The best fitness tech for college students


Here's the tech, gear and apps we've tried and recommend for students looking to stay fit with limited space, time and funds.

We’re not saying these products will magically open up time in your schedule, but a little motivation from a fitness tracker, good audio from workout earbuds and affordable apps that get you moving without a gym membership might make raising your heart rate a little easier. Our UK bureau chief, Mat Smith, who does five HIIT and/or weight training classes per week, finds that it works nearly as well as Theragun’s much pricier Elite flagship percussive therapy gun. The caveat is the price: it’s $170 for the unit and $5 each month for the membership — but if a new living situation, noisy roommates or the stress of coursework has you struggling to get a good night’s sleep, it could be worth it.
