Prime Day–or days, four of them this year—has begun. Tons of fitness items are on sale, including cardio machines, smartwatches, and basics like weights and shoes. Here are my picks for the best deals so far. I’ll be updating this list throughout the week with more deals. 

The best Prime Day deals on cardio equipment

• Hydrow Pro rowing machine: $1,735 today, down from $2,195. This rower has a 22” HD screen that can deliver live and on-demand workouts with a $44/month subscription. The smaller Hydrow Wave is $1,453, down from $1,695.

• Peloton Bike: The original Peloton Bike is $1,144.99 today, normally $1,495. The Bike+ is $1,994.99, normally $2,495. Pelotons also require a $44/month subscription for their content and full features. And if you’re having trouble deciding, we have a rundown here of the differences between the Bike and the Bike+. 

• NordicTrack T Series treadmills: The 6.5S model is $664, down from $799. Other models in the T series line are on sale, too, at that same link.

• NordicTrack Commercial treadmills: The Commercial 2540 is $2,499, down from $2,999. It can go as fast as 14 miles per hour, and increase to a 12% incline. What's special about this one is it can also do a 3% decline, incredibly useful if you're training for something that has a lot of downhill running that you need to get used to. This treadmill also folds into an upright position for space savings.

• Proform Carbon treadmills:The Proform Carbon TL is $463.99, down from $599. It has a built-in fan and a space-saving design. 

The best Prime Day deals on smartwatches and fitness trackers

• Fitbit: The Charge 6 is just $99.95 today (normally $159), a great price for a tracker that does the basics solidly. (See my review here.) The Inspire 3 is also on sale, for $74.95 (normally $99.95).

• Garmin Forerunners: The Forerunner 955 is $349.99 (originally $599.99). This is an older model with a MIP screen, which some people prefer anyway. It’s got built-in maps and tons of advanced running features. Other Garmins are also on good sales today, including the Forerunner 255 ($199.99, originally $349.99), and the Epix Pro (gen 2) Sapphire ($609.99, originally $1,099.99)

• Garmin Venu 3S: $399.99, originally $449.99. The Venu 3S (and its larger cousin the Venu 3, same price) is Garmin's smartwatchiest watch, with voice calling and ECG features. If like the Venu's style but you're looking for a more budget-friendly watch, try the Vivoactive 5 ($190.99, originally $299).

• Apple Watch Series 10: starts at $279.99, originally $399. This is the one that is the best Apple Watch for most people, and can even give a Garmin a run for its money with the right apps.

• Apple Watch SE: starts at $169, originally $249. The SE is the budget version of the Apple Watch, and

The best Prime Day deals on adjustable dumbbells

• Powerblock Pro 100: This 100-pound dumbbell (sold as a single) is $509.99, originally $599.99. 

• CAP Adjustabells: $208.99 today, down from $299. This is an entry-level set that goes up to 55 pounds each, and are sold by the pair. 

The best Prime Day deals on home gym equipment

• Keppi adjustable bench: $195.96, originally $279.99. I have this bench in my own home gym and it’s great—super sturdy for barbell lifts and easily adjustable. 

• Lat pulldown handle set: $96.79, down from $120.99. This is a set of five handles in different widths, from narrow neutral grips to ultra-wide grips.

• Barbell and bumper plate set: $406.10 for a set that includes 370 pounds of weights. That’s $1.10 per pound, which is a steal for bumper plates.

The best Prime Day deals on fitness accessories

• Adidas Defender 4.0 duffel bag: $27 for the medium size, down from $45. I tell you guys every year that this is my favorite gym bag, and it's still true—my six-year-old Defender in size Small still holds everything perfectly and looks like it's brand new.

• Ativafit weighted vest: $53.19, down from $69.99. This vest is adjustable and can go from two pounds up to 22 pounds, which will cover most of your rucking needs.

• Flipbelt running belt: $27.75, down from $37. This is one of my favorite running belts, and holds a ton of stuff.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

• Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

• Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

• Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.
