Pilates is a mat-based workout that you can do without any equipment. But as someone who has been practicing this type of workout for years, adding some apparatus to my at-home routines really leveled things up.

It not only keeps things interesting, as it means you can do a wider variety of exercises, but Pilates equipment can also make your workouts more challenging and help you progress more quickly.

On the other hand, some Pilates gear will help you modify movements, which means it's a worthwhile investment for beginners looking to ease themselves into working out.

If you want to get started with Pilates workouts or you’re looking to upgrade your existing practice, you’re in luck because there’s a range of equipment on sale for Amazon Prime Day.

I’ve picked some products below based on the types of equipment I actually use during my at-home workouts.

The best Pilates deals this Amazon Prime Day

I am a long-time Adidas fan. I was ecstatic when my parents bought me my first (of many) Gazelle trainers in the ’90s, and soon after I added the legendary Firebird track pants to my collection as well as the zip-up Firebird track jacket.

Now I’m a personal trainer, I wear the brand’s activewear for actual exercise, and I rate it now as much as I did then.

Given the quality of its pieces, I couldn’t believe some of the discounts I found in the Amazon Prime Day sale. There’s a skort with a huge 77% off. Some of the best sports leggings I’ve ever tested—high-waisted, tight enough to keep everything smooth and streamlined, and squat-proof, too—are 48% off.

Plus, a classic retro track jacket is 36% off, and trainers with a platform sole and a gorgeous metallic rose-gold finish are 27% off.

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.

Prime Day has come not a moment too soon, with some fantastic Prime Day walking sandals deals.

Summer hikes can get uncomfortable, particularly if you're wearing heavy boots, so it's important to get the right footwear for the job.

I test sandals for my best walking shoe guide and my current top pick, the Keen Hyperport H2, is discounted by up to 29%.

Not only is the Hyperport comfortable and supportive, but it also works as a water shoe.

If you're walking on the beach or along a waterway, you don't need to worry about taking your shoes off to carry them. With the Hyperport, you can stroll right in.

They dry off remarkably quickly and the enclosed toe and high sides keep your feet safe from spiky rocks uneven terrain.

More prime day sandals deals

Here are some more Prime Day picks, featuring the Columbia Konos 2 Strap, which I’m currently testing and may replace the Keen Hyperport in the guide as my favorite sandal.

On my 31st birthday, my partner took me to an amusement arcade for the first time in my life.

Arcades have never appealed to me, but I surprised myself and had great fun.

Not only that, I left dripping with sweat, having done an accidental cardio workout playing whack-a-mole.

It turns out I am very motivated by gamification and this has changed the way I approach fitness, too.

This Amazon Prime Day (officially starting tomorrow), I have been on the lookout for discounts on fun ways to train.

I've found some great options, all inspired by arcade games.

If, like me, you need an element of novelty to really lock in for a workout, the below Prime Day deals might be perfect for you.

If you're on the hunt for a waterproof walking shoe for the colder months, I've got you covered.

The Columbia Konos TRS Outdry Mid is reduced by 36% for the Prime Big Deal Days sale, a saving of nearly $50.

While I haven't tested this exact shoe, its low-rise sibling—the Konos TRS (also reduced by 42% for the Amazon Prime Sale)—is my top budget-friendly pick for my best walking shoe guide.

The Outdry denotes a waterproof upper, and the mid-rise collar offers more protection from wind, rain and anything else you might come across on the trail.

Prime Big Deal Days discounts are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you want to take advantage of a particular deal.

With fall underway and winter coming into view, this is a great opportunity to get set for wet weather, especially since post-summer I’d expect to see sandals reduced and waterproof shoes at full price.

The RRP of the Outdry Mid is $30 higher than the standard Konos TRS, but still very affordable, coming in well under the $150 mark. With this discount on top, prices start at just over $80 (although you may have to dig through the various sizes and colorways to find your match).

What I like the most is that the Konos TRS doesn’t feel like a cheap shoe—it’s comfortable and proved to be durable for me.

I've been scouring the Prime Big Deal Days sales for the best deals and think I've found a winner—52% off a top-rated Amazon best seller.

This acupressure mat from the yoga and Pilates brand ProsourceFit is only $14.49 today.

When deals are this good, they don't last long, so make sure you add to cart and check out well before midnight when the sale ends.

Event discounts are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you see something that really tickles your fancy.

If you're not sure about accupressure or worry the spikes will be painful, my colleague explains that it isn’t “painful in the slightest.”

As for her results, she says it helped her achieve restful sleep and she made it a daily ritual to experience the same deep relaxation her first session gave her.

These mats stimulate pressure points along the body, much as an acupuncturist would with needles, and help release muscle tension and boost your circulation. This can help with post-workout recovery or aid with stress management.

As for this particular mat, more than 51,000 Amazon customers have rated it, giving it an overall score of 4.2 out of 5 stars. It is also Amazon's number one bestselling acupuncture product.

If you need some good quality shoes, but can't stretch your budget for some Brooks or Hokas, this hybrid pair from Columbia might be the right fit for you.

What's more, some pairs are reduced for Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deals Day sale, with prices as low as $58.12 in some sizes and styles.

These deals are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you’re not a member already. Just don't forget to cancel before the 30 days are up.

This is my top budget-friendly pick for my best walking shoe guide. With an RRP of $100, it’s already half the price of some of the top-of-the-line offerings from big sportswear brands, and with this 42% discount, it’s even more affordable.

Often, shoes designed for trail walking are quite heavy and chunky underfoot, but these don’t fall into that trap. They remain lightweight and well-ventilated despite being designed for off-roading.

Plus, the soles are bouncy with great energy return, meaning it's comfortable underfoot on concrete, too.

I haven’t set foot in a gym since the COVID-19 pandemic, relying on home workout equipment to keep me fit.

However, now I'm moving house and with a gym within walking distance at my new place, I'm finally getting ready to go back.

Part of that process has been making a shopping list for all the things I'll need, and as it's Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deal Days sale, I've found some handy discounts on some of my essentials.

The discounts are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you’re not a member already.

If you're heading back to the gym after a hiatus, or just looking for some cheap essentials, read on.

Skechers make some of the best walking shoes for wide feet, and with Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale, there's hardly a better time to get yourself a pair.

There are multiple Prime Day deals on Skechers, with some of my tried-and-tested favorites discounted by up to $40.

As with many things on Amazon, finding your size can be tricky, and there may not be quite the deal you were looking for in the colorway you wanted, but if you flick through the options, you might get lucky.

Shop all Skechers deals at Amazonor scroll down to see the discounts on the shoes I still wear myself.

