Best Buy's new venture into connected workout equipment is showing that the future of fitness is inextricably linked to technology

Though it's perhaps best known for its ski machines, NordicTrack has expanded over the years to make fitness equipment like treadmills, bikes, and adjustable weights.

The treadmills are now the most popular products because of their long-lasting construction and features, including over 40 included workout apps, a workout fan to keep you cool, an aux music port, and heart rate monitoring. If all you do at your local gym is use the treadmill anyway, it could be more economical, not to mention more convenient, to invest in a permanent machine for your home.

• Commercial 2950 Treadmill, $2,699 (includes one year free iFit Coach)
• Fusion CST Strength Training Machine, $1,999 (includes one year free iFit Coach)
• Commercial S10i Studio Cycle, $1,199.99 (includes one year free iFit Coach)
• 55-lb. Select-A-Weight Adjustable Dumbbell Set, $299

If you have cycling- and studio fitness-obsessed friends, you've heard about Flywheel, the cycling experience led by instructors who will push you to your edge. Thanks to the Flywheel Home Bike, it doesn't matter if you live near a studio because you can take the classes in the comfort of your own home.

The thousands of live and on-demand classes range anywhere from five to 60 minutes, and you'll be able to keep track of your personal stats and performance compared to the rest of the class the whole time. The bike has a flexible frame and ergonomic handles to ensure a comfortable ride all the way through. It even includes off-bike workouts to strengthen your body and make your next ride better.

As a cordless and compact device, it's a convenient tool that you'll quickly consider an essential accessory to pack in your gym bag.
