If you’re like me, your bicycle has been sitting in storage patiently waiting for warmer weather, and you’ve been too intimidated by the cost of indoor direct drive trainers to look for winter solutions. Enter Kinetic, with its all-new RS Power. This cost-effective platform provides a secure setup that can easily connect to your favorite training apps, including Zwift, Rouvy, Onelap and more. The large flywheel can provide a realistic cycling experience, and the entire setup folds neatly for compact storage. The RS Power is available with or without an added 11-speed cassette, but only the geared option is in stock at this time.

Zoa+ Pre-workout Energy Drink

Look, we can’t all be Dwayne Johnson. (In fact, only one of us can.) But that doesn’t mean we can’t follow his example in the gym. One thing that might help? The sugarless pre-workout beverage he endorses, Zoa+. Formulated by IFBB pro/Zoa founder Dave Rienzi, the drink boasts 200 mg of natural caffeine plus B Vitamins, Gingko Biloba, 3,000 mg of performance-lifting L-citrulline and Vitamins C and D. Will it enable you to do dips with huge plates hanging from your neck by a chain? Maybe not. But we’ve been sampling all three tasty flavors before bike rides and bouts of producing the upcoming issue of Gear Patrol magazine and put it this way: when Daddy’s gotta go to work (or Mommy for that matter), you’ll be ready.

Price: $39.99 (12-pack)

On Cloudmonster Running Shoe

No, those aren’t storm clouds, but On has definitely thundered into April with the release of its all-new Cloudmonster running shoe. Featuring the brand’s signature CloudTec hollow silhouette, these new road runners boast helion superfoam and an ultra powerful Speedboard. The result? Massive cushioning and maximum energy in a ride that propels you forward no matter the distance. As On puts it, “This is running on clouds with the volume turned up.”

Peloton Guide

Peloton announced it would step into connected strength in November 2021. Five months later, we have Guide. A set-top camera flips open to transform your living space and television into a guided training session. The pressure of performing every movement correctly is erased with features like Self Mode, where you can compare yourself side-by-side to the onscreen instructor. Guide helps you keep the energy and motivation with helpful movement and body trackers, as well as access to the always-competitive Strive Score leaderboards (when paired with a heart rate monitor). Plus, Peloton’s All-Access membership is at an introductory $24 per month for Guide-only newcomers.

Brady Tough Touch Short Sleeve

After staying retired for only 40 days, it was pretty evident that quarterback Tom Brady was not a fan of “taking it easy.” Well, the gridiron GOAT has added to that logic with the second release under his Brady training gear lineup.
