Good Housekeeping's 2023 Fitness Awards Are Here!
Whether you've reactivated your in-person gym membership or you now consider yourself an exclusive work-from-home and workout-from-home enthusiast, you’ve likely reevaluated your fitness routine within the past year or two. Maybe you’ve found a passion for virtual dance cardio sessions to start the day or you finally bought those resistance bands you had your eye on. Regardless of how your routine has changed, the trend this year (and one we hope is here to stay) is finding joy in the exercise and movement you choose to engage in.
Selecting the right gear to complement your exercise habits can add to that joy by providing a safer and more effective workout too. Plus, quality equipment and fitness apparel may give you that extra boost of motivation and push you to stick with it. That’s why our product experts and at-home testers put the latest exercise innovations through their paces to pinpoint the most impressive finds for GH’s annual Fitness Awards. Our 68 winners deliver superior performance while making exercise engaging, fun and something to look forward to. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or you consider yourself an elite athlete, we have top-tested picks that can level up any workout routine.
The wide array of experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Wellness Lab make it one of the most comprehensive fitness-evaluation facilities in the industry. Our experts include on-staff certified personal trainers, fitness instructors, registered dietitians, fiber scientists, mechanical engineers and more. With our unique background, we’re able to combine expertise from different domains to comprehensively evaluate all varieties of fitness products and equipment. For example, our fiber scientists will evaluate workout leggings through extensive tests to gauge moisture management, opacity under standardized lighting, washability and more. Our fitness pros will take those same leggings and run them through everything from long walks to hardcore high-intensity interval training circuits to see how they move and feel during a workout.
But we didn’t have just our experts evaluate these products. We enlisted the support of over 300 consumer testers across the nation for real-life feedback on how easy products were to set up and use and whether they enhanced the testers’ current workouts and encouraged them to get moving. Our winners not only excel in performance but also make fitness engaging and gratifying. After rigorously evaluating hundreds of fitness products over the past five months, we’ve narrowed down a superb list that will set you up with the right tools and advice to elevate your 2023 workouts.
