Navigating life amid a global pandemic for nearly two years has left many of us frazzled and sluggish. If you’re emotionally and physically drained, tech can help: There’s no shortage of connected technologies that promise to help you sleep better, manage your stress, and boost your mood. Fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, the smart health and fitness market—which includes everything from connected home gym equipment and meditation apps to wearable wellness gadgets and Wi-Fi-enabled bathroom scales—shows no signs of slowing down.

It’s not an exaggeration to say these technologies can be a true blessing. When gyms across the country shut down, smart fitness devices helped many of us stay sane at home in quarantine (myself included). Whether you’re looking to work up a sweat, calm down your racing mind, get more sleep, or improve your nutrition, these products and apps can help you meet your goals.

But with so many options to choose from, it can be tough to narrow them down, and that’s where we come in. At PCMag, our mission is to help you make the most informed buying decisions, which is why we exhaustively test every product and analyze its strengths, weaknesses, and value compared with the competition.

As PCMag’s fitness expert (and a yoga teacher), I get to review all the latest smart health technologies, and some of the recent innovations I’ve seen are truly impressive. But not every product is a winner, and not every good product is the right fit for everyone.

For this story, we’re gathering some of the best health and fitness products and software you can use right now, and we’re taking a look at some of the more promising technologies on the horizon. If a product catches your eye, be sure to check out its full review on PCMag.com.
