Do you have problems focusing? Are you overstimulated by noise? Do you struggle to work in a distracting environment?

I did too, once, but my Loop Switch 2 made those issues a thing of the past, and they are now reduced by 20% in Amazon's Big Deal Days sale.

This amazing deal is exclusively for Amazon Prime members, but you can sign up for a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial and get instant access to membership perks.

You can then cancel any time, or it’s $14.99 a month (plus taxes) once the trial is over.

I love that I can wear my Loop Switch 2 while working to block out distractions, then head to the pub or a gig without changing to a different pair.

The handy makes it easy to toggle between modes and find a noise level I'm comfortable with.

For me, that varies throughout the day and depends on what I'm doing and how overstimulated I feel. Being able to respond and adjust as my environment changes is invaluable, especially as someone with sensory sensitivities.

Instead of rooting through my purse in a panic looking for a more powerful set of Loops, I simply reach up to my ear and flick the switch to suit my needs.

I’m a personal trainer and I spend the majority of my time in leggings—so I’m picky about which ones earn a place in my wardrobe.

Amazingly, I still wear some Fabletics leggings I bought in my early 30s (I’m now 48), so I know how much value you can get from a pair that lasts.

Comfort is essential, but I also look for a high waist, handy pockets and a fit that stays put through runs and squats. Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days discounts include Nike leggings with up to 34% off and Adidas with up to 39% off, alongside affordable brands discounted by as much as 44%. Here are some other bargains that caught my eye.

These gorgeous fleece-lined leggings from COOLOVER made the list because they offer extra warmth on chilly winter walks, while YEOREO’s seamless “butt lifting” leggings come with a three-layer tummy control waistband and a choice of 10 colors.

For everyday value, you can’t go wrong with Leafigure’s two-pack of high-waisted leggings. They have pockets (the dream!) and at $11.99 with 20% off, they are an affordable way to stock up if, like me, you get behind on the washing and always appreciate a fresh pair at the back of the drawers. Choose from 15 different colors. And don’t miss this amazing deal on these buttery soft IUGA leggings, now with 44% off!

Jennifer Aniston has been candid about how her approach to working out has changed as she’s gotten older.

The 57-year-old actress and Pvolve partner once subjected herself to lengthy, intense workouts, but now values short, functional routines.

“I’ve learned that consistency doesn’t have to mean long workouts,” she stated when Pvolve released her favorite arm and abs workouts.

“I feel stronger now than I did years ago, and that’s because I focus on consistency over extremes.”

It’s these short, functional sessions that have built her impressive arms and abs, according to Aniston—and you can get the exact workouts and equipment she uses in the Pvolve sale.

Aniston partnered with Pvolve back in 2023 and now works out under the guidance of the company’s head trainer, Dani Coleman.

“Jen's really down for the get down,” Coleman told Fit&Well in an interview last year.

“She truly lets me throw anything at her; everything is taken with a grain of salt, and she always keeps me laughing.”

Since partnering with the brand, Aniston has regularly shared the exact workout routines she does on the app: you can copy her express arms and abs workouts, along with a 30-day workout routine she recommends for longevity benefits.

The Pvolve workout method focuses on low-impact movements, taking inspiration from Pilates, and mixing it with strength training and mobility.

The app features both pre-recorded workouts and live classes, with a focus on mobility, strength and cardio.

You can access the app without buying any of the accompanying equipment that Pvolve sells, but that may limit the classes which you can participate in.

We’re fond of home workouts at Fit&Well. Compared with going to a gym to exercise, you save on travel time, never have to wait for someone else to finish with the equipment, can wear what you like and pick the playlist.

While bodyweight exercises are a great place to start, sooner or later it pays to add some equipment.

There are few better times to add to your home setup than Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. Held every October for Prime members (there’s a 30-day free trial for new customers), the two-day sale includes plenty of home workout equipment.

To get you started, I've rounded up 20 of the best fitness deals under $30. I've chosen top-rated brands and products our team has tested, so you know they're worth your hard-earned cash.

I’ve been strength training for over five years. My routine has varied over time, but it’s usually been based at a gym.

However, after a recent city move, I decided to switch to training at home—I needed to find something heavy to lift that wouldn’t take up too much space.

After some research, I decided to pick up the NordicTrack select-a-weight adjustable dumbbells.

Right now, they’re nearly $80 off on Amazon's Prime Big Deal Day—and I think they’re a fantastic addition to a home workout setup.

I’ve now been using the adjustable dumbbells for seven weeks, while exclusively strength training at home.

