THE SUMMER IS still going strong, which only means one thing: We’re still getting shredded. This is particularly relevant for those who may have gone a little overboard during this year’s bulk, intentional or not. The good news: we’re seeing tons of Labor Day deals on fitness gear, tech, and equipment ahead of the holiday weekend.
If you’re looking to lighten the load and focus on cardio, high-rep sets, and recovery, increasing your home gym splits might be the way to go. Now’s as good a time as any—we’re looking at over 40 percent off weight benches, foldable treadmills, adjustable dumbbells, and more. In the market for some new summer digs? Save up to 40 percent on editor-tested gym apparel and shoes for a limited time. Fitness trackers, smartwatches, and smart scales are up to almost 50 percent off, too.
SHOP LABOR DAY HOME GYM GEAR SALES
We rounded up some of our favorite Labor Day deals below, and you have ample time to get that six-pack ready in prime condition for your last couple of beach trips. If not, there’s always next year. But you’d better get started now.
Labor Day Home Gym Deals
There are definitely a few steals to be had here. One of our favorite budget adjustable benches, the Flybird Adjustable Weight Bench, is almost 30 percent off and just over $100. This bench pairs well with either the Bowflex Results Series 552 SelectTech Dumbbells (17 percent off for a single) or the budget-friendly Flybird Adjustable Dumbbells (now almost 30 percent off). FED Fitness (which makes Flybird equipment) offers some of the best wallet-friendly home gym equipment on the market. I use their adjustable Olympic Weight Bench, and I swear it’s better than the commercial one from my gym, and it was less than $300. Their stuff is legit.
The beginner-friendly Yosuda Rowing Machine is 20 percent off and now under $200. A few of NordicTrack’s T Series 5 Treadmills are up to 22 percent off (with a 30-Day iFIT Membership included) and offer commercial-grade performance right from your home. You can also grab the Merach Walking Pad for a little over $250 if you want to squeeze in some cardio during work.
Labor Day Fitness Tech Deals
Now’s a good time to upgrade your fitness tracker. The latest Apple Watch Series 11 smartwatch is once again 25 percent off on Amazon, which we’ll take any day of the week. This is a solid option for most people, but if you’re looking for something a little more rugged (and with more battery life), there are plenty of Garmin deals we love, including nearly half off the Garmin epix Pro. One of our favorite budget-friendly smart scales, the Withings Smart Scale, is 14 percent off and about as good a deal you’ll ever find at just under $65. If you’re looking to upgrade your recovery, the Bob and Brad C2 Massage Gun is another budget-friendly buy, and the extra 29 percent off definitely helps.
Labor Day Workout Gear Deals
We’re seeing almost 50 percent off top-tested shoes and apparel, including already budget-friendly apparel and some of our favorite Brooks shoes. Take almost 50 percent off the Glycerin 22 and the ultra-comfy Ghost Max 3. The Under Armour Tech 2.0 is under $20—run to this deal.
If you have trouble finding well-fitting T-shirts both in and out of the gym, True Classic is my go-to. They accentuate your upper body and provide a more flattering, relaxed fit in the midsection. Right now, you can take 43 percent off a six-pack of them. Hanes also makes some underrated workout apparel through its Hanes Moves line, and the Moves Performance Shorts are almost 40 percent off and just $16. They’re soft, stretchy, and feel much more expensive than they are.
