The Best Labor Day Deals on Fitness Gear Under $100
Labor Day sales have begun at stores, including Amazon, and they run until Monday, September 7th. You can already find great deals on appliances , gadgets , and, my favorite, exercise equipment . I spent several hours searching for deals on fitness gear under $100, and below are the best ones I’ve found so far.
The Best Workout Headphones Are on Sale for Labor Day
-
JBL Endurance Peak 4 headphones are on sale for $99 (regular price $125.99). The built-in Smart Ambient Transparent mode is top-notch. The behind-the-ear design also ensures a secure fit.
-
I’m a big fan of the Baseus Bowie MC2 open-ear headphones , which are currently on sale for $49.99 (regular price $79.99). The clip-on, open-ear design is trending right now, and in terms of sound quality and comfort, these are some of my favorite headphones I’ve tested.
-
If you’re looking for Sony noise-canceling headphones that won’t set you back hundreds of dollars, the Sony WH-CH720N are now available for $97 (originally $179.99)—but only in light pink.
The Best Home Gym Equipment on Sale for Labor Day
While most high-quality cardio and strength training equipment still costs several hundred dollars (even with the deep discounts I’ve found ), here are some great deals for under $100:
-
These adjustable Feierdun dumbbells are $76.49 for a 50-pound set, down from $89.99. I’m especially drawn to the ability to use this system with fixed barbells, kettlebells, traditional dumbbells, or individual weight plates. Incorporating kettlebell swings and kettlebell squats into your workout without buying separate equipment? What a godsend!
-
This walking mat costs $69.98 (regular price is $106.80). It’s a simple and convenient option if you want to increase your step count while working at a standing desk.
-
These resistance bands are now $19.99, down from $24.99. A great pair of these resistance bands will make a great addition to your home gym and are perfect for traveling workouts, whether by the pool or in your hotel room.
-
This PLKOW Dumbbell Storage Rack is now $89.99, down from $119.99.
The best muscle recovery equipment is on sale for Labor Day.
In my opinion, recovery equipment is the most underrated category of fitness products. The Bob and Brad Q2 Ultra Mini massage gun is now $84.98, down from $99.99. The main advantage of this massage gun— which I reviewed in detail here —is the pleasant sensation of heat therapy. Furthermore, its compact size makes it ideal for travel or use at the gym—something I never considered with my full-size Therabody TheraGun .
Here are some more great deals in this area:
-
5-in-1 Massage Roller Set , $32.99, down from $39.95.
-
TriggerPoint Grid 1.0 Massage Roller , $28.99, down from $39.99.
Frequently Asked Questions About Labor Day Discounts
When do Labor Day sales start?
Labor Day sales have already begun. More retailers will likely begin their own sales ahead of the holiday on Monday, September 7th.
Should you have sales on Labor Day?
Labor Day is traditionally a good time to find deals on many product categories, but whether it’s worth it depends entirely on what you’re looking for. Compared to sales like Black Friday or Prime Day, Labor Day offers fewer deals in terms of quantity and quality, but you can still find great deals on appliances and kitchen equipment that will match those holiday prices—or even be lower. (We use price tracking tools to let you know whether a deal is worth it.)

Home Depot , Amazon, Wayfair , Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are all running Labor Day sales. (Lifehacker has compiled information on discounts for all of these deals.) For more information, check out the best Labor Day tech deals we’ve found so far.