Not only have I been lifting more regularly because of how easy it is to work out at home, but I’ve been getting stronger and consistently increasing the weights.

It’s easy to add load to the dumbbells (it takes literally seconds to switch the adjustment lever) and I’ve had no issues with the weights falling out of place, so they feel safe and secure to use.

They are a little wide for my hands, which is myonly gripe—but at least they’re testing out my grip strength!

So far, I haven’t gone above lifting 30lbs with each dumbbell, so I know these dumbbells will last me a long time, even as I continuously apply progressive overload principles to my workouts.

They’re a great option for anyone who wants to save money on a gym membership or start lifting weights from home.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days have arrived, heralding the start of the deals season. I always hold back my spending until this time of year to get the most for my money, and with the holidays just around the corner, it’s a great opportunity to line up gifts early, avoiding stock issues and delivery mishaps in December.

The team at Fit&Well are sifting through Amazon’s offers, as well as sales at rival retailers, to highlight discounts on products that have genuinely improved their lives. From footwear to weights to supplements, we’re putting our name behind products we think could help improve your wellbeing.

I’ll be collecting deals here for the entire two-day sale period, so if nothing catches your eye just yet, keep checking back to see what’s been added.

I've tested many water-resistant shoes in my quest to find the best walking shoes, but few are truly waterproof.

The Columbia Peakfreak Rush Outdry is not only completely waterproof, but is a five-star walking shoe too. I really couldn't fault it when I tested it earlier this year.

Usually, the low-top model retails at $130 and the high-top at $140, but both have significant discounts right now.

Amazon's Big Deals Days have brought it down to the lowest I've ever seen—it's now only $48.90.

This amazing deal is exclusively for Amazon Prime members, but you can sign up for a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial and get instant access to membership perks.

You can then cancel any time, or it’s $14.99 a month (plus taxes) once the trial is over.

Looking for a boot rather than a shoe? No problem.

The Peakfreak Rush comes in a high-top version too, with more ankle support and the same impenetrable waterproofing.

Columbia's Peakfreak range is ideal for a wet day on the trail and is comfortable enough to wear on a wet day about town, too.

I reach for my Peakfreaks all the time for wet dog walks—if it’s icy underfoot too, there's no contest.

The grippy outsole has kept me upright more times than I'd like to admit.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days officially begin tomorrow, October 6, but there are already some great deals live.

The best I’ve seen so far is this Saucony shoe deal, with up to 73% off the Hurricane 24.

Its successor, the Hurricane 25, is one of my favorite shoes for walking, so I’m happy to recommend this earlier version.

On top of this mind-blowing discount, there are some other great deals that I've rounded up below if the Hurricane isn't what you're looking for.

October Prime Day is one of the best times of year to get your hands on branded sportswear, premium shoes and other fitness equipment at a budget-friendly price.

If you aren't a member, you can sign up for a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial and access deals right away. You can cancel any time, or it’s $14.99 a month (plus taxes) once the trial is over.

Of all the comfy walking shoes I tested in 2025, the Saucony Hurricane 25 was by far the best for walking on hard surfaces like concrete.

It's a well-designed running shoe, with a price tag to match the level of technical support it provides.

However, you can currently get a pair for up to 49% off at Amazon.

Stock is low across most sizes and colorways, so if you need a new pair of shoes for long walks or runs, you need to act quickly.

The Hurricane 25 has remained unbeaten since I reviewed it.

It's bouncy but slightly firmer underfoot than other super plush road shoes I've tested, like the Brooks Glycerin.

While I love stacking and cushioning in my shoes, sometimes my feet need firmer support—this is particularly true when I'm walking on asphalt or concrete.

That firmness actually makes the shoe more comfortable on long-distance walks on harder surfaces.

There's an extra degree of stability thanks to that dense sole, which made me feel more secure on my feet.

I'm usually disappointed when my favorite gadgets get an upgrade.

A quick beauty makeover and minor software tweaks rarely justify the price hike.

But sometimes, I'm pleasantly surprised.

This was the case with the new generation of Soundpeats clip-on earbuds, the UU2, which has added some real value.

The latest iteration of the earbuds still has all the great features of the original Pop Clip, with some handy additions like better battery life.

What's more, the UU2 has launched with exclusive vouchers that bring the price down to $34.99.

Better battery life

The UU2 has a better battery, with an extra two hours of listening time.

There's a lot more stored in the UU2 case, as well. The older Pop Clip held 22 hours, while the newer version offers a whopping 42 hours.

