If, like me, you let some of your fitness goals fall by the wayside this summer, Labor Day is the perfect time to build out your home gym and revitalize your exercise routine. And you don’t even have to wait for the long weekend to start seeking out some excellent Labor Day deals, because Amazon’s sale has already started. Below, I’ve collected my favorite fitness deals so far from Amazon’s early Labor Day sale—and I’ll keep adding more as the holiday weekend gets closer
The best early Labor Day sales on cardio equipment
All of the NordicTrack T Series is all on sale, with the T10 in particular catching my eye: Normally $1,299, it’s currently discounted to $999. For cardio, your options get trickier in an apartment setting or a home without a ton of extra space, but foldable equipment like this is a nice solution
The YOSUDA Friction 1.0 bike is $178.99, down from $249.99
This MERACH exercise bike is $399.98, down from $599.99
This walking pad is $79.98, normally $106.80. This is a simple, straightforward option if you’ve been looking to get your steps in while working at a standing desk
If you’re looking for more than just a bare-bones option, this fancier walking pad reaches speeds of up to 6.2 mph and a 5% incline, and it’s also foldable for storage. It’s currently on sale for $119.98 (normally $199.99)
(A word of caution: When you’re browsing walking pads, remember you really cannot trust those product pictures.)

The best early Labor Day sales on dumbbells
This CAP ADJUSTABELL adjustable dumbbell set is $249.99, normally $299.99. These can adjust from 10 to 55 pounds in 5-pound increments with a simple twist of the handle (no knobs, pins, or levers are involved)
This CAP rubber-coated dumbbell weight set is $159.99, normally $189.99. While I’m a big proponent of adjustable dumbbells, you can’t go wrong with a traditional vertical rack like this. It includes a pair of 5-pound, 10-pound, 15-pound, 20-pound, and 25-pound rubber hex dumbbells with a vertical dumbbell rack
These Feierdun adjustable dumbbells are $161.98 for the 90-pound set, down from $219.99. I’m especially drawn to how this system can configure the weights as fixed barbells, kettlebells, traditional dumbbells, or individual weight plates. Incorporating kettlebell swings and goblet squats without purchasing separate equipment? That’s a steal
The best early Labor Day sales on other home gym staples
These resistance bands are $18.99, normally $24.99. A solid pair of resistance bands like these will be the perfect addition to your home gym, and great for travel workouts, whether in the poolside gym or your hotel rooms
This FLYBIRD adjustable weight bench is $125.99, normally $139.99
This Yes4All kettlebell is $69.16 for the 45-pound option, normally $91.35. It’s got a wide-grip handle and neoprene coating over the cast iron to reduce noise and protect your flooring
