Amazon Big Deal Days is October 7-8, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it's over.


October’s Prime Day is here, and these are my picks for the best fitness equipment you can get at a worthwhile discount. Compared to yesterday's early deals, today's deals have added some big-name items, such as Pelotons and Powerblocks, while NordicTrack treadmills and Lifepro dumbbells have dropped in price even further. Most of this fitness equipment can be paired with a fitness tracker or smartwatch, so if you're looking for one of those, check out my full roundup of fitness tracker and smartwatch sales. (I’ll keep updating this article as more things go on sale.)

The best Prime Day deals on weights

This Fitvids Olympic bumper plate set is a good deal, giving you 370 pounds of weight for $399.99. It includes a regulation-sized bar with 2” sleeves, and one pair each of bumper plates in 55, 45, 35, 25, 15, and 10 pounds. Some of those weights are an unusual choice—most of us would skip the 35s and 15s and just get extras of the more common sizes—but there’s nothing wrong with loading a bar this way, and you’ll certainly get plenty of use out of a set like this. (Bumpers are especially good for home gyms since they deaden a bit of the sound and impact of deadlifts on the floor.)

Adjustable dumbbells

Powerblocks are on sale, with these 5 to 50-pound Elite EXP adjustables going for $339.51 for a pair. The 90-pound version is $738.65 for a pair, down from $869.99. A single Powerblock 100, which goes up to 100 pounds, is $509.14, down from $599.99.

This Lifepro pair of 25-pound adjustables is $161.50, normally $199.99. Or get this single 90-pound adjustable dumbbell for $191.99, normally $319.99.

The best Prime Day deals on cardio equipment

Exercise bikes

The original Peloton Bike is down to $1,045, from $1,445. The Bike+ is $1,795, down from $2,495. (The new Cross Training bikes are not on sale.) If you'd like to pick up some accessories while you're Peloton shopping, the branded square dumbbells are all 15% off today, and many of the Altos premium shoes are deeply discounted. These in size 8 women's/6.5 men's are just $52.98.

Pooboo has its airbike available for $474.99 after a digital coupon, down from a list price of $699.99. Merach's Magnetic Pro screen-enabled spin bike with streaming fitness content is $379.99, down from $699.99

Rowers

Two Hydrow rowers are on sale today. The Hydrow Origin, with a 22” screen and streaming content, is $1,645, down from $2,195. And the Hydrow Wave, with a 16” screen, is $1,694, down from $1,995. For more on this brand, read our own Meredith Dietz’s review of a different model, the Hydrow Arc. She was impressed by both the rower’s build quality and Hydrow’s “genuinely intelligent training experience.”