Plus, you only need to put the buds back in the case for 10 minutes to charge up for another two hours of playback—perfect if your audiobook is getting juicy.

Continued comfort

I find a lot of earbuds uncomfortable.

Big over-ear models make my ears too hot, while rubber-tipped buds go too deep into my ear canal and make my ears feel itchy.

I have no such trouble with these earbuds.

The UU2 is designed to sit snugly at the entrance of your ears and project sounds into them while being held in place by the clip feature.

Perfect for walking

There are three features I look for when choosing walking headphones:

• No noise-cancelling (or the ability to turn it off)
• Secure fit
• Physical buttons

When I'm walking, I need to be aware of my surroundings.

This is especially true when walking my dog around busy roads or when I'm in a rural spot where she might hear something she wants to chase.

The UU2 filters wind noise and muffles the sounds from your surroundings without fully removing them.

This means you can still hear cars and other potential dangers.

I also don't want to knock my earbuds out while tucking my hair behind my ears or raising my arms.

These earbuds are super secure and only come off when I deliberately unclip them.

They're even burpee-proof, making them great for the gym!

Finally, the physical buttons mean you can't accidentally change the volume or hang up on a caller.

A light brush with a finger won't inadvertently give the buds a command—so no more disconnecting from your mom mid-sentence

I love comfy walking shoes and even more so when they don't put a strain on my wallet.

My favorite budget-friendly walking shoe, the Columbia Konos TRS, ticks all my boxes.

It's durable, bouncy and suitable for walking on the sidewalk or on the trail.

What's more, you can currently get it for up to 47% off at Amazon.

The Columbia Konos TRS sits comfortably at the crossroads between high quality and low price.

It plays with the big boys in terms of comfort and durability, feeling akin to other, more expensive offerings from Brooks, Nike and Hoka underfoot.

The thing that stood out most for me during testing was the Konos' ability to adapt to any environment.

It's bouncy enough to wear on hard asphalt and sturdy enough to take on more rugged terrain. Through all my testing, my feet stayed cool, comfortable, and blister-free.

This summer I've also been testing the sandal version of this shoe, the Konos 2 strap, which is great for hotter days on and off the trail.

That's also discounted by 22% if you're looking for a walking sandal.

Hoka doesn't just make shoes—the company makes fantastic apparel as well.

I've rounded up the best of the Hoka sale section, with great deals on sneakers and clothes.

You can currently get up to 37% off men's, women's and all-gender picks, from top-rated shoes to summer essentials.

I've chosen items with good stock levels and decent discounts to save you the scroll.

Hoka members also get an extra $20 off when they spend $150 or more, but not for long! This bonus deal expires at midnight.

Lululemon's We Made Too Much section is always worth a look if you're in the market for new sportswear.

Lululemon doesn't just make yoga clothing, but has a range of comfortable pieces for everything from running to lounging. All made with the signature Lululemon comfort built in.

However, the We Made Too Much section can be difficult to sift through. Sometimes discounts look great when you're browsing, but when you look more closely, there will only be one size left in stock.

With this in mind, I've rounded up the best of the Lululemon sale for you below, and I've made sure all my picks still have plenty of stock.

But hurry, most of it is on final sale and won't be available for long!

Not only are Skechers walking shoes bouncy and well-cushioned underfoot, but they’re also remarkably budget-friendly.

Even without a discount, a top-of-the-line Skechers shoe will usually be priced under $150.

When you add in the regular sales the brand enjoys, it's the only contender if you're trying to spend less.

You can currently get the men's Skechers Aero Spark Hands-Free Slip-In for a whopping 52% off and the women's shoe for 56% off.

I tested the Aero Spark Hands-Free Slip-In in late 2025, just after it was released.

I expect comfort from Skechers, but this shoe is on another level entirely.

It's suitable for both running and walking, with great energy return and well-cushioned soles that carry you comfortably with every step.

Plus, the toe box of the Aero Spark leaves plenty of space for wider feet (and minor bunions), without swamping your foot.

I have a bunion on one foot and not the other and this means it can be difficult to find shoes that fit both feet properly, without rubbing.

This shoe ticks all my boxes and then some and you should absolutely take the opportunity to get your own pair while they're this cheap!

It’s my job to find comfy walking shoes at an excellent price and one shoe that I'll always highlight when I see it is the Nike Pegasus.

I tested the Pegasus 41 last year and it made it into my comfort hall of fame for its bouncy soles and soft, luxurious-feeling upper.

