LOOKING TO UPGRADE your training routine with better clothes, gear, and equipment?

Our Picks
Why These Are Our Picks
Let’s get into it. Strength training deals reign supreme this month, with Amazon rolling out an arsenal of options to hit a variety of muscle groups. The BowFlex SelectTech 840 Adjustable Kettlebell is one of our top picks for adjustable kettlebells, with weight that goes up to 40 pounds. This is an excellent choice for slowly increasing your load without hogging a lot of space in your home gym.
The Kakiclay Multi-Grip Pull Up Bar is also marked down, a sturdy piece that allows to turn any doorway into your own personal bodyweight station. Add in the VINSGUIR Ab Roller Wheel, and you’ve got yourself a nice core workout. Our favorite budget weight bench is this foldable option from FLYBIRD—it’s lightweight yet surprisingly sturdy, and is even less expensive than usual thanks to an on-page coupon. While you’re at it, work on your grip strength with this trainer, a device with resistance that adjusts up to 132 pounds.
You have plenty of on-sale choices for cardio equipment, too. The YOSUDA Indoor Cycling Bike is a solid machine for putting in miles smoothly at home. It’s currently sitting at under $200. The company also has a rower marked down. It offers up to 72 pounds of resistance and is foldable, making it a nice fit for tight spaces. If you’re willing to spend a little more (but still score a discount), the Echelon Row is an excellent choice for HIIT workouts or general training. It features a massive touchscreen you can use to stream on-demand classes, too. To get your steps in during the workday, there’s the Urevo Walking Pad, our top budget under-desk treadmill thanks to its reliability and already-low price tag.
On the gear front, the Garmin Instinct 2 is a powerful smartwatch that tracks health markers with ease. It clearly displays your health metrics and has an impressive battery life that stretches up to 28 days. Garmin recently rolled out the Instinct 3, which we’ve also tested. It’s currently on sale, too,—both devices use similar technology. Nike’s Free Metcon 6 is our top group fitness shoe, providing superior stability across a range of movements on grass, turf, sand, and more. Use this inside or out: You’ll feel well supported either way.
The JBL Flip 6 delivers surprisingly loud sound from a small package, providing extra motivation while you grind it out. This portable speaker is waterproof and built tough. If you prefer to keep the sound to yourself, consider the Apple AirPods Pro 2, our top choice for the best workout headphones. The snug fit and intuitive controls make for an outstanding workout accessory.
Finally, two of our favorite recovery tools are in the mix to help roll out and knead sore muscles after those grueling workout sessions. No matter your goals, Amazon’s Memorial Day fitness sales will help you get after them.
