Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to get down to business. Whether you are setting your sights on weight loss, building some muscle ahead of that summer vacation or just wanting to better your overall well-being, January is prime time to take a deeper look at your relationship with fitness. To keep resolutions going beyond those first few weeks, though, you’ll need some peak performance gear.

Thankfully, the first month of 2023 brings a number of invigorating products to help fuel your training. From impressive new running shoes to first-of-its-kind recovery tools, helpful equipment and more, January is jam packed. So, let’s jump right into the top fitness offerings we’ve found thus far.

Brooks Hyperion Max

Serving as the latest addition to the brand’s Hyperion lineup of fast, lightweight sneakers, the Brooks Hyperion Max boasts a durable outsole and stretch woven upper with 3D Fit Print to cloak your foot in a sock-like aesthetic. Plus, the ride of the Hyperion Max is plenty snappy thanks to the DNA Flash foam midsole, as seen in other silhouettes like the Caldera 6, one of our favorite trail running shoes. While the “Max” moniker might be a little misleading, we can’t wait to tackle fast-paced tempo training with these impressive kicks.

It’s safe to say that massage guns have become as prevalent in fitness regimens as a quality shaker bottles, but the percussive pounding involved can still be a little intense for newbies. The innovative Prowlr from Dr. Massage features no back-and-forth travel at the massage head, instead using orbital motion to paint away your nagging aches. The kneading and sweeping approach is designed to mimic the fingers of a masseuse, while three different attachments add to the variety.
