The Pro R10 Rower has a 10-inch smart HD touchscreen that broadcasts your stats (e.g. time, strokes per minute, distance, etc) during each workout. Enable the iFit app, and a trainer will come on screen to interact with you and automatically adjust the resistance while you row.

Our Pick: Aviron Fit Bike
We became loyal to Aviron after trying its Interaction Strong Go Rowing Machine, which ultimately won our top spot for best rowing machine. But we're tempted by its Black Friday sale to add a Fit Bike to our cardio collection. High-tech, compact, and currently $200 off, the Aviron Fit Bike includes all the gizmos and gadgets you’d want from an at-home bike. To name a few: 22-inch pivoting touchscreen, expansive library of trainer-led workouts, Bluetooth connectivity, and an ergonomic toe cage on the pedals.

WalkingPad is offering up to $200 off walking pads and treadmills during its Black Friday sale with the code BLACK or BACKIN.

The WalkingPad R1 Pro was made to combat stiff hips and dead butt syndrome—both very real things that can happen from sitting for hours on end. This beloved no-frills walking pad is currently $100 off for just $699. It's a pared-down treadmill with a foldable handrail, allowing this budget-friendly pick to fit seamlessly under your desk. We especially loved the surprisingly simple set-up process: Unfold the machine, plug it in, and then start walking. During meetings, you can set the treadmill to manual mode so that it automatically detects and adjusts to your cadence. Or, you can use the included remote control to manage speed.
Force USA: Free shipping & free flooring on select models
Force USA is offering free shipping and free flooring tiles with the purchase of certain plate loaded and weight stack models.
Our Pick: Force USA G20 Pro All-in-One Trainer
Any all-in-one functional trainer is a serious purchase. But to sweeten the deal, Force USA is offering free shipping and flooring on popular plate-loaded and weight-stack models, ultimately saving you a hundred bucks or more. For anyone with serious strength goals and space to spare, we recommend the G20 Pro All-in-One Trainer. This beefcake features a power rack, Smith machine, pull-up station, cable station, dip bar, leg press, and weight organization all in one, which saves you major dough compared to buying each item separately. With so much going on, you may expect the G20 Pro to be a sprawling hulk of a machine, but you'd be wrong—it's clever and compact, while still giving you space to accommodate two users at once. Take advantage of this offer and call it a Black Friday gift for you and your gym BFF.
BowFlex: Up to $800 off, plus free shipping
BowFlex has marked down most of its cardio machines by $200 to $800 for a limited time, plus free shipping on select models sitewide.
Our Pick: BowFlex VeloCore Bike 16
After earning accolades in the best treadmill and best elliptical categories, we've come to trust BowFlex for all of our cardio needs. With that, we’re confidently using this jaw-dropping Black Friday offer as an excuse to try out the BowFlex VeloCore Bike 16. Currently just $1499—$800 less than its usual price tag—this stationary bike boasts features we’ve come to expect from premium indoor bikes, like an HD touchscreen, dual-sided pedals, and multiple handlebar configurations. But it also has one feature we haven’t seen before: leaning mode, which challenges you to shift your body weight side-to-side just as you would when riding IRL. Your obliques will thank you.
Bells of Steel: Up to 67% off sale items
Bells of Steel offers up to 67% off all its on-sale fitness equipment, including barbells, resistance bands, medicine balls, and more.
Our Pick: Barenaked Powerlifting Bar
The Barenaked Powerlifting Bar is the perfect complement to our pick for the best power rack, the Bells of Steel 3x3 Inch Four Post Hydra Rack. Thankfully, the steel barbell is 10% off on Bells of Steel. This 45-pound bar features 29mm girth, powerlifting marks, and aggressive knurling for easy grip. While technically approved, it matches the standards of the International Powerlifting Federation, so you'll feel right at home if you do happen to enter a competition.
Mikolo: Up to $750 off

Our Pick: MIKOLO QJ Squat Rack

This rack has a foldable, wall-mounted design that helps it fit into small spaces or single-car garages. Case in point: When you’re using it with the steel legs pulled out, this rack is less than two feet deep.When stowed away, it's nearly flush to the wall. Right now, the QJ Squat Rack is $110 off for a total of just $299.
Assault Fitness: Up to $500 off the Elite Line
Assault Fitness, the brand behind CrossFit athletes’ favorite bike and treadmill, is offering up to $500 off its cardio machines for Black Friday.
Our Pick: Assault Fitness Assault Runner Elite
The Assault Runner Elite’s name isn’t wishful thinking from the brand; this manual treadmill is truly best in class. iIt features a shock-absorbing belt for smooth, lower-impact striding. The tread also sports sweat-resistant handles, transport wheels for easy storage, and two water bottle holders—all without the pressure of finding a nearby electrical outlet. That’s right, this on-sale option is powered by your body rather than, well, power. At full price, this A-list pick is just under $4,000, so $500 off for Black Friday is a major steal.
How To Find the Best Black Friday Fitness Deals
Finding a Black Friday fitness deal that's worth actually getting out your credit card starts with getting honest about what type of fitness equipment you’ll actually use. According to physical therapist Grayson Wickham, D.P.T., C.S.C.S., founder of digital movement platform Movement Vault, “The best fitness equipment purchase is the one you’ll use, and the worst home gym purchase is the one you don’t actually use.” Instead of succumbing to the temptation of an impulse purchase (or three), think about your current goals and what equipment upgrades may help you reach those milestones. You may also want to take out a measuring tape and assess just how much (or little) space you have for machines, racks, and more.
Once you know what equipment you want to order, you need to know where to look. Lucky for you, we did all the heavy lifting on that front. We've spent hours and hours rigorously testing equipment from a variety of trusted fitness companies and analyzing every tiny detail of the entire experience—from shopping to delivery to actually working out. No stone is left unturned, no dumbbell unlifted.
Finally, compare your budget to the price of the gear you’re considering. Even though the fitness equipment you’re eyeing may be majorly discounted for Black Friday, large fitness items (like weights and machines) can still cost a pretty penny.
What Type of Fitness Equipment Will Be on Sale on Black Friday?
Whether you’re looking to beef up your strength equipment or transform your spare room into a tricked-out treadmill space, there will be a fitness equipment sale on Black Friday that supports your wishes. Top-tier brands like NordicTrack, BowFlex, and Proform will offer on-sale bikes, rowers, and ellipticals. Meanwhile, Force USA, Mikolo, and Bells of Steel will do you a solid on strength equipment. Whether you’re a marathon runner or self-proclaimed meathead, bicyclist or barbell fanatic, the type of equipment you use and love will be on sale this Black Friday.
