Exercise And Health Gear For Travel: Black Friday Specials
I know I haven’t been writing much lately, but I have been producing content. Check out our YouTube channel and our audio podcast. New episodes released weekly. If you want to support the show, many of the links below earn us a small commission.
Anyone who knows me probably read the title to this story and thought, “there’s no way Ed wrote this”. You’d be mostly right. While I do use the Peloton app on the road to squeeze in some workouts I’m far, far less likely to exercise than my wife. A marathoner, fitness nut and pilates instructor, she’s constantly looking for ways to keep her healthy routine intact while we travel.
I asked my wife to update the list she put together last year, adding some new items and updating prices.
You won’t find any batteries, cables or headphones on this list (though I do have those items covered). Just a bunch of gear to help you stay in shape (with a brief comment from my wife on each). If you click on our Amazon links we do earn a commission. My wife has her eye on a few more travel exercise gadgets, so we appreciate the support!
Theragun Mini Massager 2.0 (25% Black Friday Discount)
Comments from my wife: Perfect for on the go muscle relief. Same quality as it’s larger counterpart but smaller, easier to fit in your carry-on.
Stealth Core Deluxe Trainer
Michelle’s thoughts: It’s a video game integrated core trainer using your phone and their app. 4 Free apps with the purchase of the device. This may even motivate my husband. Travel version can fit in your carry-on!
Adjustable Wrist/Ankle Weights (17% Black Friday Discount)
Comments from my wife: These are a sneaky and stylish way to add zip to any workout while being hands free. Running through the airport to catch your plane just got a lot more interesting.
Collapsible Foam Roller (7% Black Friday Discount)
Comments from my wife: Another on the go muscle release tool for those who love foam rolling.
Apple Watch Series 10 (13%-18% Black Friday Discount)

TriggerPoint Foam Massage Ball for Deep-Tissue Massage (15% Black Friday Discount)

Foldable Kettle Bell (20% Black Friday Discount)
MELT Hand & Foot Therapy Ball Kit

Anchors to a door and the TRX training club app will guide you through the perfect workout. Prefer Pilates? Check out the TryBe app for Pilates949 suspension workouts.
KETTLE GRYP
Michelle’s thoughts: If you rely on hotel fitness centers but prefer kettle bell workouts vs. dumbbell, this is the best dumbbell converter. Simply clamp it around your choice of weight and instant kettlebell weight.
Redify 2 Pack Adjustable Jump Rope for Workout (20% Black Friday Discount)
Michelle’s thoughts: The best full body cardio workout is a childhood favorite. This jump rope choice is a good option and packs easily.
Gaiam Foldable Yoga Mat (15% Black Friday Discount)
Michelle’s thoughts: I’m writing this list from a hotel room and wish I had this right now. Hotel towels aren’t covering it. A foldable yoga mat would be perfect for me!
Portable Water Bottle Humidifier (25% Black Friday Discount + $6 Coupon)
Michelle’s take: Hotel rooms are dry as a bone, especially in winter. This water bottle humidifier fits easily in my suitcase and helps make hotel rooms much more comfortable.
The Final Two Pennies
My wife is very resourceful when we’re on family vacations. She manages to keep her workout routine mostly intact no matter where we are. At least one of these items is in our suitcase no matter where we go. Usually she brings more than one so she can have a variety of workouts on the road. Some of these items have some pretty good Black Friday specials. Happy hunting!
