Gyms across the country took a huge hit last year. Even though things have reopened, it may still be quite a while before some of them fully recover. Sadly, many of them have already closed permanently due to a lack of business. It's definitely a bummer, but it's also a tough business to be in right now. I love going to the gym and as much as I'm rooting for small independent gym owners. But there's no way I'm personally going back to the gym anytime soon. Clearly, there are plenty of other people out there who feel the same way.
Like so many of you, I've turned to apps instead. Interactive fitness apps are more than enough to motivate me and they're typically much less expensive than a gym membership. On top of that, I've spent the past year building my own home gym with all the exercise machines I need. No, I didn't spend thousands and thousands of dollars building a home gym in my basement. Not even close. Believe it or not, the figure is actually in the hundreds. Are you wondering how I pulled it off? Well, you'll be happy to learn that the answer is very simple: Amazon is packed full of well-reviewed home gym gear that costs so much less than you think.
Are you aware that you can get a really good flywheel-style exercise bike for just $209? Or how about a best-selling mechanical treadmill for only $148? You seriously won't believe the kind of value you can find at Amazon if you know where to look.
Lucky for you, we're going to show you exactly where to look.
Just because you're skipping the gym, it doesn't mean you have to skip your workouts altogether. If you think you can't afford a home gym, think again because there are some fantastic deals over at Amazon right now on all sorts of exercise equipment. Instead of paying $50 or $60 each month on a gym membership, why not get your own gear and watch it pay for itself in no time? We offered readers two great examples above, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Other hot home gym deals on Amazon right now include a foldable exercise bike for $110, an electric treadmill for $230, and an elliptical trainer for just $169!
Check out Amazon's exercise and fitness section for so much more home gym gear that's surprisingly affordable, and you'll find five particularly impressive options down below.