If I haven't convinced you with my selection, remember you can check out all the Skechers deals at Amazon, with some prices slipping under the $20 mark.

I was lucky enough to test the Hoka Clifton 10 earlier this year and was blown away by how comfortable it was underfoot.

I don’t often award the shoes I test for my walking shoe guide with the honor of five out of five stars, but this shoe deserves it. It is lightweight, yet well cushioned, well ventilated and ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and support.

I tested the Clifton 9, too, and the Clifton 10 improved even further on an already great design.

What's more, you can find some pairs reduced for Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deals Day sale, with discounts on certain sizes and styles.

These deals are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you’re not a member already.

The Clifton is a road running shoe that is versatile enough to be worn as a walking shoe as well.

If you work on your feet all day or need something comfortable to explore a new city, the Clifton nails the brief. The bouncy midsole will keep your feet happy even after hours of paved hills.

Long flight? You'll be comfortable in the air and also able to get straight to exploring once you arrive, without changing your footwear.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the gyms closed, many of us rushed to Amazon to buy home workout equipment. I was one of the many and bought my first set of kettlebells in 2020.

To my surprise, I've still not gone back to the gym five years later. Over that time, I’ve invested in some really effective equipment to use at home instead, which I've rounded up for you below.

It’s Amazon’s annual Prime Big Deal Days sale, so there are some great discounts to be found on all my favorites, from budget-friendly folding bikes to core sliders under $10.

The discounts are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you’re not a member already.

Prime Day fitness deals

Cast iron kettlebells are the best kind of kettlebells, in my opinion. The handles are slim enough for my small hands, they're compact and easy to store, and I'm a sucker for the matte black finish.

In our guide to the best kettlebells, the best budget option is made by Amazon Basics, but this model doesn't have much of a discount for Prime Day.

Luckily, the cast iron Yes4All kettlebell is reduced by 35% for Prime Day, and it's just as good.

I use my 35lb kettlebell for a range of exercises. It's currently my go-to for split squats, high-rep goblet squats and adding extra weight to my crunches.

You can also use a kettlebell like this one to do a kettlebell swing, which is a brilliant compound move that strengthens your posterior chain (the muscles along the back of your body) and gets your heart rate up.

85% of Amazon customers gave this kettlebell five out of five stars, and it has an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5, with over 8,500 total reviews.

If you want something much heavier, you can also get a whopping 47% off the 80lb kettlebell, which is only $80.81 right now.

There’s so much fancy workout equipment out there, it’s difficult to know what’s actually worth investing in. And because I live in a fairly small apartment with minimal storage, I need to be careful with what I put in my space—a rowing machine is just not going to work.

That’s why I was so keen to try out Pilates sliders when I first heard about them a few months ago. They’re small, thin discs that allow you to glide across the floor during a variety of movements, adding an extra challenge to workouts.

I’ve been using sliders for about three months now and I’d recommend them in a heartbeat. Having tried a variety of Pilates kit, sliders are the one piece of equipment that I think is most effective at increasing the difficulty of workouts—other than a reformer, which isn’t exactly a practical or affordable investment.

Plus, they’re so easy to store and travel with—I never go on vacation without them.

They’re always affordable (own these BetterMe sliders), but right now, you can get highly-rated Pilates sliders for less than $10 in the Amazon Prime Day sale—a bargain given how much they can upgrade your home workouts.

Why I recommend Pilates sliders

The main reason I love Pilates sliders is that they add an element of instability to your movement.

I’ve been strength training for years and learned how to effectively build muscle and progressed to lift heavier weights. But there are two things I’ve always struggled with—an ongoing knee injury, which frequently causes me trouble and a lack of core strength.

When I started using sliders to incorporate stability elements into my workouts, alongside strength-building, I noticed improvements in my core strength and I felt less pain around my knee and became less injury-prone.

Being able to lift heavy weights is one thing, but moving with control and confidence is another. Using Pilates sliders forced me to move with control and use the stabilising muscles which are often neglected during traditional strength training.

Developing stability is really helpful for injury prevention, particularly around sensitive joints like the knees and shoulders, and working out with Pilates sliders has helped me build strength and stability in those areas.

This instability also forces the core to switch on. Core activation is something I’ve struggled with over the years, particularly with functional, full-body exercises.

I’d feel my core muscles burning during exercises that isolate the abdominal muscles like sit-ups or crunches, but not during squats and deadlifts, where the core should be playing a big role in supporting that movement.

When doing exercises with sliders, the core has to switch on to help you balance and move through the movement with control, which has significantly improved my core strength.

I think sliders are one of the best pieces of workout kit out there, particularly if you workout at home and don't want to invest in expensive and bulky pieces of equipment.

I'm a fitness writer and I love a bargain, so I've been trawling the Prime Day sales for fitness deals under $20.

These are all products I own and recommend, or want to buy for myself, and—most importantly—they're all under $20.

The discounts are only available to Prime members, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you’re not a member already.

Prime Day fitness deals under $20

The Nike Metcon has been my go-to lifting shoe ever since it burst onto the cross-training footwear scene nearly a decade ago.

Lightweight and flexible for short sprints and gymnastics, but stable and robust when you need to be anchored to the floor for lower-body lifts, its versatility was its calling card, matching the varied and functional way people were starting to exercise.

I was firmly onboard this bandwagon at the start, donning the original Metcons whenever lifting in the gym or at home. And I've held on for the ride since, with the dependable Metcon 6 shoe serving me especially well for the past couple of years.

The latest iteration is the Metcon 9, featuring a larger non-compressible foot plate to provide added stability for squats, wall balls and deadlifts.

To commemorate this milestone birthday, Nike is also re-releasing the iconic Metcon 1 OG, my first taste of the Metcon range.

A collector’s item, these will set you back $155 while stocks last. Since you’re saving on the latest version with all its technical upgrades, I wouldn’t blame you if you chose to splurge.

My absolute favorite Skechers shoe, the Max Cushioning Elite Speed Play 2.0, is enjoying a Prime Day discount, bringing its price well under $70.

This shoe features in my guide to the best walking shoes and is the best all-rounder of the five Skechers shoes I’ve tried.

The quality of this shoe is on par with some of the more expensive offerings from the likes of Brooks and Hoka, but the lower price keeps it in reach of people on a tighter budget, or those who just like great value.

When I tested the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0, I was impressed by the level of cushioning and bounce. The well-stacked sole provides a cloud-like experience with every step, with great energy return and a soft insole for maximum comfort.

It’s also lightweight and breathable, making it a great choice for summer wear, travel and touring.

