The Gear You Need to Keep Fit, Rested, and Balanced
Skip to main content Chris Haslam Jeremy White From a luxe treadmill to a desktop breathing buddy, these gadgets can help fine-tune your body—and mind. Nettle; Mindsight; Norst; Nothing; Lettuce Grow All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Supplements are nice and all, but when it comes to overall health and wellness, a little (or a lot) of gear goes a long way. Exercise equipment, cooking tools, relaxation gadgets—all these things help us live our best lives. Or, at least, lives that are more fulfilling. (Looking at you, vibrators.) Below are our picks for the gear you might need on your own road to wellness. Health Courtesy of Ozlo These tiny earbuds help you fall—and stay—asleep by blocking external noise with a range of soothing tones. If the name sounds familiar, it's because Bose launched the originals in 2018 but canned the tech in 2023. Ex-engineers N.B. Patil, Charles Taylor, and Brian Mulcahey didn't want to give up their dream, so they bought the trademark and reengineered the buds to include biometric sensing technology to monitor your movement and respiration, and added sensors for light, sound, and temperature to the charging case for a better overview of your sleep and environment. Courtesy of Smile Makers Orgasms aren't just fun—they reportedly also reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost your mood. Smile Makers offers a range of bright and unthreatening toys to tickle all the good bits. The range includes the clitoris-teasing Firefighter; G-spot finding Romantic; and the Whisperer, a gentle, non-phallic plaything developed by, and for, new mothers seeking to reconnect with themselves after child-birth and enjoy those big O benefits. Courtesy of Odea B vitamins are essential in energy production, nervous system health, red blood cell formation, and cell growth. You should get enough via a healthy, balanced diet, but these energy-boosting patches (sold in packs of 30) offer a backup, with a 12-hour transdermal release of all the key B vitamins, including B 12 methylcobalamin, offering an energy uplift without the inevitable crash. Courtesy of Nettle Samphire Neuroscience Nettle Billed as the only medically certified hormone- and drug-free treatment for premenstrual syndrome and menstrual pain, the Nettle is a head-mounted wearable designed to boost focus and cerebral performance at key periods in a woman's cycle. Worn for 20 minutes a day during the luteal phase, Nettle mimics the brain's activity during the follicular phase—which, its maker claims, helps combat pain, cramps, low mood, and brain fog. Courtesy of Vital+ $495 $395 (20% off) Vital+ This portable sauna is an easy way to experience a restorative, solitary sweat at home. With 1,600 watts of steam power and a 4-liter reservoir, the SaunaPod gets up to about 120° Fahrenheit, but the high humidity inside the insulated pod makes it feel closer to 190° F. It looks bulky, but it packs flat and is light enough to lift from the porch to the backyard. You can even travel with it. Fitness Courtesy of Norst This writer can't surf, but as part of ankle-fracture rehab, I've been training like a pro. Balance boards like this one, handmade using cork and FSC Certified wood, are brilliant for joint rehabilitation when paired with a roller or a ball underneath. At the same time, they build core strength and improve agility and reaction speed. Being longer than a typical balance board means it can be used to practice surfboard footwork, weight shifts, and even pop-ups, so it's a good intro to the sport for landlubbers. Courtesy of Garmin The excellent Forerunner gets a serious upgrade with an eye-searingly bright 1.4-inch AMOLED screen, a tough sapphire lens and titanium bezel, and an oddly practical LED flashlight. Internally, the fifth-gen heart sensor enables ECG readings and improved health insights, while the new Running Tolerance metric helps runners understand the real impact of their weekly miles. Adding the $170 HRM 600 chest strap unlocks even more tracking features. A current favorite of WIRED's product reviewers, these exceptionally comfortable sports headphones use an open design to keep you aware of your surroundings. The hooked earpieces position the drivers directly over the ear, firing audio where it counts. And, despite lacking the in-ear seal of a typical earbud, the quality 14.2-mm dynamic drivers sound great. There's also an IP54 splash protection rating and enough battery for 30 hours of Jock Jams. Courtesy of Technogym Joseph Pilates invented his particular genre of torture in the 1920s, and while his core-busting, posture-improving, flexibility-enhancing workouts have never been more popular, the typical