How I built a home gym without spending more than $250 on any exercise machine
It goes without saying that gyms across the country took a huge hit in 2020 and it may still be several years before some of them fully recover. But as much as I love going to the gym and as much as I’m rooting for small independent gym owners, there’s no way I’m going back to the gym anytime soon.
Interactive fitness apps are more than enough to motivate me, and they’re typically much less expensive than a gym membership. On top of that, I’ve spent the past year building my own home gym with all the exercise machines I need. No, I didn’t spend thousands and thousands of dollars building a home gym. Believe it or not, the figure is actually in the hundreds. How did I pull it off? Simple: Amazon is packed full of well-reviewed home gym gear that costs so much less than you think.
Did you know you can get a really good flywheel-style exercise bike for just $181? How about a best-selling mechanical treadmill for only $147? You won’t believe the kind of value you can at Amazon if you know where to look. And lucky for you, we’re going to show you exactly where to look.
Skipping the gym doesn’t have to mean skipping workouts. If you think you can’t afford a home gym, think again because there are some fantastic deals over at Amazon right now on all sorts of exercise equipment. Instead of paying $50 or $60 each month on a gym membership, why not get your own gear and watch it pay for itself in no time? We gave you two great examples above, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Other hot home gym deals on Amazon right now include a foldable exercise bike for $160, an electric treadmill for $225, and an elliptical trainer for just $179!
