These fitness discounts are among a million products on sale for Black Friday this year. If you're interested in the best tech on sale today, see our best Black Friday tech deals page for a broader view of all the best discounts you can get right now. Prices are accurate as of the time of writing, but you can expect them to fluctuate and inventory to sell out, so you may not want to hesitate if you see a sale that grabs you.
Black Friday is here, and these are my favorite bargains on fitness equipment, including deep discounts on spin bikes, adjustable dumbbells, and more. It's also worth checking out deals on fitness trackers and specifically the deals on Garmin watches if you're looking for something to track your workouts.
Hydrow rowers are on sale
Hydrow makes rowing machines with a Peloton-like screen that delivers classes on a subscription basis. Their top two models are on sale this Black Friday season: the Hydrow Pro is $1,745 (21% off the usual price of $2,195) and the Hydrow Wave is $1,440 (15% off the usual price of $1,695).
Powerblock and Bowflex adjustable dumbbells are on sale
Several of my picks for the best adjustable dumbbells are on sale today. The Powerblock Elite EXP Stage 1, which goes from 5 to 50 pounds, is on sale for $299/pair at Amazon, normally $449—or $199 for a single, at Walmart. Its Stage 2 and Stage 3 expansion kits are also on sale, both $142.90, down from $169. Each kit adds 20 pounds, so with both you can have a pair of 90 pound dumbbells.
The Powerblock Pro 100 (yes, a 100-pound adjustable dumbbell) is $439.90 for a single (down from $549). You'll save over $200 if you're buying two.
The Bowflex SelectTech 552 are on sale for $379/pair, from a list price of $549. They sometimes go for a bit less than list price, but the sale price here is lower than I've seen it all year.
Peloton and NordicTrack spin bikes are on sale
Peloton has gotten into the habit of offering sweet deals on its bikes on all the major shopping holidays, so of course there's a nice Black Friday sale going. The basic model Bike is $1,295 (down from $1,445) and the fancier Bike+ is $1,995 (normally $2,495). Of the two, the Bike+ is the better sale compared to historical price data, but ultimately you should choose based on which fits your needs better. I have a guide here to help you decide between the Bike and the Bike+.
Peloton isn't the only game in town when it comes to higher-end spin bikes, though. NordicTrack's Commercial Studio Cycle is $1,274.98 (down from $1,499.99) for the S22i model. It has the same size screen as the Peloton Bike, a swiveling mount for the screen like the Bike+, and automatic resistance like the Bike+. (Like Peloton's offerings, it also requires a monthly subscription to access its digital features—but in this case, you'll pay $39/month rather than $44.)
Theragun and Hyperice massage guns are on sale
A massage gun is a great tool for whenever you feel like you'd enjoy being punched repeatedly, but therapeutically. (As I discovered when I tried one out, I do not enjoy this—but many people do.) Some of the big brands have models on sale right now. The Hypervolt Go is $99 right now (normally $129) and it's available in both white and black. And the triangular Theragun Mini, normally $199, is now $149 or $159 depending on your color preference. Desert rose and black are the more inexpensive ones at the moment.
Speedo and my favorite Adidas gym bags are on sale
Speedo's Teamster backpack, normally $90, is on sale for Black Friday—but the price depends on the color you choose. Here's a tasteful forest green for $63.44, or a lively "Cheetah orange pop" for $38.28. This bag is beloved by swimmers for its wet-and-dry separation, sturdy construction, and pockets for everything.
There's also a nice sale going on the Adidas Defender duffel bag, hands down my favorite gym bag. I have it in Small ($26.99, normally $40) or you can get the Medium, ($26, normally $45), or the Large ($45.85, normally $55). These prices are for the classic black version with white logo, but there's a whole rainbow available. Prices vary by color.
Treadmills are on sale
NordicTrack's T series treadmills are on sale, with the T Series 6.5S going for $663.53 (down from $799.99) and the T Series 10 going for $999.99, down from $1,299.99. There's even a deal on the 10 with a year's membership for subscription content for $1,395 (down from $1,695).
Or if you prefer the Peloton ecosystem, the Peloton Tread is $2,695 right now, down from $2,995. Looking for a budget model instead? Try this Sunny treadmill for $394.99, down from $789.98. It's been on sale in recent months, but usually in the $600-$700 range—not for anywhere near this good a price.
Barbells, dumbbells, and other useful heavy things are on sale
Rogue Fitness is running a "Matte Black November" sale with discounts on a variety of items, some for limited times or with limited stock. One great deal that caught my eye (and which should be available through Cyber Monday) is the 15 kg Bella bar for $205 (normally $235). This is a 15 kilogram Olympic barbell, great for anyone who does Crossfit or olympic weightlifting, especially if you compete in the women's or youth divisions. (And if you're not clear on why there's a separate bar for women in these sports, I have a whole explainer here.)
There are also bumper plates on sale from various retailers, and I'd like to highlight these basic 45-pound bumpers from GIKPAL. Bumpers are great for Olympic lifts, but also for deadlifts or anything else where you'd like to protect your floor and your ears a bit. These are now $116 for a pair, normally $179.
Deals on fitness watches
I have a whole post on fitness trackers and smartwatch deals here, but to call out a few examples:
The Fitbit Charge 6 is $99.95 (regular price $159.95)
The Apple Watch Series 10 is $329 and up (regular price $399 and up, depending on size and connectivity)
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is $202.60 and up (original price $299.99, again depending on size and connectivity)
The Garmin Vivoactive 5 is $199.99 (regular price $299.99). It's a great watch for basic fitness tracking, and is what I'd recommend for Fitbit users who want an alternative to the Versa or Sense. (It also beat the Pixel Watch 3 in my head-to-head comparison.)
The Garmin Forerunner 165 is also $199.99 (regular price $249.99). If you're more of an athlete/runner, you may prefer this to the Vivoactive. (But if you're a serious runner, consider my fave the Forerunner 265/265s instead for $349.99, or splurge on the Forerunner 965 for $499. Both are $100 off their usual price.)