reformer machine looks more like a medieval rack than a wellness aid. But with Reform, Technogym is merging high-end, interior-friendly design with maximum functionality. A beautiful blend of wood, vegan leather, and aluminum combine with app-guided classes to offer the ultimate in at-home Pilates workouts, with virtual instructors there to coach you through every body-trembling twist. Courtesy of Nordic Track Celebrating NordicTrack's 50th anniversary, this luxe treadmill features white oak trim and an 80-watt sound system, plus eight strategically placed fans to cool you from head to toe as you run. A new ultra-stable deck design means that no matter how fast or hard your AI coach makes you pound fake pavement, the control area and display remain perfectly stable. Courtesy of Tukas EV Morpheus was big on the dire warnings about life as a human battery, but if he'd seen the benefits of juicing his Nokia 8110 with just 15 minutes of people power, he might have seen things from the machine's point of view. This iF 2025 Gold Award–winning design is a brilliantly versatile 2,000-watt-hour battery—but with pedals. It can be configured as a pedal desk, recumbent rider, or classic exercise bike, and a one-hour spin session generates enough energy to fully charge your laptop. If you aren't pedaling quite hard enough to fill the tank, you can plug in solar panels or micro wind-turbines, or even just connect the whole thing to a wall socket to get that power bar all the way up. It's intended to be used as a backup battery in the event of a blackout or other emergency; once fully charged it can store enough juice to keep appliances as large as a fridge going for up to three days. The adjustable touchpoints help pedalers up to 7'6" tall and 330 pounds get comfy. The front has USB and AC output, There's also a wireless phone charger on top. Food and Drink Courtesy of Dreamfarm Available in 9-, 10- and 11-inch designs (to fit the littlest limes to oversize oranges), this durable stainless steel and cheery polypropylene fruit juicer extracts every drop with minimal effort, thanks to the two-handed sideways pivoting mechanism. Besides putting the squeeze on your citrus, the fold-flat design means it can slot comfortably into even the most chaotic kitchen drawer. Courtesy of Lettuce Grow We've lost count of the number of hydroponic startups that promised to deliver a kitchen-full of fresh herbs and salad fixings without the need for green thumbs. Terrible pun aside, Lettuce Grow has taken a different approach. Instead of supplying seed pods, it sends customers a selection of healthy, pesticide-free seedlings which can be slotted into a US-made, self-watering, self-fertilizing hydroponic system. Following a once-weekly maintenance schedule, you should see consistent results while also using 95 percent less water than traditional gardening. Courtesy of Poppi Poppi's eye-catching sodas contain digestion-aiding apple cider vinegar, gut-bacteria-friendly prebiotic fiber from agave inulin, and just 5 grams of sugar. Fear not, buzz-chasers—there's still 32 to 55 milligrams of natural caffeine. The sleek Aiden coffee maker promises high-quality pour-over joe without needing a barista diploma. It has built-in presets for light, medium, and dark roasts, a timed bloom cycle to enhance extraction, plus a precision thermostat and adjustable water flow. A smartphone app also lets you schedule brews and create your own specific beverage profiles. Courtesy of Good Phats Good Phats Spanish Light Avocado Oil Spray Avocado oil is delicious, nutritious (it's rich in oleic acid, polyunsaturated fats, carotenoids, and various nutrients), and easy to cook with. Good Phats avocado oil is a cold-pressed, virgin oil that's been extracted from Spanish Hass and Fuerte avocados and has a high smoke point of around 519° F. Unlike lesser avocado oils, this one contains no added water, emulsifiers, or chemicals and has been bottled with nothing more than compressed air. Just spray and sauté. Mindfulness Courtesy of Roka Shop at Roka (Non-Prescription) Developed in collaboration with neuroscientist (and podcaster) Andrew Huberman, these lenses have been designed to block blue and green light in the 400–520 nm wavelength range, which has been shown to suppress melatonin and keep you from mellowing out as effectively at the end of the day. Available in frame styles that range from staid to sporty, wearing these injection-molded nylon specs for 90 minutes before bedtime will help keep your circadian rhythm in balance, enabling you to nod off that bit more easily. Courtesy of Yondr In 2014, former soccer player Graham Dugoni noticed the need to digitally detox from the San Franciscan tech boom and help people regain