-- Tis' the season to be healthy.
As we creep closer to the holidays, fitness trackers are one of the hottest-selling gifts this year.
"We are talking about the time of year where everyone's making their New Year's resolution, so what better gift to get than the gift of health?" celebrity trainer Latreal Mitchell said on "Good Morning America."
With the fitness tech industry raking in a whopping $14 billion a year, the trend is here to stay.
"It makes people aware of what they're doing and how you treat your body, so these tools give them the opportunity to do that," Mitchell said.
Here are some fitness gadgets to consider gifting this holiday season.