It’s been a little over a year since I first put these shoes on and they’re still going strong. The sole has some wear and the light color picks up the dirt, but a quick wipe with a wet wipe or some dish soap works wonders.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re looking for workout equipment. There are hundreds of weights to choose from, along with endless options for workout clothes and gym shoes.

I’ve been a fitness editor for three and a half years, so I’ve spent a lot of time talking to other fitness enthusiasts about their favorite equipment and commissioning them to write about it.

All of the picks below have stood out to me as things that have legitimately changed our writers’ lives for the better and helped them improve their health and fitness.

As a bonus, most of these things are currently on sale for Amazon Prime Day.

While you have to be a member of Prime to take advantage of these prices, you can get a 30-day free trial to the platform.

1. Medicine ball

Buy it if: You want to get stronger.

Writer Maddy Biddulph set herself a challenge to do wall balls for 30 days, throwing a medicine ball high up against a wall, squatting down to catch it, then standing up to repeat for several minutes.

When the month was up, not only had she strengthened her core muscles, but she found that her coordination had improved along with her hip mobility.

2. Suspension trainer

Buy it if: You want to make home workouts more challenging (and fun!).

Suspension trainers are basically a two long straps with handles on the ends, which you can hook over your door.

Run coach Amber Nelson swears by suspension trainers for helping her do single-leg exercises, using the straps to stabilize one leg while she works out the other.

Trainer Jennifer Rizzuto uses her suspension trainer to get a full-body workout, incorporating it into moves like squats, lunges, rows and push-ups.

They’re incredibly versatile, easy to store and—crucially—a lot of fun to use.

3. Weighted vest

Buy it if: You want to turn household chores into a workout.

Maddy Biddulph took on another challenge earlier this year when she decided to wear a weighted vest for a month.

She found that it was an easy way to add intensity to her everyday tasks, like clearing away dishes and doing the laundry, turning these activities into mini workouts.

She also wore it for her usual exercise sessions and found it helped her engage and strengthen her core.

It’s a good idea to start with a lightweight vest and scale up, which is why we like the adjustable option from Amazon.

4. Exercise sliders

Buy it if: You want to replicate reformer Pilates at home.

Writer Alice Porter has found a clever way to replicate reformer Pilates sessions at home with exercise sliders.

These simple plastic discs allow you to glide your hands or feet over the floor during exercises, while you try and hold the rest of your body stable.

At less than $6, sliders are a lot cheaper than an in-person reformer class, and they will still give you an intense workout that challenges your core strength and control.

5. Walking pad

Having a desk job can mean a lot of sitting, but writer Elliott Harnell manages to walk 8,000 steps a day in her home office, thanks to her Walking Pad.

Before getting the pad, she had struggled to get her steps in, but now she conducts video meetings and types while walking on this under-desk treadmill.

As a result, she has more energy and her back feels less tight and achy at the end of the day.

You might be surprised to find that when walking, the last thing I want from my earbuds is any kind of noise cancellation.

I need to be able to engage with my environment and safely cross roads and navigate potential triggers for my reactive dog.

The most important thing I look for in earbuds is that they stay in my ears, even if I'm stomping, climbing or jumping.

I finally found my ideal match when I tested out the Soundpeats Pop Clip earbuds early this year.

They're everything I want from my headphones and more, and they're now cheaper than ever, with nearly 30% off in the Amazon Prime Day sales.

You can read more about why I love the Soundpeats Pop Clip for more details on how I tested and what I thought of these walking earbuds, or go and buy your own pair before they all sell out.

I prefer the design of a lot of older-generation technology (I own and use a Bush radio that is older than I am), and firmly believe that physical buttons are the way to go.

I've used several touch-sensitive Bluetooth earbuds and find they're impractical when taking calls—you can accidentally ramp the volume up too high just by tucking hair behind your ear.

I had no such issues with the Pop Clip. The physical buttons mean these accidents just don't happen, and while you can still alter volume and navigate a call with the buds, you have to press buttons to do so.

While I long for a return to the days of wired earbuds, these earbuds offer a secure alternative, with a steady Bluetooth connection.

They don't have noise-cancelling qualities, but do feature wind-reduction in the design, so calls are clear even on blustery days.

Ever since I started picking up dumbbells in my youth, rubber-headed, hex-shaped dumbbells have been the gold standard.

But don’t just take my word for it. Leading trainers for top CrossFit athletes and Hollywood actors swear by hex dumbbells too.

A set of 25lb hex dumbbells should serve as a good starting point for any beginner: light enough for upper-body exercises while heavy enough to challenge the larger, stronger lower-body muscles. It’s all you need to tackle this four-week beginner workout plan.

And now is the time to strike if you’re looking to upgrade your home gym.

If you’re slightly more accustomed to strength training, a pair of 35lb hex dumbbells is the sweet spot that has sustained my home workouts for the past five years.

And in the Prime Day sale you can get hold of a CAP Barbell set for $64.99—a 16% saving and a snip compared with the inflated price I paid for a pair at the height of the pandemic.

Why I recommend hex dumbbells

Hex dumbbells nail the three attributes I look for in dumbbells, whether working out at home or in the gym. They are robust, stable and offer ample grip without ripping your palms apart.

The hexagonal shape ensures the weights stay put for floor-based exercises like renegade rows and weighted burpees, and won’t roll away like round-headed alternatives.

The rubber padding will protect your floor—or toes—from regular use, and won’t crack or chip either.

And the slightly knurled and convex design of the handle, I’ve found, sits comfortably in the hand no matter if it’s your first rep or 50th.

The Allbirds Tree Dasher 2 is a great sneaker for those who don’t like traditional training shoes.

It manages to look good with everyday outfits and workout clothes, which is a rarity.

One of my few criticisms of the shoe when I tested it was the cost, but thanks to the 50% discount available on Amazon, it’s much more reasonable now at just $67.

You’ll want to act quickly, though, as there are limited sizes and colorways available at that price.

I found the Tree Dasher 2 incredibly comfy when testing, wearing it quite happily for most of the day.

The shoe’s breathable mesh upper and low-profile rubber outsole provided adequate stability for low-impact activities.

It held up nicely during a treadmill walk and a round of light resistance training, and I didn’t have to bring a separate pair of shoes for my post-gym brunch date. I liked having a sleeker shoe that was plush and stable, that I could pair with gym leggings or jeans if needed.

It's not a great choice for HIIT workouts, because the flexible mesh doesn’t provide a lot of ankle stability, and I could only jog about a mile in the shoe before I had to switch to my normal running shoes.

If you want something for higher-intensity exercise, I’d opt for the Reebok Nano X5, which is currently discounted by 30% in the Prime Day sales.

