I’m a Certified Personal Trainer and These Are My Favorite Black Friday Deals on Fitness Equipment.
Black Friday is here—essentially, it’s a whole season, not just one day—and the deals keep coming. I’ll continue to update this post with the best deals on fitness equipment, but I’ve already found a ton of deep discounts on spin bikes, adjustable dumbbells, and more.
(It’s also worth checking out deals on Garmin watches if you’re looking for something to track your workouts.)
Discounts on Powerblock and Bowflex adjustable dumbbells.
Several of my top picks for adjustable dumbbells are on sale today. Powerblock Elite EXP Stage 1, ranging from 5 to 50 pounds, sells for $299 per pair on Amazon, normally $449 per piece, or $199 per piece at Walmart. Its Stage 2 and Stage 3 expansion kits are also on sale for $142.90, down from $169. Each set adds 20 pounds, so with both you can have a pair of 90-pound dumbbells.
The Bowflex SelectTech 552 retails for $379 per pair, with a list price of $549. Sometimes they cost a little less than list price, but the sale price here is lower than I’ve seen all year.
Discounts on Peloton and NordicTrack spin bikes.
Peloton has made a habit of offering great deals on its bikes around every major holiday, so of course there’s a good Black Friday sale going on right now. The base Bike model costs $1,295 (down from $1,445), while the fancier Bike+ model costs $1,995 (regularly $2,495). Of the two options, the Bike+ is selling better compared to historical pricing data, but ultimately you should choose based on which best suits your needs. I have a guide to help you decide between Bike and Bike+ .
However, Peloton isn’t the only game in town when it comes to higher-end spin bikes. The NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle costs $1,274.98 (down from $1,499.99) for the S22i. It has the same size screen as the Peloton Bike, a swivel screen mount like the Bike+, and automatic resistance like the Bike+. (Like Peloton’s offerings, access to digital features also requires a monthly subscription, but in this case you’ll pay $39 per month rather than $44.)
Discounts on Theragun and Hyperice massage guns.
A massage gun is a great tool for when you feel like you enjoy being hit repeatedly but with a therapeutic effect. (As I discovered when I tried one of these, I don’t like it , but a lot of people do.) Some major brands have models on sale right now. The Hypervolt Go is currently $99 (regularly $129) and is available in both white and black. And the triangular Theragun Mini , which usually costs $199, is now $149 or $159 depending on your color preference. Desert Rose and Black are more inexpensive at the moment.
Discounts on barbells, dumbbells and other useful heavy items.
Rogue Fitness is hosting a Matte Black November Sale with discounts on a variety of items, some for a limited time or with limited supplies. One great deal that caught my eye (and should be available on Cyber Monday) is a 15kg Bella bar for $205 (regularly $235). This is a 15kg Olympic barbell that is great for anyone doing CrossFit or Olympic weightlifting, especially if you compete in the women’s or youth categories. (And if you don’t understand why these sports have a separate bar for women, I have a whole explanation .)
Various stores also sell bumpers, and I’d like to highlight these basic 45-pound bumpers from GIKPAL. Bumpers are great for Olympic lifts, as well as deadlifts or anything else where you need a little protection for your floor and ears. It’s currently $116 per pair , normally $179.
