Walmart's Black Friday fitness deals were great, and the deals continue for Cyber Monday. All of the deals below are still available, giving you a cheap way to equip your home gym, or to help someone on your gift list upgrade their gear.

Quick-select adjustable dumbbells for $150 each

The ultimate home-gym buy is a set of quick-adjustable dumbbells, but they’re pricey. Even on sale for Black Friday, a pair of Bowflex SelectTech 1090s will run you $299 each. (That’s 25% off the regular price, though, so definitely snap those up if you want the name brand.) This FitRX Smartbell is a similar design, adjusting from 10 to 90 pounds with the turn of a dial. 

GET THE DEAL:

FitRX Smartbell XL, 10-90 pounds $149.99 (was $249.98) each—so they’re now $299.98 for a pair, down from nearly $500. 

This XTERRA rower is 80% off

Is this a Concept2? No. But can you get a new Concept2 for 300 smackers? You cannot. This XTERRA rower looks like a pretty solid alternative, and it’s a whopping 80% off.

XTERRA ERG700 rower $299 (was $1,499.99) 

Get a barbell set with bumpers for just $250

A barbell is a fundamental component of a “real” home gym in my opinion, but it can be hard to find a good set on the cheap. Bumper plates, especially, are great for home gyms (less noise and floor damage), but they tend to be expensive. 

Good thing, then, that this weight set is affordable to start and dirt cheap now that it’s on sale. For the price, you get a full-size barbell with one pair each of 45-pound, 25-pound, and 10-pound bumper plates. That will let you build a barbell that weighs up to 205 pounds—yes, you count the weight of the bar. To round out the set, I’d recommend getting one pair each of 2.5-pound and 5-pound plates, and another pair of 10-pounders, and this way you’ll be able to make every 5-pound increment from 45 up to 205. 

205 pounds is plenty for most beginner lifters to get started (especially kids and lightweight women), but eventually, you’ll outgrow the set. If you’d rather buy a bigger set to start with, there’s also a 370-pound set that works out to 415 pounds including the barbell. 

GET THE DEALS:

BalanceFrom 160-pound Olympic bumper plate set plus barbell $249.99 (was $449.99)

BalanceFrom 370-pound bumper plate set plus barbell $399.99 (was $749.99)

CAP Barbell Olympic grip plate pairs $10.98 for a pair of 5-pounders or $19.98 for a pair of 10’s. (The 2.5-pound plates come in a set of 4, for $10.98.)

A squat rack for just $170

Now that you have your barbell, how are you going to squat it? Consider this budget power cage your entry-level option. (Don’t forget the spotter arms, which have a 400-pound capacity and are sold separately for $34.99.)

$300 off a two-cable functional trainer

If you’re interested in a cable machine, the style sometimes known as a “functional trainer” makes a ton of sense for a small space. These have two vertical cable stacks, which you can use together or separately, and they’ll come with a variety of attachments that you can use for tons of different exercises. These types of machines are a staple of hotel gyms because they really do let you do a lot of different exercises, especially for the upper body, in a small footprint. 

This machine from Centr (Centr by Chris Hemsworth, I’m told) comes with a 165-pound weight stack on each cable, and includes a tablet holder if you’d like to follow along with Centr’s digital workouts. (The machine comes with a three-month free trial.) That said, we have plenty of ideas for how to use a cable machine to build your own workouts. 

GET THE DEAL:

Centr 2 Functional Trainer $1,699 (was $1,999)

A trap bar for under $100

The trap bar, or hex bar, is an excellent tool for deadlifting. If you need to compete in a sport that requires straight-bar deadlifts, fine; but if you just want to pick something up off the ground without thinking about it too much, a trap bar is the perfect piece of equipment to do that with. This trap bar is only $75 for the traditional kind, and $70 for the “open” type that not only allows you to carry it while you walk, but also lets you prop it up to change the plates. This would be a great addition to the bumper plate set above.

GET THE DEAL:

BalanceFrom 1000-Pound Capacity Open Trap Bar $69.99 (was $169.99)

A folding bench for just $100

Whether your home gym uses dumbbells, barbells, or both, you’ll want a bench to sit on for bench presses and seated exercises. This bench has six incline settings and can even be folded for storage. It’s got a padded top and a 600-pound capacity, counting both you and the weight you’re lifting. 

GET THE DEAL:

Pooboo Adjustable Folding Bench, 600-Pound Capacity $109.99 (was $299.99)
