CES 2025 update: Best fitness tech gadgets we saw
CES 2025 wasn’t just about foldable screens or autonomous cars – it was also a playground for fitness tech that’s taking workouts and recovery to the next level. Whether you’re an athlete, a casual gym-goer, or someone just trying to stay active, the gadgets this year had something for everyone. From AI-backed coaching tools to recovery solutions that feel like they’re straight out of a sci-fi movie, here’s a rundown of the coolest fitness tech we saw.
Beyond 01
Smartwatches are everywhere, but Beyond 01 feels like it’s playing in a league of its own. Sure, it tracks the usual – heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen – but the real kicker is its AI-powered fitness insights. This thing doesn’t just count steps; it analyses your activity trends and gives you workout plans that actually make sense for you.
Its sleek, minimalist design means you can rock it at the gym or a dinner party, and it’s tough enough to handle hikes and sweaty cardio sessions. Plus, it connects with pretty much every fitness app out there, so you’re not stuck switching platforms.

Core 2 Thermal Sensor
Ever wonder if your workout is pushing you too hard – or not hard enough? The Core 2 Thermal Sensor has you covered. It’s tiny, but this little gadget measures your core body temperature with pinpoint accuracy. Not just surface-level stuff; it digs deeper to give you real-time updates that can help you adjust your intensity mid-session.
Hook it up to your smartwatch or fitness tracker, and it’ll nudge you when it’s time to cool down or pick up the pace. Athletes are already buzzing about its potential to fine-tune performance, but even casual users can benefit from keeping tabs on their internal heat levels.

G-Grip
Golf is all about precision, and the G-Grip AI-powered golf club is here to help you nail it. Packed with sensors and machine learning smarts, this club doesn’t just track your swing – it breaks it down to the tiniest detail. Speed, angle, grip pressure – you get instant feedback that’s easy to understand, even if you’re new to the game.
The companion app takes it a step further, showing you how to tweak your technique with video overlays and data insights. Whether you’re trying to shave a few strokes off your score or just avoid embarrassing slices, this club’s got your back.
HomePlunge
Cold plunges aren’t just for pro athletes anymore. The HomePlunge brings recovery-focused cold water immersion therapy to anyone with space for a small tub. It’s compact, portable, and has temperature controls precise enough to give you the perfect post-workout chill session.
The companion app offers guided sessions tailored to how intense your workout was, so even if you’re new to cold therapy, you’re not left shivering aimlessly. Whether it’s for reducing soreness or just waking yourself up, this tub makes recovery something you’ll actually look forward to.

Therapeutic Spa Bed
If you’ve ever wished for a massage tailored exactly to your needs, the Therapeutic Spa Bed is your dream come true. It’s got an AI health concierge that scans your stress levels, muscle tension, and even your sleep patterns to deliver a customised massage experience.
It doesn’t stop there – this bed also offers light therapy and guided breathing exercises to help you relax deeper. Over time, the AI learns your preferences, so every session gets more in tune with what your body actually needs. Whether it’s for recovery or just unwinding after a tough day, this device feels like a luxury spa visit you don’t have to leave home for.
WE-STIM.MED
As we age, keeping muscles strong gets harder, and that’s where the WE-STIM.MED™ MuscleGuard brace comes in. Using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), it activates muscle fibres that might otherwise be neglected, helping to maintain strength and mobility.
It’s lightweight and comfortable enough to wear for hours, and the connected app lets you track your progress over time. It’s especially useful for older adults or anyone recovering from an injury, giving them a high-tech way to stay active and independent.
What’s trending in fitness tech?
One thing that stood out at CES 2025 was how much focus there is on personalisation. It’s not enough for gadgets to just track your data anymore – they’re now using AI to turn that data into actionable insights. Whether it’s a smartwatch telling you to push harder or a golf club correcting your swing, fitness tech is getting smarter about meeting you where you are.
Recovery was another big theme this year. Gadgets like the HomePlunge and Therapeutic Spa Bed are proof that people are starting to realise recovery is just as important as the workout itself. It’s not just about what you do in the gym but how you bounce back afterwards.

Satvik Pandey
Satvik Pandey, is a self-professed Steve Jobs (not Apple) fanboy, a science & tech writer, and a sports addict. At Digit, he works as a Deputy Features Editor, and manages the daily functioning of the magazine. He also reviews audio-products (speakers, headphones, soundbars, etc.), smartwatches, projectors, and everything else that he can get his hands on. A media and communications graduate, Satvik is also an avid shutterbug, and when he's not working or gaming, he can be found fiddling with any camera he can get his hands on and helping produce videos – which means he spends an awful amount of time in our studio. His game of choice is Counter-Strike, and he's still attempting to turn pro. He can talk your ear off about the game, and we'd strongly advise you to steer clear of the topic unless you too are a CS junkie. View Full Profile
