Hot yoga classes are no match for this sturdy, slip-free mat. You could throw a bucket of water on it and it would still be sticky AF.

2. Nayoya Acupressure Mat
The Nayoya Acupressure Mat is great for relieving tension. It can alleviate stress and sciatic pain in just 20 minutes a day.

3. ALPHA Ball
For the deep tissue aficionado, the size and slight give of this ball digs in beautifully to those tight little spots.
4. Coregeous Ball
I learned in my training that this ball has helped cure one woman’s endometriosis. Anecdotal, but !!! I use it for when I need some soft tissue release but can’t handle the “ah, yes!” pain of a deep tissue ball experience.
5. Yoga Tune-Up Therapy Ball PLUS Pair in Tote
Promising review: “So glad I finally invested in one of these! At first I thought this one would be too big, but honestly it’s great and gets every muscle. Great quality for the price too.” -Kelly B.
Get it for $35 at Target.
7. Resistance Bands
Promising review: “OKAY. This is the BEST product I’ve bought on amazon in a while. I’ve used these and incorporated them into my workout, for my glutes, thighs and abs, and I swear to god I have lost 5.5 lbs in 3 weeks, and gained muscle in all the right places. Just increase your resistance each week, and be consistent. I can’t believe I went this long without these. If you’re wondering if they work, I promise you they do. Buy these and change your life. I use the workout for women app and use these in every workout. Life changing.” -Connor

8. Dumbbell Set
Promising review: “This is great. It is compact and is the perfect size for my studio apartment. It can be tucked away in a corner or under desk.
It is colorful and bright. Weights are the exact weight It displays (according to my scale)
This took 3 minutes to assemble and was very self explanatory. You will need a Phillips screw driver to put the weight holder together.”
Get it for $50 on Amazon.
9. Kettlebell Set
Promising review: “I purchased these weights to help me improve my overall fitness, and they have not disappointed. This basic set is great for practically anyone and the price was excellent for what you get. Because they are lighter than some other weights they can be used in lots of exercises. They appear well made and have held up with regular use. The grips feel good to me, no issues there. I would definitely recommend these weights!”
Get them for $43 on Amazon.
10. Yoga Wheel
Promising review: “I am 235 pounds, and this wheel is nice and wide. It holds my weight, and supports my back as I roll back and forth on it. I will absolutely recommend this brand to friends. It seems to be made very well, and does not slip on my carpet. It feels durable and strong.” -Linzy
Get it for $26 on Amazon.
11. Yoga Blocks
Promising review: “This yoga block has really transformed my practice. I used cheap compressed foam blocks for years and didn’t think a heavier cork block would make any difference. Then I attended a yoga class at a new location and they had several Manduka cork blocks mixed in amongst the usual foam blocks.
I decided to try one out for the heck of it. I was absolutely floored at the difference the block made in my stability during balance poses. As counterintuitive as it sounds, it actually allowed me to be less reliant on my arms for the additional balance as I didn’t have to grip as hard to keep the block from moving and when I did need the extra support it was firmly yet comfortably there. From that day on, I tried to get to class early enough to grab one of the Manduka blocks.
A few months later I came late and had to use a foam block. I hated it so much I went onto amazon and bought my own Manduka block as soon as I returned home. These blocks will likely outlast all of my other yoga accessories.
They are extremely high quality and feel so much nicer on your hands than some of the other cork blocks I’ve felt, which seem to have a chunkier, harsher texture. You really do get what you pay for and these blocks are 110% worth the extra cost.” -Dr. Borue

12. Yoga Mat Holder
Promising review: “Easy to assemble, holds a lot, my workout room is now perfectly organized. Great price as well. 10/10 recommend!”
Get it for $28 on Amazon.
13. Storage Organizer
Promising review: “First I have to say, you will get a good whooping from these when you first try to find your rhythm haha lol I messed up soo many times but I can do it better now, I like them because it helps me warm up quicker than stretching before exercise. You start to feel it in your legs, and realize you ain't a kid anymore lol.” -Charlie M.
Get it for $9 on Amazon.
16. JBL FLIP 4 - Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Promising review: “There’s that old expression: “more bang for your buck” and that really applies to this JBL. I bought one after my old trusty Bose, took one too many spills and stopped connecting. I needed something that fit my budget and the JBL did just that - and more. Connecting was easy and the sound quality is out of this world good. A little rumble at max volume and bass, but nothing unusual. The sound quality is stellar - it’s almost like the JBL I knew from the 80’s is back. Battery life is amazing - even better than my old Bose. You will not be disappointed. I’m buying another and that doesn’t happen often.” -Mark B.
Get it for $97 on Amazon.
17. Amazon Fire TV 43" 4-Series 4K UHD Smart TV
Promising review: “There really isn't anything bad to say about this tv. 50 inch. Great picture, very easy to mount, and the setup was super easy. Since I already had fire tv devices, it just transferred all the info to the new tv. Whole process with the update and such took less than 10 minutes. At this price, just great.”
Get it on Amazon for $290.
18. Cooling Towels
Promising review: “I love these towels, and I am SO GLAD I got a 3 pack bundle instead of just purchasing 1. I have been using them for the gym, and when I lay out. They are life savers in the gym. I am kept cool, so I was able to extend my workout time. I used two for myself, and loaned one to my boyfriend. I live in California so if I want to lay out I like to wet and ring as instructed, and then put them in my refrigerator for a really cooling effect! I use these towels over my face and neck, so I don't expose these areas to the heavy sun. They feel amazing. Many thanks again! Oh btw, the towels stayed cool through an over 2 hr workout.” -Sabrina R.
