We Found 38 of the Best Amazon Prime Day Deals for Your Home Gyms and Fitness

When it comes to exercise equipment, less is always more. You don’t need racks and racks of dumbbells or 15x15m metre space in which to crush a home workout, nor do you need an ‘Iron Paradise’ like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Far from it, actually — you can build muscle, hit your fat stores and feel healthier with minimal kit and, crucially, minimal space.

After new exercise equipment? We give the lowdown on the best kettlebells, dumbbells, resistance bands and more for your home gym

But, as with anything, knowing where to start can be the biggest obstacle in assembling your ideal home gym set-up. One kettlebell or two? An adjustable dumbbell or a pull-up bar? An exercise bike or a weight bench?

It’s a head-scratcher, that’s for sure. Here, Men’s Health UK is on hand to help you separate necessity from luxury, alongside our recommendations on where to spend your hard-earned cash. The best part? As part of Amazon Prime Day, running from 00:01 on October 13th to 23:59 on October 14th, you can save some serious cash on home gym equipment in the retailer’s huge sale.

Not only will you save swathes of money once the gyms re-open, you’ll make a health and fitness nirvana that, on a cost-per-use basis, could be the best money you’ve ever spent. And we’re not exaggerating. What’s more, when you’ve got your own kit, you don’t have to worry about unwelcome germs or sweaty kit. The only downside? You’ll have zero excuses for shirking a workout. Let’s go.

If You’re After… Kettlebells

The OG of muscle-building, there’s very little the humble kettlebell can’t do. From kettlebell swings to overheard presses and thrusters, they’re the ultimate fat-burning, muscle-building tool – deploy a set at your fat’s peril. Here’s a trio of our favourites for home exercise equipment:

If You’re After… Dumbbells

Tried, test and devilishly effective, you could invest in a set of dumbbells (or an adjustable set) and consider your mission for exercise equipment a roaring success. Here’s what the Men’s Health staff rate…

If You’re After… Resistance Bands

One of the most effective pieces of home workout gear, the humble resistance band is still vastly under-rated by the average person, despite being a low-cost and high-impact piece of kit. Let’s change that, shall we?

If You’re After… A Cardio Machine

Spin classes are old hat. For many, exercises bikes are one of the best ways to stay fit, especially if recent ‘self-isolation’ rules are stopping you from getting your daily dose of outdoor exercises. Here are a few we love
