As the Prime Big Deal Days approach, several sales have already kicked off early. Below are my recommended discounts on fitness equipment that you can take advantage of right now. This article will continue to be updated as more offers become available.
Best Prime Day Deals on Weights
– Fitvids Olympic Bumper Plate Set: For fitness enthusiasts looking to bulk up their weight collection, this set offers 370 pounds for $399.99. It features a standard-sized bar with 2″ sleeves and includes a pair of bumper plates in various sizes: 55, 45, 35, 25, 15, and 10 pounds. While some may question the inclusion of sizes like 35 and 15 pounds, this variety allows for versatile loading options on the bar—a major advantage for home gym setups, where reducing noise and impact from exercises like deadlifts is essential.
– Lifepro Adjustable Dumbbells: Though major brands have yet to announce substantial sales on adjustable dumbbells, Lifepro offers a reasonable discount that merits consideration. You can snag a pair of 25-pound adjustable dumbbells for $189.99, down from $199.99, or save $32 on a single 90-pound adjustable dumbbell.
Best Prime Day Deals on Cardio Equipment
– Hydrow Rowers: Two models from Hydrow are currently discounted. The Hydrow Origin, equipped with a 22″ screen and streaming capabilities, is priced at $1,645, a steep drop from $2,195. Meanwhile, the Hydrow Wave with a 16″ screen is available for $1,694, reduced from its original price of $1,995. Meredith Dietz, one of our reviewers, recently praised the Hydrow brand for its superior build quality and the rower’s ‘genuinely intelligent training experience.’
– NordicTrack Commercial Treadmills: The Commercial series, including the Commercial 1250, is currently discounted to $1,638.99 from an original price of $1,999.99. Additionally, the Pooboo Airbike is marked down to $499.99 after applying a digital coupon, from its list price of $699.99.
Best Prime Day Deals on Sensors and Wearables
– Fitbit Trackers, including the Charge 6, are available for $119.95, down from $159.95, while the Inspire 3 is marked down to $79.95 from $99.95. For a detailed review of the Charge 6, check out my article—it’s a reliable option for those seeking essential tracking features.
– Polar Heart Rate Monitors: Selected models are also discounted, such as the classic H10 chest strap for $89.21, down from $104.95, and the Verity Sense optical armband, now $82.91 from $104.95. While some may find an armband more comfortable, chest straps typically provide better accuracy for heart rate monitoring.
Competitive Sales from Other Retailers
In addition to Amazon, other retailers like Walmart and Best Buy are also running competitive Prime Day sales.
