The Aura fitness tracker rewards you for reaching your goals — and it just went on sale
We could all use a good accountability buddy. You know the type — they’re the tender, patient souls who coach you through your fitness journey (and hold you responsible when you try to give up). They’re your partner in crime at the gym, so to speak. The Hans to your Franz.
The thing is, your friends and family members can’t always to rise to the occasion when you need some extra help reaching your health goals. (They have lives too, after all.) At least you can always depend on the AURA Band, a smart fitness band that not only tracks your progress but rewards you for it.

The AURA Band entered the ring back in the spring of 2018 when it debuted on Indiegogo (and promptly raised 272% of its goal). It won over its backers with its incorporation of bioimpedance, a state-of-the-art technology that breaks down your body into four different components when worn — fat, muscle mass, minerals, and body water — to track its changes throughout the day.
This allows the AURA to monitor your fat and muscle percentage, hydration levels, heart rate, and activity all at once so that you’ve always got a complete picture of your health and fitness achievements. (Want to share that information with your insurance company, fitness center or personal doctor? The AURA can do that in a snap, too.)
Check out the campaign video that started it all:
Using the health data it collects and analyzes, the AURA will also make personalized recommendations based on your specific goals. And guess what? Once you meet said goals, you’ll be rewarded with coins that can be redeemed for free attire, workouts, health consultations, and more. How neat is that?
For just the next few days, you can score an AURA Band Smart Fitness Tracker for just $149.99 —that’s a 16% discount on its standard retail price of $179.