This has a lot of stability, so you might not find it as comfy for everyday wear, but it will certainly keep your foot in place when you're doing explosive movements.

I bought my first ab wheel in 2023 and was blown away by how effective it is. If you struggle with your core strength, it offers a convenient way to train using your body weight as a source of resistance.

Fit&Well staff have reviewed a few different brands over the years, and one of our top picks of the best ab rollers, the Ab Carver Pro, has just gone on sale for Amazon Prime Day. Usually $44.99, it’s now down to $33.74.

Amazon Prime Day runs from July 8 until July 11, coinciding with several other sales events from the likes of Target and Walmart.

If you want a more budget-friendly option, there is also a 41% reduction on the Vinsguir ab wheel, bringing it under the $15 mark.

The Ab Carver Pro is particularly good for beginners due to its internal spring mechanism, which adds resistance on the rollout and assistance on the rollback.

If you already know how to use an ab roller, you know that these features add control to each roll, which beginners often need while building up their core strength.

Amazon reviews score it 4.6 out of 5 stars, which is an increase from when we first tested and reviewed it in 2022. In 2022, 70% of customers gave it a full 5 stars, and that figure is now 77%, so you can rest easy in the knowledge that most of the people who have bought it have loved it!

For years, I struggled to grip kettlebells because of my slick, sweaty palms, and my weak wrists left me unable to complete certain movements. But my discovery of fitness gloves changed that, and it’s not an overstatement to say they changed the course of my fitness journey.

As well as improving grip and providing support, fitness gloves protect your palms from calluses, too.

My exact pair (now very elderly) is discontinued, but you can get some almost identical gloves in the early Amazon Prime Day sale, with a 20% discount.

Amazon Prime Day officially starts tomorrow, Tuesday, July 8, but there are discounts going live already. Deals are available to Prime members only (but you can get a 30-day free trial to access these deals.

I initially purchased my gloves because I was fed up with the feeling of sore hands and wrists.

My hands are small and I find that the handles and horns of many kettlebells (particularly plastic ones) are too wide for me to grip securely.

This limited my progress, as I was always worried about dropping heavier kettlebells on my toes, or worse, when doing skull crushers—my face.

Plus, while the rest of my body is stronger and more muscular, my wrists remain the same size as they were when I was 12 years old. My pinky finger and thumb overlap when I wrap them around my wrist and the joints crack and pop even doing day-to-day tasks like brushing my teeth.

Once I started lifting heavier, it became clear that I needed a little extra support around this area.

The gloves have fixed both issues. My hands no longer ache from a lack of purchase on the bar, and my wrists feel secure when working out.

I can’t recommend them enough. For such a small amount of money, they made a big difference to me.

Amazon Basics is my favorite affordable brand for fitness equipment. It makes high-quality, budget-friendly gear that means you can build your home gym for less than the cost of a monthly membership at a boutique gym.

Amazon Prime Day is rapidly approaching, with the event officially starting on Tuesday July 8, but there are discounts going live already.

I've pulled together a list of the best discounts available right now below. They are all limited deals available to Prime members only (you can get a 30-day free trial if you’re not a member already), with between 18% and 50% already claimed at the time of writing.

It’s unlikely they will still be live come Prime Day proper, so it’s worth buying now if you see a deal on an item you’ve been considering.

I’m an ab wheel convert, and always have an eye out for a deal on one of our tried-and-tested recommendations. With Amazon Prime Day approaching on July 8, I’ve been on the lookout for early deals, and this 41% reduction on an ab wheel caught my attention.

Ab rollers are a great way to strengthen the deep muscles of your core, as well as the superficial abdominals (the ones you can see).

The wide wheel on this particular wheel offers superior support, meaning you’re less likely to topple or injure yourself when rolling out. If you’re a beginner, this is an important factor to consider, because the slimmer ab wheels require more control to use.

If you're not sure how to use an ab roller, taking a quick crash course with some YouTube tutorials is advisable, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s a breeze.

I first started using mine in 2023 and was blown away by how quickly I saw and felt the difference, particularly down the sides of my abs. I suddenly had oblique definition, something I'd never achieved before.

Plus, the improved core strength from regular ab wheel use helped me to lift heavier weights when squatting, deadlifting and pressing too.

I test a lot of walking shoes and the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 Speed Play is one of my favorites. It's an affordable option if you're looking for the sort of cushioning and bounce offered by brands like Hoka and New Balance, but don't want the price tag.

The Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 was reduced by 20% on Amazon last week for Big Deal Days (AKA October Prime Day), but now there's an even better discount! The reduction has increased to 24%, bringing them down to $75.69. Hurry though, as there is a limited amount of stock available.

I rated these shoes 4.5/5 stars when I tested them, placing them near the top of my best walking shoe guide and the title of Best from Skechers. I've tested several options from Skechers and the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 is definitely the most durable. It is designed for high energy return, making it a fantastic shoe for walking and running. The miles melt by in these shoes, and I still reach for them for runs and walks over six months after receiving my pair.

In my role as a fitness writer, I test a lot of walking shoes and my main complaint about many of them is that they are water-resistant and not waterproof. The adidas Terrex Free Hiker Low features a Gore-Tex upper that protects your feet from the heaviest rain. While they won't save you if you put your whole leg in a river, I splashed through plenty of puddles during my testing and returned with dry socks every time.

This is the best walking shoe deal I've seen this year, with up to 51% off the women's Terrex Free Hiker Low at Amazon. The October Prime Day event is almost over, so snap up this deal while you have the chance and prepare your wardrobe for winter.

I rated these shoes 4/5 stars, earning them a place near the top of our walking shoe guide. They are heavier than some other shoes in the guide and take a few days to break in, but they are excellent as trail shoes.

They have grippy soles that do well over slippery and uneven terrain and the loops on the heel and tongue of the shoe make them easy to pull on. If you want a plush shoe for walking on concrete, this might not be the best choice, but for going off-road you won't find better at a lower price.

We've found an excellent Amazon Prime Day Peloton deal on the brand's top-of-the-range model, the Peloton Bike+. It's currently available with a very sizable saving of $500—which takes the price to $1,999.99—the cheapest it's been this year and not far off its lowest-ever price of $1995 back in 2023, so this is a great opportunity to invest in this high-end indoor bike.

In our Peloton Bike+ review we gave this cycle trainer five stars, calling it "the top dog of exercise bikes". It comes with a 24-inch HD display which helps to make the on-demand classes with Peloton's instructors even more immersive. Compared with the original Peloton bike (which is also reduced), the screen can swivel around 180° to make it easier to follow the off-bike workouts in the Peloton app.