The next generation is out, so I’d expect to see reductions, but the deal on the women's pair on Amazon is out of this world—it’s just $79.68.

When I tested the Pegasus 41, I was pleased to find that they were springy underfoot and still had that classic Nike look I love.

They are well ventilated, which makes them great for all sorts of sport and even on a long walk on a hot day, my feet didn't get overly sweaty.

I rated them a 4.5 out of 5 stars when I tested them. They only lose half a star because the regular fit can be slightly snug. However, there are several width options available.

I’ve tried all sorts of workouts over the years. There was a time when I was doing CrossFit five times a week, another period when I’d do at-home yoga every day courtesy of Yoga With Adriene, and now I’m more into Pilates and low-impact training.

This also means that I’ve tried a lot of activewear for different types of movement, not to mention that I also review it as part of my job.

Unfortunately, more often than not, the most expensive pieces are also the best quality.

However, there's one affordable brand that always delivers on quality and rivals high-end activewear brands: Oner Active.

Founded by personal trainer and entrepreneur Krissy Cela in 2020, Oner Active’s pieces were originally designed with strength training in mind. It’s since expanded to launch collections for running, Pilates and lounging.

Oner Active has just launched its summer sale, with discounts on some of its most popular styles.

I’ve reviewed a wide range of its products over the years, from leggings to sports bras, shorts and loungewear. Below are the pieces I think are worth picking up in the sale.

I've seen some great deals this Amazon Prime Day, but this 57% off Skechers deal takes the crown as the best.

I tested the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 in 2025 and still wear my (now quite battered) pair to walk my dog.

This comfy Skechers walking shoe was my top pick for most of 2025 (replaced by the more recently released Aero Spark).

If you want a high-quality shoe for a budget-friendly price, it's always worth checking out last season's Skechers.

The longer they’re out, the cheaper they get and the more significant the discount they enjoy over sales events like Prime Day.

While I love the Aero Spark (which is also discounted by up to 53% at the moment), it is still a new-ish release, so the list price is a higher than the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0.

You may expect a $56 shoe to fall apart almost immediately, but my pair is still in play over a year later.

They aren't the cleanest, but they are still comfortable, which goes to show how durable they are. It's a small investment, but a good one.

Prime Day can feel a little overwhelming at times, especially if you're not sure what to buy.

The Fit&Well team is hard at work throughout the event, looking for the best deals and helping our readers cut through the noise.

With swathes of fake reviews, dishonest pricing and low-quality products out there, it’s difficult to work out whether or not something is worth your hard-earned cash.

With that in mind, here are some items the team has tried, tested and can't stop shouting about. We love them and use them ourselves (sometimes every day).

Our loved ones are probably bored of hearing about them, but these nine products have legitimately improved our lives. Could they improve yours too?

1. Walking pad

Benefits: Improved posture, less backache, improved focus

Walking pads have never been more popular and quite a few models are discounted in the Prime Day Sale.

Fitness writer Elliot Harnell recommends the folding C2 Walking Pad, which helped her to hit at least 8,000 steps a day while working —a remarkable increase of 7,000 a day).

It's foldable, so it will neatly tuck away out of sight when not in use, and it means those hours you sink into your job don't have to be spent being sedentary.

Read more: I've walked 8,000 steps every day for a year using an under desk treadmill—and it's one of the best things I've done for my health

2. Wobble board

Benefits: Improved balance, better coordination

Maddy Biddulph is a certified trainer as well as a regular writer for Fit&Well, and has struggled with balance exercises her whole life, despite using them often with her clients.

After challenging herself to use a wobble board for one month, she improved her balance and noticed that her posture and core strength got better, too.

She went from struggling to stay upright when simply standing on the board to doing single-leg exercises and squats on it in just a month.

Read more: I tried using a wobble board for a month and couldn't believe the results

3. Abs roller

Benefits: Stronger core

I am an ab-wheel convert after using one for a month and seeing a dramatic increase in my core strength.

It offers an effective way to engage your core using just your bodyweight and momentum. If you’re sick of endless crunches, slow progress or a weak core, this is the solution.

Read more: I used an ab roller every day for a month, and my core is stronger than ever

4. Acupressure mat

Benefits: Better sleep, full-body relaxation

This one might look a bit scary, but after just 20-minutes of lying on it, writer Samantha Lewis says, "I've never felt so relaxed."

She used it every day for a week and it became a permanent part of her bedtime routine, leaving her deeply relaxed and ready to sleep after each use.

