A tried-and-true workout machine, the $1,195 ($300 off) Peloton Bike sits at the top of ZDNet's best home gym equipment for good reason. Besides building a cult following through virtual, online spin cycle classes, the Peloton Bike has the caveat of catering to all fitness levels. You don't have to be a marathon cyclist to get an effective, full-body workout. Note that a $39 per month subscription is required to get you on-demand access to Peloton's catalog of trainers and class types, ranging from beginner to advanced.
Arguably the best Peloton alternative, NordicTrack's commercial S22i studio cycle is currently on sale for just $1,499 ($699 off), with a free 30-day iFIT Family Membership ($39 value) included. For the price, you're getting a formidable exercise bike that's impressively quiet -- thanks to magnetic resistance, a rotating HD touchscreen that spans 22 inches, and NordicTrack's Quiet Drive tech, which silently shifts the incline and decline to realistically mimic the terrain of where you're virtually riding. For the full experience, connect to the iFIT network of live and on-demand workouts and you'll have fun sweating in no time.
Straying from the traditional workout machines, FightCamp offers an interactive, full-body workout in the form of boxing. As an at-home service, you can sync your workouts to an online profile, track your progress, and participate in a library of virtual boxing classes. There's enough variety to keep your mind and body well-stimulated and engaged for a serious cardio workout. Right now, you can save up to $220 with the FightCamp Personal package, which includes punch trackers and the capacitive free-standing bag. The online FightCamp membership goes for $39 a month, to be paid separately.
If running and jogging are more of your thing, then give the XTERRA TR150 a shot. Discounted to $347 ($152 off), the treadmill gets the job done for anyone wanting to build stamina and get some miles in. The standout feature for the TR150? Portability. You can fold it up to save your room some space, and it has transport wheels for added mobility.
The pandemic hasn't made it easy for working out...outside. If you miss curling dumbbells and using the pull-down bar at your local gym, the Bowflex PR1000 is for you. Priced at $599 ($200 off), the PR1000 is a 25-in-1 strength workout machine. It features a 200-pound power rod for heavy-duty resistance and an array of pulleys to get an arm, shoulder, chest, or back exercise in.
Perhaps you're more of an upper-body kind of person? Walmart currently has the ProForm 750R Smart Power on sale for $599.99, a $400 discount from retail. For the price, you get a commercial-grade rowing machine, built with over 26 resistance levels and an air-cooling system to replicate that of an actual boat. It's a great pickup if building core strength and saving money are your goals.
The unsung hero of workouts: smartwatches. The original Apple Watch launched back in 2015 and has remained a Goliath in the smartwatch space, thanks to its reliability and abundance of fitness-tailored features. Right now, you can save on a bounty of Apple Watch models, including the latest Apple Watch 7 and the Apple Watch SE.
Another killer deal on a fitness smartwatch, Amazon is currently discounting the Fitbit Sense by $100, putting the previously $300 wearable in a more affordable price range. ZDNet's resident smartwatch reviewer, Matthew Miller, tested the Fitbit when first released and found its scope of health and wellness tracking to be accurate and dependable. It carries a bright AMOLED watch face, is sweat- and water-resistant (up to 50 meters), and can last up to six days on a charge.