The build quality of the Peloton Bike+ is excellent, it uses high-grade, powder-coated steel and carbon for the body of the bike which helps to make it super stable. Pedaling resistance comes from a 37.4 lb/ 17kg magnetic flywheel at the front of the bike. You can of course control the level of resistance yourself, but during classes, the bike can automatically manage the resistance for you. The Bike+ has a 3.5mm audio jack and is also compatible with Bluetooth headphones.

As well as the purchase price of the Peloton Bike+, you'll also need to factor in paying a monthly subscription of $24 for unlimited classes.

I test walking shoes for our best walking shoes guide and I've been keeping an eye out for discounts on my favorites this Amazon Prime Day. Shoe deals can be a bit hit-and-miss on Amazon, but I've found deals on my favorite shoes from Hoka, including the shoe in the number one spot in the guide, the Hoka Bondi 8, for both men and women.

How to choose the right shoe for you

Before you buy, consider how much cushioning you want from your walking shoes. I like to have a high level of cushioning in my shoes, to relieve the pressure on my feet when walking. I also like it when this cushioning is cleverly zoned to provide extra comfort where I need it. I am a supinator, meaning i tend to roll my foot outward, and need a neutral shoe. If you are a pronator, and roll your foot inward, you will need to look for a stability shoe, one with plenty of arch support.

You'll also want to think about getting a secure fit, ensuring that both the sole and the rest of your foot are able to move without sliding around inside the shoe. Several companies offer narrow and wide options so you can pick the model that's right for you. You might also want to consider a shoe that doesn't have intrusive seams to avoid chaffing and blisters.

Breathability and weatherproofing are especially important for walking and the ideal shoe design for you will vary depending on your climate. Consider if you need waterproof shoes, more grip to deal with wet pavements, or light, breathable mesh uppers to keep your feet cool in the heat.

We all know how beneficial it is to stay well hydrated. I certainly do. I'm the editor of a health and fitness website that has written about how much water to drink every day after all. Plus, I've done the math prior to running a marathon about exactly how much water I should be drinking on the day and on the days leading up to the race.

And yet, when I tried the Water.io smart water bottle I realized I've been drinking nowhere near enough water. That's why I'll be recommending it in Fit&Well's collection of the best water bottles for the gym, but I'm writing about it now because you can buy Water.io for 44% off in the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale.

The thing I like the most about the Water.IO is that it's easy to use. It took minutes to download the app and pair the bottle with my iPhone and since then the app updates quickly.

The light on the top of the cap flashes a reminder to drink and the bottle can also vibrate—annoying but easily turned off.

The real killer feature though is that you can sync it with the app of your fitness tracker, if you own one, and when you record a workout, your daily goal rises in line with how intense your workout was.

The insulated stainless steel lining also keeps cold water cold, which was a nice change from the lukewarm water I used to drink in the gym.

I also received the carrying handle with my sample and I'd say it's worth buying that as well. It makes it much easier to carry around. There is a discounted bundle available, but it's $10 cheaper to buy the bottle above and the handle separately.

I test a lot of walking shoes for this job and have found that there are several boxes that I need a shoe to tick before I recommend it. The Brooks Glycerin 21 ticks all of them, achieving a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. It has super-soft cushioning underfoot, great energy return from the bouncy sole and a comfortable upper that hugs the foot.

Currently, you can save more than $50 on the women's Brooks Glycerin 21 for Amazon's Big Deals Day sales event. It's worth noting that the deal is only on certain colorways and sizes due to the way Amazon lists shoes.

I've tested a few Brooks shoes and found that I didn't get on so well with the Ghost range, but the Glycerin 21 has none of the issues I experienced with the Ghost 15 and 16. The outsoles have plenty of grip, which is a must for any walking shoe, but particularly for shoes that are designed for use on the road. Slippery wet concrete is no joke!

I would put these shoes on par with the Hoka Clifton 9 and Nike Pegasus 40 for cushioning and bounce. If you like these shoes but are looking for something slightly different at a reduced price, the Brooks Glycerin 21 is a great shoe to choose.

As a fitness writer, I work out a lot at home and I've tested plenty of kettlebells in my time. To save my floors from scuffs and marks, I'll always choose vinyl kettlebells, like this one from Amazon Basics, now with a 22% reduction for Prime Big Deals Day.

I use my Amazon Basics kettlebells to add extra resistance to my goblet squats and glute bridges. The vinyl coating makes these some of the best kettlebells you can buy on a budget, as it makes them tough and slip-resistant. I've set myself up with a decent home gym with a selection of different sizes and have yet to meet an Amazon Basics kettlebell that I don't like.

I often struggle to find kettlebells that suit my small hands, but with the slim handle, they're perfect for dynamic moves like the kettlebell swing and I have no trouble with my grip.

If this isn't the right kettlebell for you, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more reductions throughout this Amazon sales event and writing up the best ones I find.

I'm really fussy about my kettlebells, so I won't recommend something I wouldn't personally use myself. The great thing about the Amazon Basics range is that even at full price, they're an affordable product, but still high-quality. The price of weights tends to increase with the heaviness, so for a 40lb kettlebell like this, a $10 discount is not to be sniffed at.

I test walking shoes for Fit&Well's best walking shoes guide and have been keeping an eye out for discounts on my favorites. I've tested a lot of Skechers shoes, and recently took the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 for a spin. This pair took the crown as my favorite pair of Skechers, stealing the title from the Go Walk 7.

They are currently discounted by up to 32% off on Amazon, depending on the size. I can't recommend these shoes enough. They're a more affordable option than the Hoka Bondi 8 which tops my walking shoe guide, but offer a similar level of comfort and cushioning.

I still reach for my pair of Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 shoes when I'm going for a walk, because I know the bouncy midsole will keep me comfortable no matter how many miles I cover.

Be aware that Skechers shoes tend to run large. You can afford to buy a half-size down compared with your usual size in Hoka or Brooks shoes.

Another advantage of the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 is the durable outsole, which is one of the main reasons I prefer it to the Go Walk 7 as my favorite Skechers shoe. While the Go Walk 7 is delightfully comfortable, the outsole tended to pick up pebbles and it wore down remarkably fast after the initial testing period. If you're looking for a shoe that will last, then the Max Cushioning Elite 2.0 is a better choice.

You don't need a lot of equipment to start exercising, but for just $30 you can get a setup that will see a beginner build muscle all over in a matter of months.

I've been deal-hunting for home workout equipment in Amazon's Prime Day sale for the last 24 hours, but I've yet to come across anything as affordable and effective as this selection of resistance bands and a three-month subscription to Chris Hemsworth's Centr fitness app.

