If you’ve spent any time with me, you know I’m a big believer that fitness should enhance your life, not clutter it. I’ve spent years testing gear as a trainer, an athlete, and now as a new mom, to find the tools that actually deliver results without taking over your house.
Below is a collection of my absolute ‘must-haves.’ From the protein snacks that get me through a busy afternoon to the recovery tools that save my back after a long day of ‘mom-ing,’ these are the products I truly trust.

I use this kitchen scale to weigh and measure food for calorie tracking, and I love that it switches seamlessly between grams, ounces, and even fluid ounces, depending on what I need. This has made tracking my protein intake infinitely more accurate!
A great starter set of dumbbells to level up your lifting game! I love that this set fits in my coat closet to stay out of the way, but still accessible.
A solid set of closed loop bands in two sizes (hip size and full length) with three resistance levels in each. The thick fabric is a great quality that delivers years of use without tearing.
The cheapest way to get a sports massage! Whether you’re a cardio queen, a heavy lifter, or just feeling stiff, a foam roller provides your muscles with well-earned relief.
I love these ultra-filtered, real cow’s milk but still lactose-free protein shakes! They double as my coffee “creamer” every morning for an extra protein boost.
This is what I use in a lot of my protein-infused baked goods in place of flour or cocoa powder. The plant protein is easy on the tummy, and the chocolate flavor is deep and rich!
If you have a Ninja Creami (or any way to make homemade ice cream) you need Transform HQ protein powders in your cabinet. With flavors like Mint Chip, Orange Cream, and Cookies and Cream, these protein powders are made to be ice cream!
Not protein, but this zero-cal, no-sugar coffee syrup is too good not to share! They have the best flavors (and fun holiday flavors to get into the cozy fall and winter coffee spirit!)
Getting to your workout equipment shouldn’t be part of the workout! This rack keeps everything together and organized, and it’s on wheels so you can roll it away when you’re done.
I love this bench for its versatility! The extension pad helps with glute, back, core, and arm exercises and is an awesome addition to make your home gym feel more like a gym.
I love these bands! My set has held up for over 7 years of personal and client use. The strap attachment and door anchor ensure you really can get a total body workout with just this simple tool.
A solid set of closed loop bands in two sizes (hip size and full length) with three resistance levels in each. The thick fabric is a great quality that delivers years of use without tearing.
The cheapest way to get a sports massage! Whether you’re a cardio queen, a heavy lifter, or just feeling stiff, a foam roller provides your muscles with well-earned relief.
As a runner who is put-off by the texture of good and gels, I was thrilled when GoGo Squeez dropped this fruit pouch with electrolytes! Now you can replenish your carbs and electrolytes in one easy “sip.”
A yoga block can be used as a “pillow” to support your low back or to help you bridge gaps in mobility as your growing bump makes things harder to reach!
As my body changed during pregnancy and it was time to upgrade to a more supportive sports bra, this was an awesome choice because it continued to work for me postpartum as a nursing sports bra!
These lightweight adjustable dumbbells are perfect for adding a little bit of manageable resistance during your prenatal and postpartum strength training.
jogging stroller with infant carrier click-in option
My jogging stroller has seen lots of miles and even more love! I love this one because you can click your Graco infant carrier into it, allowing you to get on the move faster than the typical 6-month age requirement for sitting in the seat directly.
build your own obstacle course stepping stone balance balls
Use these balancing balls to build your own obstacle course, create a “follow the leader” stepping stone path, or just add a little instability challenge to your core workouts!
If you love to get out on the trails that aren’t stroller-friendly, you’ll love this baby-pack! The weight distribution system makes baby feel light and the padded straps and back support make carrying feel easy.
