\u2019re humming.) The LEVL has potential to be groundbreaking in the weight loss world, so keep your eyes peeled. But because it\u2019s still in such nascent design stages, there\u2019s currently no price\u00a0yet.

10. The Gadget:<\/strong> Mio PAI Tracker
\nWhy You\u2019ll Love It:<\/strong> There are all kinds of trackers out there \u2014 but have you heard of one before that wants to extend your life? Unlike any other Mio trackers, the PAI addresses your Personal Activity Intelligence score<\/a>, a purported\u00a0new measure of wellbeing. Garnered from a variety of tracker stats, focusing in on\u00a0your heart rate, the PAI score indicates how much you\u2019re really maximizing your lifespan and reducing your chances of lifestyle-related disease, according to Mio’s manufacters. Since the wearable with the PAI app built-in is still in R&D stages, there\u2019s no price yet \u2014 but we\u2019re betting on immortality FTW.\u00a0Because who doesn’t wanna live forever?