their focus. His original lockable pouch proved a success in schools, but for home, this bamboo-topped, signal-blocking, lockable box is a little more refined. Designed to safely store smartphones during phone-free periods, at 10.5 x 10.5 x 4 inches it's big enough for a clutter of smartphones. It also incorporates a handy cable-routing panel so your distracting devices can top up while you chill out. Courtesy of Lego Lego Japanese Red Maple Bonsai Tree A placid alternative to building the Death Star, this 474-piece set is part of Lego's Botanical Collection, designed to encourage mindfulness through creative play. Inspired by Japanese bonsai, details include red and amber foliage and a display stand that evokes a ceramic tray planter. Courtesy of Mindsight Mindsight Breathing Buddha By matching your breathing to the pulsing, calming lights of this desktop-friendly buddy, you might just find a moment of serenity in your otherwise manic day. Three breathing practices are built in, such as Calming Breath—inhaling for four seconds, holding for seven, and exhaling for eight—which is tailored to help you prepare for sleep. Courtesy of ReMarkable The ReMarkable tablet has no social feeds, no app store, and no notifications: Its monochrome 10.3-inch display mimics paper, creating a more zen-like space for writing. At 0.19 inch thick and weighing less than a pound, it's incredibly portable, and the battery lasts up to two weeks. And if you do demand a little more from your mindful moments, the Type Folio keyboard transforms it into the most elegant of digital typewriters.

This Beautiful Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth Speaker Is Also Pretty Repairable
Back in 2016, the original A1 Bluetooth speaker (8/10, WIRED Recommends) was one of the first from Bang & Olufsen under its more affordable Beoplay sub-brand. The stylish puck of brushed aluminum was a welcome antidote to all the rubberized Bluetooth boxes, and as a testament to good design, aesthetically it has changed little through three generations. The third-generation Beoplay A1 has just been launched, and while the design remains instantly recognizable and effortlessly cool, internally it has gone through a complete makeover and now sounds better and is more sustainable than ever. It is one of the finest portable speakers I've ever listened to, and remains as covetable as ever. Same Skin, New Innards Photograph: Chris Haslam So what's new? First, there are two new finishes to go along with the classic aluminium—Honey Tone (my review sample), and Eucalyptus Green. The speaker is seriously well made and flawlessly finished. It looks and feels as premium as it should for $399. There's a tweak on the design of the leather strap, but the important changes come from within. According to B&O, the A1 3rd Gen has the largest woofer in its class (3¼ inch), with a claimed bass SPL of 64 dB, which is 2 dB higher than the 2nd Gen model. Battery life has increased too, from 18 to 24 hours. Interestingly, Alexa voice assistant has been dropped, as—according to B&O directly—customers did not want it. It still has a microphone and thus still works as a speakerphone. The A1 Gen 3 is also the first Cradle to Cradle Certified (Bronze level) Bluetooth speaker in the world. In layman's terms, the speaker has a modular design that can be both upgraded and repaired, helping to extend its lifespan. Batteries can be replaced, for instance, if you take your speaker into a Bang & Olufsen store. The brand's commitment to longevity and sustainability is to be commended, and helps to justify the premium pricing. Bluetooth 5.1 seems a little dated here, and means there's no Auracast compatibility, but you do still get multipoint connectivity, stereo pairing, and aptX Adaptive compatibility. The IP67 rating ensures dust and waterproofing, plus the USB-C socket can be used for data transfer (future upgrades) as well as charging. Weighing 1.2 pounds and measuring 5.24 in diameter x 1.81 inches high, the A1 is not pocketable, but it's also not big enough to cause issues in a bag or backpack. There's no protective case, but the aluminum is tough and showed no ill effects after a few weeks being deliberately bumped and jostled about. Reviewer Parker Hall has dropped the first and second generation speakers many times and hasn't noticed any horrific wear, beyond a few small dents. The leather carry strap is elegant, with subtle but classy branding, and if you want you can use the IP67 speaker like an old-school shower radio. Generation Game Photograph: Chris Haslam Two 30-watt Class D amplifiers (60 watts total power) run the new, super-sized 3¼ inch woofer and one 0.6 inch tweeter, and together they pump out impressive 360-degree audio.

