Gone are the days when gym equipment was large, bulky, and unappealing to the eye. Now more than ever, fitness gear has taken an artful turn, allowing you to break a sweat without compromising on style and design. Whether you want to fully revamp your home gym with a sculptural stationary bike or bring a colorful yoga mat to your practice, there are options available for any budget. With these eight pieces, your workout can be just as much a part of your home as it is of you.
This Anthropologie Yoga Mat ($98) doesn't have the look or feel of your average yoga mat. It's both vibrant and eclectic, yet durable enough so you won't slip during your practice.
This Alias Chrome Barbell ($152) looks more like a sculpture than fitness gear. Originally designed for a light workout between work meetings, this weight will help keep you toned in your home or office.
Don't be fooled by the Ugi Ball's ($169) pink color. It has an endless number of uses and is perfect for stability, strength, and endurance training.
Add color and a feminine touch to your gym with these Kathy Smith Kettlebells ($25) — perfect for toning your upper body at home.
Bring a pop of color to your kickboxing workout with these Everlast Women's ProTex2 Training Gloves ($31-$70). Not only are they pink, but they also offer a great fit and maximum wrist support.
Make resistance training more fun with this light-blue Gaiam Resistance Cord ($15). Its medium resistance allows for a quality, colorful workout anywhere — even a hotel room!
Lunar Europe has set out on a mission to make your training experience fit for home. Its Vela indoor stationary bike has the look of a sculpture and the functionality of a bike. The same company has even created an at-home boulder wall that looks like art! For more information, check out the website.
Made from 100% balsa wood, the Jade Yoga Block ($20) will support your pose with comfort and stye.