Resistance bands are a great way to start strength training at home because they're more affordable than dumbbells, can be tidied away more easily than dumbbells when not in use and studies have shown resistance bands and weights result in similar strength gains.

The range of resistance bands included in this kit is also impressive. The tubed bands can be used with the handles, ankle straps and anchor to increase the challenge for an impressive range of exercises. Watch this video of Centr trainer Ingrid Clay demonstrating how to use Centr's tubed resistance bands for an idea of what's in store.

And here's Marciris Lapaix showing off what you can do with the fabric bands.

This kit has been replaced by newer bundles, but at its clearance price the original essentials kit offers much better value. For instance, just a set of five tubed bands and app subscription costs $30. This Centr home workout kit includes the fabric bands and adds a bar to be used with the tubed bands, but it's more expensive.

What sets any Centr kit apart is the app subscription, which offers hundreds of workouts for all levels of fitness, as well as progressive training schedules, meal planning and mindfulness routines.

I test walking shoes for our best walking shoes guide and have been keeping an eye out for discounts on my favorites. Of my top nine in the guide, five are currrently discounted for Amazon Prime Day, including the shoe in the number one spot, the Hoka Bondi 8. 

Amazon Prime Day can be a great time to invest in some good footwear, as we often see discounts from big names like Adidas and Brooks. Unfortunately, there won't always be a deal in the size and style you're looking for, so it tends to be a game of Amazon shoe-roulette. 

I've rounded up the deals I've found with the best discounts below. Read on to see how much you can save on walking shoes this Prime Day.

How to choose the right shoe for you

Before you buy, consider how much cushioning you want from your walking shoes. I like to have a really high level of cushioning in my shoes, to relieve the pressure on my feet when walking. I also like it when this cushioning is cleverly zoned to provide extra comfort where I need it. 

Breathability and weatherproofing are especially important for walking and the ideal shoe design for you will vary depending on your climate. Consider if you need waterproof shoes, more grip to deal with wet pavements, or light, breathable mesh uppers to keep your feet cool in the heat.

You'll also want to think about getting a secure fit, ensuring that both the sole and the rest of your foot are able to move without sliding around inside the shoe. Several companies offer narrow and wide options so you can pick the model that's right for you. You might also want to consider a shoe that doesn't have intrusive seams to avoid chaffing and blisters. 

If there's one celebrity who regularly pops up when people are searching for workout inspiration, it's Jennifer Aniston. She's got the kind of toned physique that many people strive for and she's been sharing details of her favorite workouts.

The actress is an ambassador for Pvolve and credits the app with helping her stay fit and strong. She's a big fan of the low-impact, Pilates-inspired classes on the platform, which you can do at home with specialized equipment.

While it's nice to have this insight into the celebrity's workout regime, some of the Pvolve equipment she uses is fairly pricey. So this Prime Day 15% reduction across Pvolve's site and Amazon is very welcome.

Prime Day Pvolve Deals

It's also possible to try the classes completely free without the equipment, as there are several sessions that don't require any gear. You can simply sign-up for a seven day trial, after which you'll automatically start paying the $14.99 fee unless you cancel.

The classes are mostly Pilates-inspired, with a different mix of strength, mobility and cardio. They are all low-impact and designed to help you build functional strength that will translate into everyday activities.

Our writer Lois Mackenzie was a big fan when she tried it, and claimed it turned her into a Pilates convert in her Pvolve review.

If you're looking to get into fitness but don't know where to start, I've rounded up some of the most affordable deals I could find on beginner equipment to help you get set up. 

Dumbbells are an obvious choice for beginners and there are currently discounts on 1lb, 3lb and 5lb options, all coming in under the $15 mark. These light weights will make moves like squats and lunges that little bit more challenging, helping you gradually build strength. Once your dumbbells arrive, try doing this 20-minute full-body dumbbell workout to get started. 

I've also included some resistance bands and ankle/wrist weights, which can boost the effectiveness of a standard workout by adding resistance. If you want to get stronger and improve your muscle tone, try doing a beginner Pilates routine with the ankle weights attached. Or try out a resistance band workout for a quick and beginner-friendly way to get fit.

If you're looking for some heavier equipment, I'm also updating our guide to the best Prime Day kettlebell deals throughout the event with the best discounts I can find from Amazon and other retailers. If dumbells are more your speed, my colleague is rounding up the best prime day weights deals as well. 

I test walking shoes for our best walking shoes guide and have been keeping an eye out for discounts on my favorites. The Skechers GO Walk 7 earned themselves four stars out of five when I tested them earlier this year and I think they make a great casual, stylish shoe, as well as being comfortable enough to be worn all day every day. 

They currently have a 20% discount in the Amazon Prime Day sale, bringing the price down by $15 to $59.99. That makes them almost a better option for bargain hunters than the "best budget" option in the walking shoe guide, the Gola Lansen, which is retailing at $54.19 with no discount. The Skechers Go Walk 7 is a much higher-quality shoe, so you'd be doing your feet a favor by spending an extra $6—getting a lot more cushioning and arch support for your money.

Many of the shoes I test are purpose-built road running shoes, as these seem to be some of the best-designed footwear in terms of cushioning and energy return. However, they tend to be bright, loud, and chunky, which isn't to everyone's tastes. These walking shoes from Skechers have a more understated design to go well with any outfit, while still giving you the comfort and support you need for walking long distances. 

They're easy to get on and off your feet, with tabs at the back of the heel to help pull them on, and the laces slip undone easily when you want to take the shoes off. 

If you've never used an ab wheel, you're missing out. They're a super effective way to train your core and abs, and they're pretty good for your balance too. I got mine a little over 18 months ago, wrote about using an ab roller every day, and have been using it religiously ever since. I've never seen such ab definition on my body, despite years of lifting weights, and it still seems to be changing my body. 

While the ab wheel I use is discontinued, a similar one from our selection of the best ab rollers has a 33% discount for Amazon Prime Day. Already affordable, with a list price of $33.99, snap up this deal and start training your abs more effectively today. You won't regret it! Combined with a full-body kettlebell routine (I use this 50lb cast iron kettlebell from the Amazon Basics range), I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been. 

As I mentioned above, this Vinsguir model was featured in our round-up of the best ab rollers and is a perfect addition to any home gym. My colleague who tested the Vinsguir roller found that the chunky 3.2in wheel worked smoothly for all the classic ab roller moves: pikes, ab rollouts and balance push-ups. I love my ab roller for similar reasons: the chunkiness of the wheel and the non-slip material on the handles, so this is an excellent equivalent. 

