The AION Weighted Vest is an ideal tool for women with Hashimoto’s looking to get more juice out of the squeeze on their walks and out of their workouts. Designed for comfort and functionality, it adds gentle resistance to your workouts without straining your joints. This weighted vest is compressive and helps you work smarter, not harder, allowing you to achieve your fitness goals while avoiding the burnout from your workouts.


ZELUS Weighted Vest

ZELUS Weighted Vest

A weighted vest is a simple way to increase strength, bone density, and metabolic health while going on your walks. For women with Hashimoto’s, walking with added load can help build lean muscle, improve insulin sensitivity, and support thyroid function.



Versa Grips

Versa Grips

Versa Grips help you lift heavier, safer, and with better control. Grip strength often limits women with Hashimoto’s before their larger muscles are fully challenged. By reducing hand fatigue and improving bar stability, these grips allow you to stimulate real muscle growth while protecting joints.



Walking Pad

The WalkingPad is a my go-to compact, foldable treadmill designed for home or office use, offering a convenient way to stay active throughout the day. With a sleek, space-saving design, it fits easily under a desk or bed. Its quiet motor and adjustable speeds make it perfect for walking or light jogging, promoting movement without disrupting your workflow. I love this for getting more steps as we all know we don’t move enough throughout our day and if the goal is to lose weight, walking is a non-negotiable.


Gymreapers Weight Belt

Gymreapers Weight Belt

As you begin lifting heavier weights, a quality belt provides essential support and feedback for safe strength progression. I recommend adding a belt around bodyweight deadlifts to support your lower back and reinforce proper core bracing. For women with Hashimoto’s — especially those with joint hypermobility — this added stability helps protect joints, improve control under load, and build strength with greater confidence and resilience.


Knee Brace

Knee Brace

A supportive knee brace can provide added stability and confidence when lifting, walking, or returning to exercise after pain or injury. For women with Hashimoto’s — especially those with joint hypermobility or inflammation — extra support can reduce strain, improve alignment, and protect the joint during movement.


Pedometer

Pedometer

What gets measured gets managed — and tracking your steps is one of the simplest ways to create real momentum. Daily movement can contribute up to 40% of your total caloric burn, making steps a powerful tool for weight loss with Hashimoto’s.


Wrist Band

Wrist Band

If you’re new to kettlebells, the bell can irritate the back of your wrist while you learn proper positioning. A wrist sweatband adds soft padding and protection, making movements more comfortable as your technique improves. For women with Hashimoto’s, reducing discomfort helps you stay consistent, build confidence, and focus on form without distraction.


Dumbbell to Kettlebell attachment

Dumbbell to Kettlebell attachment

This simple attachment turns any dumbbell into a kettlebell for swings and other dynamic movements, expanding your training options without buying more equipment. For women with Hashimoto’s, it supports muscle growth, insulin sensitivity, and efficient fat burning while improving coordination and functional strength at home.


Barbell Lift

Barbell Lift

A barbell jack makes loading and unloading plates fast and effortless by lifting the bar off the floor for you. This saves your back, reduces strain, and keeps workouts flowing smoothly.


Booty Bands

Booty Bands

Booty bands are a compact, travel-friendly way to activate and strengthen the glutes anywhere. They help improve hip stability, support knee alignment, and enhance muscle engagement during warmups or full workouts.


Full-length Resistance Bands

Full-length Resistance Bands

Full-length resistance bands turn any space into a complete workout setup. For women with Hashimoto’s, preserving muscle and staying active while traveling supports energy, metabolism, and resilience without overstressing the body.


Theragun

Theragun

A Theragun delivers targeted percussive therapy to relieve sore muscles, tight knots, and post-workout stiffness. For women with Hashimoto’s, recovery is just as important as training. It’s a powerful tool to calm overworked muscles and restore movement after strength sessions.


Foam Roller

Foam Roller

A padded foam roller is a gentle, effective way to release tight fascia and restore mobility between workouts. For women with Hashimoto’s, improving tissue quality and joint range of motion helps reduce stiffness, prevent injury, and support recovery.
