New to Prime Day? We’ve got everything you need to get started . Sales information is accurate at the time of publication, but prices and stock levels are subject to change.
October sales are upon us, and here are my picks for the best fitness equipment you can snag at a discount. (I’ll update this article as new items become available.)
Prime Day’s best scale deals
This Fitvids Olympic Bumper Plate Set is a great deal: you get 370 pounds (177 kg) for $399.99. It includes a standard-size bar with 55-inch sleeves and one pair each of bumper plates in 55, 45, 35, 25, 15, and 10 pounds (55, 45, 35, 101, 102, 106, 104, 104, 105, 105, 106, 104…
I haven’t seen any big sales on name-brand adjustable dumbbells yet, but these Lifepro dumbbells also have a small discount that’s worth checking out: You can save $10 on a pair of 25-pound adjustable dumbbells ($189.99, regular price $199.99) or $32 on a single 90-pound adjustable dumbbell .
Prime Day’s best deals on cardio equipment
Two Hydrow rowing machines went on sale today. The Hydrow Origin, with a 22-inch screen and streaming functionality, is now $1,645, up from $2,195. The Hydrow Wave, with a 16-inch screen, is now $1,694, up from $1,995. For more information on this brand, read Meredith Dietz’s review of another Hydrow model, the Arc . She was impressed with both the build quality and the Hydrow’s “truly intelligent approach to training.”
NordicTrack commercial treadmills are also discounted today, including the Commercial 1250 , which is now $1,638.99 down from $1,999.99. Pooboo is also offering its air bike for $499.99 after using a digital coupon, down from its original price of $699.99.
Prime Day’s Best Deals on Sensors and Wearables
Fitbit has already released several of its trackers, including the Charge 6 for $119.95 (previously $159.95) and the Inspire 3 for $79.95 (previously $99.95). You can read my review of the Charge 6 here —it’s a great tracker if you only need basic functionality.
Some Polar heart rate monitors are also discounted, including the classic H10 chest strap heart rate monitor for $89.21 (was $104.95) and the Verity Sense optical heart rate monitor for $82.91 (was $104.95). While some people find wrist-based heart rate monitoring more convenient, a digital heart rate monitor will always provide the most accurate results .