It also boasts a healthy 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, with more than 20,000 customer ratings—so it's not just the Fit&Well team who rate it highly.

If you're looking for something a bit more challenging, then Vinsguir offer a "difficult" ab wheel option that is also reduced for Prime Day. Discounted by 15%, you can get the slimmer version of the above wheel for just $11.88 down from $13.99. But be warned: the smaller the wheel, the harder it is to control. That makes for a harder abs workout, but that's not always right for beginners. 

I've tried a few protein powders over the years, but I always come back to one particular brand: Optimum Nutrition (ON). The powder blends into a rich, smooth shake and you can choose from a delicious line-up of flavors including Rocky Road, Cinammon Roll and Double Rich Chocolate

Deals on this protein powder are rare because the brand is so popular and the products are already good value, which is why this 33% discount on the Vanilla Ice Cream 2lb tub is a brilliant find. At just $27.99, it works out as just under $1 per serving.

It's already the best-selling protein powder on Amazon, so you'll have to move quickly to snap up a tub at this discounted price.

Why do I love this protein powder? The truth is a lot of protein powders are very similar, offering slight variations in the amount of protein, calories and fat per serving. Optimum Nutrition is pretty average, offering 24g of protein, 120 calories, 1.5g of fat and 4g of carbs.

What sets ON apart is the smooth consistency and flavor variety. My all-time favorite was Salted Caramel (sadly discontinued, RIP), but all of the variations I've tried have hit the spot. I currently have French Vanilla Crème on my shelf, but I've enjoyed toffee variations in the past too.

It's also always reasonably priced, which is why the company doesn't feel the need to offer discounts very often. If you don't fancy vanilla, you can get the Double Rich Chocolate for $27.99 instead.

I don't wear a Fitbit—I'm a techy fitness editor who likes tracking geeky things like training load—but I love what Fitbit offers. Namely an easy-to-use device and app that keep tabs on the fundamentals and can nudge you towards better habits. For most people that's all they need and want.

For this Prime Day there's one standout deal I'd recommend over everything else, the Fitbit Charge 6 for $99.95. That brings the price down to where it was on Black Friday 2023 and the Charge 6 is the latest Fitbit (except for the Fitbit Ace LTE which is for kids) so it is more closely integrated with Google services such as Google Maps, YouTube and Google Pay.

The Charge 6 doesn't include some of the more advanced health-tracking metrics of Fitbit smartwatches (which are both discounted for Prime Day), but I'm not convinced it's worth paying more for the device and then also committing to pay more every month for Fitbit Premium to access all of the advanced features.

There is one caveat though—I've found the Fitbit Luxe reduced to $98.95 at Walmart. The Luxe isn't anywhere near as advanced as the Charge 6 for exercise tracking, but it's slimmer and if only you're general activity tracking you may prefer the sleeker profile. 

So you can see your options, I've listed all of the options below so you can make up your own mind. It's worth noting that the best prices are all on the current line-up.

Amazon Prime Day Fitbit Deals

As a fitness writer, I've tested a lot of kettlebells and when it comes to working out at home, I always return to one of my favorites: Yes4all cast iron kettlebells. They're tough, the handle is slim enough for my small hands and they're perfect for dynamic moves like the kettlebell swing. 

Still reduced for Amazon Prime Day (despite the event ending on the 17th July), you can get the 15lb vinyl-coated kettlebell at $16.49. If you need a heavier option, the 35lb cast iron kettlebell also has a 20% discount, bringing it down to a tidy $40.10. 

The Yes4all kettlebells aren't built quite like competition-standard kettlebells (which have straight-sided handles instead of flared) but they are much better than some of the plastic-coated options available, and even the heavier ones are fairly durable thanks to their cast-iron construction. Whether you want a vinyl coating, powder coating or just the raw cast iron, Yes4all have a range of kettlebells to suit your needs, all with great discounts.

Prime Day is now over, so these discounts are unlikely to last long: snap them up before they go!

I use my Yes4all kettlebells to add extra resistance to my goblet squats and glute bridges (with a towel between my body and the weight for comfort). The cast-iron and enamel coating makes these some of the best kettlebells you can buy on a budget and I've set myself up with a decent home gym with a selection of different sizes.

If these aren't the right kettlebells for you, or you're looking for a different weight, I'm updating the best Prime Day kettlebell deals throughout the event with the best discounts I can find from Amazon and other retailers. If dumbells are more your speed, my colleague is rounding up the best prime day weights deals as well. 

I've been writing about fitness and covering the Prime Day sales for three years, and every time there's a big sales event I always repeat the same advice: if you're new to fitness, buy the cheap stuff.

While keen runners and dedicated lifters will benefit from specialized gear, you can build muscle and improve your cardio fitness with basic equipment. All you need to get started are some weights, a good mat and a little time.

Once you've figured out what kind of workouts you enjoy, you might want to invest in a better set of adjustable dumbbells and some good cross-training shoes, but don't spend hundreds of dollars before you've figured out what kind of exercise you like.

The Amazon Basics range is a good place to start if you want new workout tools. The dumbbells and kettlebells are already well-priced, but the current Prime Day sales event has made them even cheaper. Below are the five things I'd recommend buying if you want to start working out, which are all currently discounted to less than $40.

Prime Day fitness deals: Amazon Basics for less than $40

Ab wheels are great. Take my word for it—I used an ab wheel every day for a month to see just how great they are and was amazed by how quickly the tool strengthened my core and boosted my balance.

If you're looking to buy your first ab wheel or want a traditional design then you can't go wrong with the Vinsguir ab roller wheel, which is reduced by a tidy 35 percent for Amazon Prime Day. 

Already affordable, with a list price of $33.99, the Prime Day sales have brought it down even further to just $21.99. 

This Vinsguir model features in our round-up of the best ab rollers and is a perfect addition to any home gym. We found that the chunky wheel worked smoothly for all the classic ab roller moves: roller pikes, ab rollouts and balance push-ups. 

It's super easy to assemble too—you just stick the bar through the center of the wheel, add the foam grips and get rolling. The wheel itself has a TPR rubberized surface and a 3.2in tread and the width of it makes it a lot easier to balance with.

It also boasts a healthy 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, with almost 20,000 customer ratings—so it's not just the Fit&Well team who rate it highly.

If you're looking for something a bit more challenging, then Vinsguir have a 'difficult' ab wheel option that is also reduced in the Prime Day Sale. Discounted by 35 percent, you can get the slimmer version of the above wheel for just $12.99, down from $19.99. But be warned: the smaller the wheel, the harder it is to control (which arguably makes it a harder ab workout, which isn't always right for beginners). 

