My favorite fitness tech of 2024 so far has just got a major price cut

Description:
Quell just got a permanent price drop of a third and so now's a greta time to 
try my favorite fitness tech of 2024 so far.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Since first testing it back in May, Quell has been a regular piece of workout 
equipment in my routine, and now it's discounted in the US and UK by about a 
third. So if you're interested in trying it out, now might be a great time to 
bite the bullet. 

You can pick up the Quell hardware system for just $199 / 189 instead of its 
original $329 / 299 price. The software subscription (required to play Quells 
games) now only costs $4.99 / 4.99 a month or $39.99 / 39.99 a year (half of 
its launch price). 

Quell is what the Wii Fit  or really any gamified fitness machine  wishes it 
could be. Using the included sensor and controllers, you must make your way 
through levels by punching, squatting, jumping, and running on the spot. The 
included resistance bands help to make this setup more physically demanding 
than the other virtual workouts I was used to (without losing any of the 
fun). 

You wirelessly connect these sensors to a PC using a USB dongle that 
translates your real-world actions into the game. So far, Quells catalog has 
only one title  a high-fantasy adventure called Shardfall  but two more are 
currently in development (with one confirmed to include a multiplayer 
aspect). (Image credit: Quell) 

Quell isnt as intense as hitting the gym, but its significantly more 
enjoyable; plus, its super portable and runs on many laptops  making it much 
easier to take with you on trips than weights or a treadmill. 

Quell isnt yet perfect, admittedly. Since launch, it has hit a few snags with 
glitches, and sometimes, its motion tracking can be a little off. The team 
has worked hard to patch issues when they arise, though. 

If you can look past these minor faults (which the cheaper cost may help 
with) and have struggled to stay committed to a workout routine (I know I 
have) Quell might be just what youre looking for. You might also like My

great, but I'm sticking with my Apple Watch SE
