January sales and 2021 fitness equipment deals: When do they start?
On December 26th, of course! Typically, retailers will order a surplus of stock to ensure they've got ample supply for the busiest shopping season of the year. After Christmas, they slash prices to move the stock to make way for new stuff, hence the January sales period.
This is a great chance to get the best health and fitness tech and kit at reduced prices, so you can pick up everything you need to start your 2021 fitness journey. Whether you're after some of the best adjustable dumbbells, best resistance bands, the best workout clothes for women, the best workout clothes for men or even the best Fitbit deals, you'll be able to find them in these sales.
January sales tip: take advantage of a free Amazon Prime account
We've already spoken about Amazon and why it's so essential for getting some of the best January sales and deals available. However, to really get the best out of Amazon (including free shipping), you'll want a Prime account.
Not only do Prime members get exclusive deals, but they also get 30-minute early access window to every temporary "Lightning Deal" Amazon runs. This means many products don't even reach the general public before they sell out – they're often just snapped up exclusively by Prime members.
Luckily, Amazon Prime is available on a 30-day free trial (opens in new tab), which will allow you to bag the deal you want with first-come, first-served access.
If you don't want to continue with the benefits Prime membership delivers, then just cancel the trial. It's that simple: you won't have spent a penny, but will have already got access to Amazon's best sales.

From exercise bikes to resistance bands, anything and everything is discounted. The biggest discounts are often on the biggest products, as discounts are usually done on percentage to incentivise buyers.
If you're in the market for the best elliptical machine or best treadmill, this is the time to strike, as these are the big purchases which are likely to be significantly cheaper. Likewise, for any small electronics with high prices – think Fitbits and Apple Watches – you can expect to see significant discounts, especially with last year's models.
Finally, don't forget the smaller stuff: from resistance bands to running socks, you'll be able to pick loads of these essentials up for a song from many big outlets like Amazon.
