If motivation comes more easily when it's shared, this one's for you. Strava is the home of movement, says judge Jenna Louise. "Performance meets community, and that's what keeps people consistent.

It feels like carrying a smart training partner with me every time I head out."

"I’ve had my WHOOP for over five years and it’s taught me a lot about my body and how to stay connected to it," says judge Jenna Louise. "It’s been a constant, keeping me accountable to my recovery, not just my output. When you’re training at a high level, that awareness becomes essential." The WHOOP 4.0 tracks sleep, strain and recovery, then gives you a clear daily score to guide decisions. Over time, it shows how stress, alcohol or poor sleep affect your body - helpful if you tend to push through fatigue rather than adjust when your body needs it.

The Apple AirTag isn't marketed as a health tool, but clipped into a bag or carried on a walk, it offers a simple way to stay connected through location tracking. If you prefer walking solo but still want back-up in the background, it's a small addition that can make a difference.

Whether you're doing cardio boxing classes, mitt work with a trainer or hitting a bag at home, these are the gloves you've been waiting for.

Every pair of boxing gloves needs a good hand wrap underneath - and Sting's elasticised wraps are the ones to trust. They protect your knuckles, stabilise your wrists and make your gloves fit more snugly, which means cleaner, more powerful punches and less risk of injury. Easy to wrap, comfortable to train in.

No ceiling hooks, no drilling, no problem.

The iFIT integration keeps you engaged when the mileage builds and, honestly, once you have that level of convenience, it’s hard to go back."

HART Sport's Aqua Boxing Gloves bring a fun, high-energy dimension to pool workouts - jab, punch and push through the water and your arms, shoulders and core light up. The 'boxing glove' shape encourages proper movement patterns, and because resistance comes from water rather than weights, they're gentle on arthritic or sensitive joints.

Try pushing water dumbbells underwater and you'll quickly feel how hard your arms, shoulders and core are working.
