*Takes large breath*

A lot of 2016 made our mouths drop, and that's not even the half of it! You might have cried, laughed hysterically, paused in disbelief or screamed ecstatically– all were valid reactions. And though the world of fitness happened to be a little less chaotic and exciting, we still like to think our product releases and prices were smile or tear inducing also. We don't have any Oscars to give out, drones to deliver our shipments or crazy news (besides our photographer and videographer Dustin Webb having his first child), but what we do have is our Best of 2016 list. The bestsellers, the best deals, the best everything! So, gear up. Cheer up. And peer down. At our Best of 2016.