Read more: I tried an acupressure mat every day for a week—here's what I found

5. Gymproluxe Resistance Band Set

Benefits: lightweight, portable and offers a surprisingly challenging workout

Writer Maddy Bidulph loves the Gymproluxe for outdoor workouts in particular. When she tested the set for 30 days, it quickly became her favorite piece of home workout equipment.

If you lift weights, you might be surprised at what an effective alternative this is. The band tops out at 200lb (90kg) of resistance—lots more than you get out of a traditional resistance band.

Read more: I tried using the Gymproluxe resistance band set for 30 days and it’s my new favorite piece of equipment for home workouts

6. BCAN trampoline

Benefits: improved mental health, great cardio

You can tell by the look on writer Kat Storr’s face that she enjoyed her two weeks testing an adult trampoline.

If you want a low-impact cardio workout, this is highly effective. Storr says in all her years as a trainer, her calves have never burned so much, even when only doing 10 minutes a day.

Read more: I used an adult trampoline for two weeks and it brightened up my winter

7. OPPSDECOR Weights Bench

Benefits: improved posture, unlocks certain exercises and great for exercisers who can’t get up from the floor.

Despite being a personal trainer, writer Maddy Bidulph isn't big on the gym. When she tried this weight bench for 30 days, she realized it was what her home gym setup had been missing.

It gives her a stable surface to exercise on and the option to work out at an incline has improved her posture and helped her access a greater range of motion for her chest presses.

If you don't trust our review (at just $30, there's got to be a catch, right?) Amazon customers rate it a 4.6 out of 5 stars, too.

Read more: I tried using a weights bench for 30 days and it’s the piece of equipment I didn’t know I needed—here’s why

8. GORUCK Weighted Vest

Benefit: increases exercise intensity.

When Maddy Bidulph wore a weighted vest for a month, she wasn't expecting it to be quite such an intense experience, particularly when running.

She used it to add extra challenge to HIIT workouts, level up bodyweight exercises, and wore it around the house, on walks and on runs to burn extra calories.

Read more: I tried wearing a weighted vest for a month—here’s why I recommend it

9. Bosu ball

Benefits: great for core workouts, challenges balance and stability.

Fitness editor and certified personal trainer Yanar Alkayat had a Bosu ball languishing under her couch for years until a back injury gave her a reason to pull it out. Now it's her go-to for core workouts.

The instability of the ball challenges the deep core muscles you use for balance. You can also use it to add height and support to several other exercises.

Read more: I’ve finally started using this underrated piece of kit and it’s transformed my core workouts

Some days, I look at my vast collection of high heels, shake my head at the things my younger self put her feet through and happily slip on a pair of Skechers instead.

Skechers make comfy walking shoes for reasonable prices, so I'm always pleased to see them for sale at a discount.

For Prime Day, the Aero Spark (my all-time favorite) now enjoys up to 53% off the men's shoe and 47% off the women's.

I may go on about comfort, but I have a bunion so it’s of paramount importance to me.

The toe box of the Aero Spark leaves plenty of space for wider feet (and minor bunions), without swamping your foot.

My midfoot and heel are narrow in comparison to my toes, so I tend to have issues with rubbing. Not so with this shoe.

On top of the generous footprint, they are bouncy underfoot and have soft, well-ventilated uppers.

Amazon Prime Day is here again and there are some truly eye-catching deals to be found if you know where to look.

We know you don't have the time to scroll through every single discount, so we've put Fit&Well's expert deal hunters on the case for you.

We've just found our first gem: this Under Armour gym shoe is down to $26.99 from $90. That's a whopping 70% off!

I don't usually expect to see deals this good so early on in the event, and I'd wager this will sell out fast.

With a 4.7 out of 5 star rating, customers love it. It even has 83% of reviewers giving it the full complement of five stars.

They are part of the Under Armour Project Rock range (endorsed by everyone's favorite rock, Dwayne Johnson) and perfect for gym workouts, high-intensity interval training and more.

Amazon buyers love that they are lightweight, breathable and comfortable enough to wear all day if you want to.

You won't have to change your shoes as you change activity: you can go from running to walking or cycling and lifting seamlessly thanks to the versatile design.

They are stable enough to deadlift in and grippy enough to take on a slippery squash court.

Despite being designed for athletic endeavours, reviewers mention that the shoe is comfortable enough to wear to work (in a hospital, no less) and durable enough to keep up with an active teenager.

"Didn’t even need breaking in," says one happy customer. "Just straight from box to chaos."

If that isn't enough to convince you, there are free returns too, so if you hate them, Amazon has you covered.