Scots beach with glittering white sands & jade-green water named among best in UK
The stunning beauty spot is the perfect place if you want to get away from the crowds HIDDEN GEM Scots beach with glittering white sands & jade-green water named among best in UK Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTTISH beach which boasts glittering white sands and jade-green water has been named among the best in the UK. The top 50 spots across the country were listed by The Times and Sunday Times Best Beaches Guide. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Achininver Beach is the perfect place if you want to get away from the crowds Credit: Alamy Chief Travel Writer Chris Haslam visited over 750 beaches and 51 resorts to help compile the list. The guide is split into seven different areas of the country - Scotland, Northern Ireland, North England, East England, South England, Southwest England and Wales. One Scottish beach which stood out to travel expert Chris was Achininver in the Highlands. The stunning beauty spot is the perfect place if you want to get away from the crowds - and it's dog-friendly. With no through traffic, it is not the kind of place visitors will find by accident. The sheltered sandy beach also has a river running through it. There's a small parking area above the beach, which drops down to a picnic bench. It's a bit tricky to get to but it's worth the effort for the picturesque scenery it offers. The Times guide states: "At Achininver I watched a ewe break away from the flock sunbathing on this gorgeously remote bay to lead her newborn lamb down to the shore. "The sand glittered in the sunshine, the stream was like black tea, and the sea between the headlands went from Caribbean blue to jade green. £37 million beach upgrade in Croatia "Mother and child stood and stared at the bay until the lamb trotted back towards the flock. "The ewe watched the waves for a moment longer, then turned to follow. I think I saw her sigh. "Getting here, five miles down a single-track road off the A838 at the Kyle of Tongue, will almost certainly involve a long reverse or two to let locals pass, and, sadly for camper vanners, there's nowhere to park up for the night. "Anyway, come nightfall, the midges will shred the flesh from your bones." This year's overall Scottish winner is the hidden gem of Seacliff Beach in East Lothian. It lies just outside the beautiful seaside town of North Berwick and only 40 minutes from Edinburgh and under two hours from Glasgow.

I found the perfect Welsh coast walk with secluded swim spot and food right on the beach
I found the perfect Welsh coast walk with secluded swim spot and food right on the beach Combine beaches, woodlands, and a pancake stop on this straightforward coastal hike The 180-mile Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is a well-established National Trail within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (Image: Shared Content Unit ) There's no better way to embrace the great outdoors than lacing up your hiking boots and heading for the Welsh coast. With the salty breeze in your hair, the crash of waves and dreamy sea views stretching to the horizon, walking along the bracing Welsh coastline invigorates the senses. Wales has an extraordinary 870-mile-long coast path – the first in the world to trace an entire nation's shoreline. The famous trail bursts with dramatic headlands, hidden coves, ancient ruins, and wildlife. While walking its full length is a bucket-list challenge you don't need to be an ultra-hiker to enjoy its best bits. Throughout the long-distance route countless short walks and circular trails offer epic coastal scenery without requiring a full expedition. One of my favourite treks, which I recently discovered, is in Pembrokeshire. It features sandy shores, secluded bays, and a pancake and waffle hut right on the beach. The 5.1-km out-and-back walk is from Saundersfoot Beach to Monkstone Point and features some inclines through a wooded area as you trace the shore. You can follow the coast's path signs or download the trail on the AllTrails app. It starts at the coastal village of Saundersfoot. Considered a "compact version of Tenby" the swish seaside town has a sandy beach that has just been crowned among the best in the UK in The Times' annual Best UK Beaches guide and is described as a beach that "rewards explorers". The 17th edition of the list was compiled by chief travel writer Chris Haslam, who visited and inspected 756 beaches across the UK. Chris' selection was based on an exhaustive 11-point inspection checklist. Article continues below The criteria encompassed water quality, cleanliness, accessibility, car parking facilities, lifeguard presence, hygiene standards at toilets and showers, and dog-friendliness. Outside of the acclaimed beach the town and surrounding area have plenty of things to see