These Pelotons, Walking Mats and Adjustable Dumbbells Are on Sale Now
As with the beginning of any new year, 2024 brings new motivation for many to make exercise at home regular. And for them, January offers plenty of deals on home exercise equipment like Pelotons, Bowflex dumbbells and walking mats. Here are some of the best deals on home exercise equipment to help you reach your 2024 fitness goals.
Peloton Bicycles
Pelotons are a luxury, but $400 off their top bike makes it more affordable. Amazon currently has the Peloton Bike+ for $2,095 (originally $2,495), which is one of the lowest prices I’ve ever seen for a Bike+ (it actually went as low as $1,995 during Black Friday). Peloton doesn’t often offer discounts this big, so if you’ve been thinking about getting one, now is the time.
Peloton also has a deal on its original Peloton Bike for $300 off, currently $1,145 (originally $1,445). This one hit $1,095 during Black Friday . Here’s how Lifehaker senior health editor Beth Skwarecki described these pelotons :
The Bike is a rugged spin bike with a large touchscreen where you can take classes from the platform’s instructors/motivational speakers or experience the “other” rides: scenic routes, a video game you play by adjusting the resistance knob, and an entertainment feature that’s all still in beta, may allow you to watch Netflix while working out.
Bike+ has everything Bike has, plus resistance that automatically adjusts as you follow the lesson. The touchscreen also swivels, allowing you to do yoga and strength training on the floor next to your Bike+.
If these prices are still too high for your budget, check out Peloton’s refurbished models, which are also heavily discounted. The original Peloton Bike costs $995, and the Peloton Bike+ costs $1,595. Just make sure you understand what purchasing a used Peloton might entail. Keep in mind that you’ll need a $44/month All Access membership to use all of the bike’s features. Amazon offers free “Domestic Entry” shipping when you order a Peloton Bike or Bike+.
Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells
If you’re building a home gym by 2024, the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells are the perfect addition. They are compact and give you the freedom to adjust the weight of the dumbbells from 5 pounds to 52.5 in small half-pound increments. I’ve had a pair of 552s for about three years and have used them throughout the pandemic. This is one of my best purchases to date. These dumbbells also rarely hit the $400 mark, but you can grab a set for $379 (originally $549) right now.
Folding walking platform
Many people who work 9 to 5 complain about their sedentary lifestyle and its impact on their physical and mental well-being. If you work from home, a walking mat is great for those who have a standing desk and can use some activities to log extra steps during work hours. The COSYINN Walking Pad holds 300 pounds, is light enough (less than 50 pounds) for one person to install, and reaches speeds of up to 3.6 mph. You can get it for $179.99 (originally $349.99) by clicking the $20 coupon on the page, which is one of the lowest prices I’ve ever seen.
