If you’re looking for a great CrossFit barbell, the Fringe Sport Women’s Wonder Bar is a great choice.

The zinc coating ensures the bar has some resistance to rust for better longevity.

A lot of adjustable kettlebells can feel rickety when you swing them, but the SelectTech 840 from Bowflex feels solid during its swings. Its weight range goes from eight to 40 pounds, and its hard-plastic and cast-iron build feels extremely sturdy (although we don’t recommend dropping it).

Sunny Health and Fitness Magnetic Silent Recumbent Exercise Bike
Discount: $200 off
One of the biggest issues with having a piece of cardio equipment in your home is that they can get loud, potentially driving your housemates nuts.

Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Recumbent
Right now, the recumbent is $200 off, so if you’ve been looking for a low-impact way to get your cardio in, you should definitely check this deal out.
True Form Runner Treadmill

Curved treadmills can have a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the feeling of powering a treadmill with your own motion dialed, it’s about the most natural running motion you can have on a treadmill. True Form’s Curved Treadmills are pricey, but we love the feel of running on these.

How to Find The Best Labor Day Fitness Deals
The good news about Labor Day sales is that it seems like everyone’s giving out discounts. The bad news about Labor Day sales is that the sheer volume of sales can make it hard to know where to start. To ensure you find what you need (and score some great deals), here are a few tips for managing Labor Day sales.
Have A Shopping List
Browsing around for hours can be fun, but gear can sell out fast when it’s discounted. Put together a wish list of what you need to fill out your home gym, so you can head to the right sites and pick up your gear before it sells out.
Follow Your Favorite Brand’s Social Media Accounts
While this list contains our favorite deals, it’s far from comprehensive. Companies often post previews of what deals are going live on their social media accounts, so if you’re looking for something outside this list, following companies like Rogue and REP Fitness can clue you into what prices they’re knocking down.
Look For Big-Ticket Items
We tried to add a variety of price ranges to this list, but Labor Day is a great time to pick up one of those big-ticket items you’ve been saving up for. Usually, you’ll find the biggest discounts on more expensive items like treadmills, squat racks, and even barbells.
FAQs
When are Labor Day sales active?
In 2023, Labor Day is on Monday, September 4, but the sales tend to last through that week. Some companies will start their sales early, so be sure to start checking on your key items the week before Labor Day to make sure you can snag them before they’re gone.
Is everything on sale on Labor Day?
No, not everything. However, Labor Day is a huge sale day, rivaled only by Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most companies will offer discounts on at least some of their gear, if not all of it.
Are Labor Day sales as good as Black Friday?
Traditionally, Black Friday sales offer the biggest discounts, but Labor Day is still a good time to buy your gear and get a good head start on those New Year’s Resolutions. Often, companies will offer sales on Black Friday to get rid of inventory they’re discontinuing or updating, so if you wait until Black Friday, that barbell you’ve been eyeing might be gone for good.