and do including a coastal trail, proper pubs, independent shops, and cafes. If you want to experience the scenic shoreline, though, the best thing to do is lace up your hiking boots and hit the coast path. Saundersfoot Beach to Monkstone Point hike The walk starts on the beach (Image: St Brides Spa Hotel ) From Saundersfoot Beach head towards the harbour. This marine hub, completed in 1834, primarily served Pembrokeshire's burgeoning coal industry. The harbour facilitated coal exports, significantly contributing to the local economy. In recent years Saundersfoot Harbour has undergone significant redevelopment to modernise its facilities, establish new business ventures, and promote local heritage through the Welcome and Heritage Centre. From the harbour follow the B1436 and you'll soon reach the award-winning clifftop St Bride's Hotel and Spa, where you can gaze over Saundersfoot Bay from their jaw-dropping infinity swimming pool and elevated rooms. This privately-owned hotel is a few minutes from the beach allowing guests to enjoy ocean therapy before indulging in the many spa treatments. I highly recommend this swish coastal bolthole if you want to stay longer in Saundersfoot. You'll continue along the Glen Road from the hotel until you reach the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which you'll follow through the peaceful Glen Woods as it ascends over the craggy shoreline. Part of the walk goes through beautiful woodlands (Image: Portia Jones ) As you climb higher you'll see the sandy Glen Beach. This woodland and cliff-backed beach has two main access points: Saundersfoot Harbour at low tide and Glen Woods when the tide is in. Visit early, during the off-season, and you'll have a secluded spot where you can swim in clear waters or enjoy a picnic with sweeping coastal views. Keep going and you'll soon pass Swallow Tree Gardens behind you – a small holiday park situated yards from the beach and sheltered by pinewoods. The perfect spot for a breather (Image: Portia Jones ) Follow the coast path and soon reach Monkstone Point – a secluded rocky headland with golden sands and naturally-formed pools. You can spend a good few hours here swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the unusual rock formations. To return to Saundersfoot follow the coast path back the way you came and look for a pancake hut on the beach and a mobile sauna overlooking the shore. Have pancakes on the beach On Saundersfoot's golden sands you'll find Crêp Da (Image: Portia Jones ) Hungry after your hike? On Saundersfoot's golden sands you'll find Crêp Da, a cutesy pop-up pancake van run by Courtney and Anouk. This compact green van sells a delectable selection of freshly-made pancakes and waffles along with iced coffee, hot chocolate, and hot drinks. Their fresh-off-the-griddle crepes and golden waffles come piled high with your pick of sweet gooey goodness. Expect melty Nutella and strawberries, maple syrup with sliced banana, or simple sugar and lemon. Craving something extra? There are also plenty of drool-worthy specials like Smarties-studded waffles, Twix-packed crepes, and Bounty-topped beauties. Each one is as outrageously delicious as it is Instagrammable. For the latest restaurant news and reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here . There are also plenty of drool-worthy specials (Image: Portia Jones ) Hwyl Outdoor Sauna If you need a moment to unwind after hiking and feasting on pancakes why not book a sauna session with a sea view? You can enjoy wellness by the water at Hwyl Outdoor Sauna – a mobile wood-fired sauna overlooking the award-winning blue-flagged beach. This sustainability-focused sauna sources its wood locally and has the cleanest-burning sauna fire available, keeping its carbon footprint low. Who doesn't love a steamy sesh with eco credentials? A treat awaits (Image: @sillbillsocial ) Bookable for 25-minute and 50-minute sessions, enjoy the invigorating experience of deep healing and mindfulness using the heat of the sauna and the bracing cold of the sea. You can book slots for a shared sauna or a private session to rent the whole six-person sauna just for yourself and your friends and family for a steam and epic sea view. Pint with a view The perfect finale (Image: harbwrbarandkitchen/Facebook ) Round off your trip to Saundersfoot with a lovely pint with a view. Pull up a chair at Harbwr Bar & Kitchen, perfectly perched on Saundersfoot Harbour, and settle in for a laid-back pub sesh with some lovely Welsh brews. This stylish seaside spot is the swish sister venue of Tenby's award-winning Harbwr Brewery, which is pouring the good stuff straight from the source. Article continues below If you're more into your spirits don't miss the Harbwr Dry Gin, crafted in west Wales and distilled with actual beer. It's crisp, coastal, and perfect with tonic and a slice of citrus.

