Traveling can present some significant obstacles to maintaining a fitness routine.

Gym access isn’t always guaranteed and sometimes going for a run or doing push-ups just won’t cut it.

Here are our picks for the best travel workout equipment:

  • Pocket Monkii

  • RX Custom Jump Rope

  • 5.11 Plate Carrier

  • Theragun Mini

  • Ornadi Waterproof Antimicrobial Protected Gym Clothes Bag

  • YOGO Ultralight Travel Mat

  • EmPack Wander

Let’s take a closer look at these new fitness items that will help you maintain your healthy routine on the road.

A good jump rope is one of the best travel fitness accessories to own and RX custom jump ropes are the best with their high quality materials and design.

Weighted vests are an incredible way to add difficulty to standard bodyweight exercises and 5.11 Tactical makes the best one with its plate carrier. If you have the ability to travel with a weighted vest, this is the one to buy.

The plates for the vest are extra money depending on the weight. Although similar to the body armor used by military and law enforcement personnel, these vests are intended only for fitness use.

Theragun Mini ($159)

Theragun already makes the best massage guns on the market and their new portable massager is perfect for recovery massages on the road.

The Theragun Mini masters the balance between size and power, delivering the same great deep tissue massage while being small enough to fit in your carry on.
