BY TIA KIM
Throne Toilet Health Tracker
There’s an influx of health-tracking apps and wearables in the wellness sphere, designed to keep tabs on various activity and biological metrics like sleep, exercise, heartrate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, et al. But they’re largely missing one vital component: the gut, which plays a starring role in your story of overall health. This toilet clip-on uses AI-powered sensors to track key gut health indicators (hydration, digestion, urinary flow, etc.) and delivers personalized insights straight to your phone without any mess. $400
Thermalux Outdoor Saunas
This lineup of Belgium-crafted saunas and steam cabins ditches the traditional all-wood mold for a modern minimalist approach. Buyers can choose from a list of exterior materials (including double-walled thermowood, aluminum, microcement, and mirrored aluminum) in various finishes like matte, gloss, and color. All materials can withstand both heat and moisture, and a reflective glass door funnels in views of the outside. Deck out the interior with swanky floating benches and a dedicated shower area. Price on request
Garmin Index Sleep Monitor Armband
This lightweight band comfortably wraps around your upper arm while you venture into dreamland, monitoring your pulse, sleep stages, heart rate variability, breathing patterns, skin temperature, and more throughout the night. When you wake, a detailed summary awaits on the corresponding app, including a numbered sleep score between 0-100. The tracker also estimates your energy levels, so you know if you can skip the double espresso, and even features a smart wake alarm that uses gentle vibrations to pull you into consciousness during lighter sleep stages. $170
Ethimo Out-Fit Gym
Designed specifically for outdoor use, this multi-function home gym invites you to stretch, sweat, and strength train in the fresh summer air. Crafted from a sleek but sturdy stainless steel frame with a teak floor and roof, the setup packs a ton of features into its slender 8’ by 8’ silhouette: monkey bars, rings, parallel bars, a punching bag, a pull-up bar, and a bench. Price on request
Saunabox PlungeBox XL
With roots that date back to ancient Greek and Roman cultures, cold plunge therapy offers myriad benefits. Taking an icy dip post sweat sesh can stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms for a speedier recovery, with a metabolism boost to boot. This nifty setup brings the experience anywhere, from your home gym to your backyard. Its oval shape is crafted by double-insulated, UV-resistant materials for a long-lasting ice bath. $249
Redwood Thermowood Panorama Sauna
Few home upgrades are more luxurious than a freestanding sauna, and this Scandinavian-inspired iteration from Redwood Outdoors is particularly handsome. Lined with a fully glazed glass wall, the barrel-shaped design lets you soak in the heat amid sweeping panorama. Turn on the Harvia electric heater from your tablet or phone, and the sauna will be ready for use in less than an hour. $6,600