One of Wales' best beaches has an amazing campsite where ocean views are unreal and you can order award-winning streetfood This dreamy beach has a campsite with a pitch described as "the best in the nation." The campsite at Three Cliffs Bay in Gower is described as having "the best beach view in the country." (Image: Copyright Unknown ) Wales' craggy coastline is amongst the most beautiful in the world and has a vast range of sandy shores, secluded bays and pebble-strewn beaches with clear waters for swimming. From Pembrokeshire's golden sand beaches and tiny coves to the windswept Llŷn Peninsula and the Vale of Glamorgan's Jurassic coastline, you are truly spoiled for choice here. Unsurprisingly, eight Welsh beaches have been crowned among the best in the UK in The Times' annual Best UK Beaches guide for 2025. The 17th edition of the highly anticipated list was compiled by chief travel writer Chris Haslam, who visited and inspected 756 beaches across the UK. Chris's selection was based on an exhaustive 11-point inspection checklist. The criteria encompassed water quality, cleanliness, accessibility, car parking facilities, lifeguard presence, hygiene standards at toilets and showers, and dog-friendliness. One of the Welsh beaches on the list has a nearby campsite with a pitch described as "the best in the nation." Haslam describes the Three Cliffs Holiday Park in Three Cliffs Bay in Gower as having "the best beach view in the country." Article continues below Three Cliffs Bay Beach has won many accolades and was recently named one of the Best Beaches in Europe in 2025. The sandy beach has been ranked alongside Diamond Beach in Iceland and the Blue Lagoon in Malta, among other top coves and bays. Three Cliffs Bay Beach was also a finalist in the ITV series Britain's Favourite View (the only nomination in Wales) and appears regularly in those 'top ten' lists beloved by papers. If you're an early riser, you'll be treated to one of the most unreal sunrise views in Wales. Three Cliffs Bay Beach was also a finalist in the ITV series Britain's Favourite View (Image: WalesOnline/Rob Browne ) Named after its three distinctive limestone sea stacks, it's well known for its dramatic natural beauty, expansive sand dunes, salt marshes, and the Pennard Pill stream that wanders over the sands. It's part of the Gower ANOB, a particularly scenic stretch of the Wales Coast Path. In 1956, it was the first area in Britain to be designated as an AONB. The gorgeous, varied landscape includes sandy beaches, cliffs, and salt marshes. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here One of the more challenging walks in the area is the Southgate to Three Cliffs Bay walk as featured by the National Trust. They explain that this walk starts in Southgate car park and follows a coastal footpath with a downhill section to the Three Cliffs Bay. You'll also trek through a wooded valley, including muddy woodland floors and an uneven stony path. The walk starts with a steep descent into the valley and ends by climbing back up the same hill. Three Cliffs Bay Camping Looking for a longer stay in the area? Three Cliffs Bay is Swansea Bay and Gower's only Visit Wales 5-star family campsite and has epic coast views (Image: The Greenroom, Mumbles ) Looking for a longer stay in the area?
