As far as I'm concerned, we're all living in The Jetsons—except, rather than casually owning flying cars, we're all flying on techy treads, strapping devices that measure our heart rates on our wrists, and taking yoga classes from a magic mirror on the wall. The future is now, folks. So if you have someone on your holiday list who lives the sweat life, we've rounded up the best fitness technology buys you can wrap in a bow and feel confident they'll love.

From smartwatches to wireless earbuds to next-level recovery devices, we've rounded up the gifts that just keep on giving—many of which are on sale right now. You can't go wrong no matter which one you choose, so let's get shopping, shall we?

1. Fitbit Versa 3, $230

The Fitbit Versa 3 arrives packed with cool features. Perhaps most notably, the device records your "active zone minutes" that buzz when you reach your desired heart rate during exercise. That means when the burpees hit just right, you'll get a little buzz to say "good job."

2. Peloton Tread+, $4,295

There are few things I wouldn't do to own this treadmill. After running on one years ago at the Peloton studio in New York City, I instantly started a "Peloton" fund to save up for the day when I would purchase this baby and run it into the sunset. Alas, I'm still saving—but we'll get there. One of the techy features that makes this treadmill all the rage is the fact that you can use easy-access knobs to adjust your speed and incline in seconds, but there's so much more in store, fam.
