Although many people have put a moratorium on the phrase "new year, new you!" it's impossible to deny the urge to reinvent your life when it does officially become, well, a new year. The allure of a new year can be motivating — you officially have 365 more days to make your life better. While some people are opting to do that by journaling, like their therapist has suggested time and time again, or learning new dinner recipes that don't just involve a box of pasta and drizzle of EVOO, you're doing it by leveling up your fitness routine.

A new fitness routine deserves all new gear, right? Allow us to do the shopping for you. Ahead, we've found the best fitness attire and accessories that will make 2022 your strongest yet.