I've been a regular gym-goer for more than a decade, and have used protein powders for most of that time to support my muscle-growth goals. 

Over the years I've tried a lot of different options—some good, some bad, and some that were downright disgusting. But the supplement I keep coming back to is the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, which is currently down 33% in the Prime Day sales. 

Gold standard by name, gold standard by nature, this is one of Fit&Well's tried and tested best protein powders for weight loss for a reason. It delivers a decent 24g of protein per serving to support muscle maintenance and growth, but keeps sugar and fat content to a minimum (1g and 1.5g respectively). 

When testing it, I found the chocolate option tasted great. Its rich flavor and creamy texture did a better impression of a milkshake than most other health drinks, even when mixed with water.

A pure protein hit and the absence of unnecessary ingredients are two of the main things I look for when selecting a protein powder. 

Next up comes the drinking experience. Flavor is key to this and, as I've said already, this Optimum Nutrition powder delivers on that front. 

However, I also found that I feel less bloated and heavy after drinking this powder than other protein supplements I've tried. This is important for me as I tend to exercise in the morning before downing a post-workout shake, so I don't want to feel sluggish for the work day that follows. 

I love a bargain which is why I bought kettlebells from the Amazon Basics range. There's a selection of weights to choose from, all of which have some sort of discount for Prime Day. My trusty 20lb kettlebell has a whopping 50% off, bringing the already reasonable price of $29.99 down to $14.88. 

I own two 20 pounders, as I much prefer kettlebells to dumbells and their versatility means I can use them to add weight to my normal workouts (goblet squats and sit-ups) or do a standard kettlebell arm workout.

The way my living space looks really matters to me, so a rack of brightly-colored weights isn't an option. I have limited storage space and wanted to be able to grab my kettlebells quickly for a workout and then stash them away again once I was done. The black ennamel of the Amazon Basics and compact size made them perfect for my needs, and less of an eyesore than some other options on the market. 

The only downside of these well-priced kettlebells is that they can be slippery, particularly with sweaty hands, so I reccomend picking up a good pair of grippy workout gloves, which are also reduced for Prime Day. 

If you're looking for something slightly different, or want to invest in a set of kettlebells, then the YES4ALL combo kettlebells set of 3 is also reduced for Prime Day, with almost 30% off bringing the price under $75 for the set.

Sprucing up your home gym is never a cheap venture, but with Prime Day shopping bonanza in a full swing, you can make huge savings on a variety of fitness equipment.

And you don't need to spend hundreds on cardio machines and weights machines to get a good workout. From resistance bands and abs wheels to slam balls and ankle weights, there's plenty of affordable pieces of equipment to hit your goals. 

The official Prime Day sale came to an end July 12th, but there are still plenty of discounts around. To help you stretch your budget as far as possible, we scoured Amazon to find the best Prime Day fitness deals under $30. 

Prime Day fitness deals under $30

If you're looking to add some movement into your day and boost your fitness, these Prime Day fitness deals are a budget-friendly way to reach your goals. However, if your budget stretches a bit further, you do have options. 

This year's Prime Day weights deals include money off on some top-name dumbbells and kettlebells, so you can build functional muscle, improve your posture, and burn fat without heading to the gym. 

But you'll also need to give your body some support through your diet and getting the right nutrients. Fortunately, there are discounts to be had here too, with Prime Day supplements deals on protein powders and vitamins. 

I really don't like carrying things. It's an odd thing to write down, but I prefer having my hands free and so I take a backpack with me almost everywhere I go. When I'm trying to travel light and keep hydrated, my bag of choice is the CamelBak Rogue. 

I even rated it as one of the best water bottles for hiking because the weight is evenly distributed across your back, and if you buy a larger hiking backpack, you can remove the water pouch from the Rogue and take it with you. 

It's an excellent pack that has been with me through music festivals, long hot walks, and travels abroad. Other than the label falling off, it's still as good as new after more than five years. 

It's not often on sale, which is why this Prime Day deal is such a great discount, saving you $20 on the regular price, taking it down to just $53.90 right now on Amazon.

When I was diagnosed with a chronic medical condition in 2014, I was told I needed to drink plenty to manage the symptoms. So I bought the CamelBak Rogue and took it with me every time I went out the house. 

But maybe I was primed to get one, as my dad used to take them on walks when I was young, so I knew that the straw-like tube that sits over your shoulder was really convenient for a quick sip. 

Summers over the past few years have been extremely hot, which may put you off a backpack in fear of a sweaty back. However, the mesh fabric is designed to reduce sweat and increase airflow, so it never gets uncomfortable. 

It's pretty straightforward to clean — a quick rinse through is fine in most cases. But there's also the CamelBak Crux Cleaning Kit to help you deep clean the tube and hydration bladder. 

If you'd rather spend less or prefer a traditional water bottle, there are plenty of Prime Day water bottle deals around right now, with savings on Hydro, CamelBak flasks, and designs favored by TikTokers across the globe. 

Finding a deal on a good pair of running shoes is a great feeling. Running shoes can often cost an upwards of $100, but if you're just getting into running or looking for a pair to get you through just a few runs a week, you don't want to be spending lots for the fanciest pair.

But it's still important to find a good shoe, even if you're looking on a budget. Helpfully, as part of this year's Prime Day sale, many of Saucony's running shoes are reduced by up to $100, so you can pick up a pair for as little as $40!

But before you sprint over to stock up, there's a catch—the discount only applies to some models and not all sizes. So, it's a bit of a tense game to try and find the shoe and size you're after during the Prime Day sale. 

However, to give you a hand, we've rounded up several of the best Saucony discounts we've found so far.

Amazon Prime Day 2023 came to an end July 12th, and while some deals lasted another day, the top Prime Day water bottle deals have now come to a close. 

It was a great time to pick up one of the best water bottles for gym workouts, with discounts up to 40% on large, durable bottles with straws, to save any accidental spills while on the go. 

Brands like as Takeya and Zulu also featured in the sales. Sadly, TikTok's favorite Stanley Quencher Cup wasn't discounted, but were still plenty of great deals to be had. 

Prime Day water bottle deals for under $30

Although the Prime Day water bottle deals have ended for this year, we saw big discounts on the Hydro Flask (38% off), the YETI Rambler was less than $40, saving you 30%, and the CamelBak Rogue Hydration Pack had $20 off. 

It's easy to wonder whether you're drinking enough water each day, but carrying a bottle with you is one way to increase your intake. Getting enough water is important for things like your brain function and sports performance.

Fuelling your body is just as important as keeping it hydrated.
