Save $140 on the Proform 750R. Sturdy, foldable and whisper-quiet, this rowing machine punches way above its affordable price point. It may not have interactive screens and other premium frills, but the Proform 750R stands on its own merit, which is not common to see in this price range. With this Best Buy deal, this affordable gem is even cheaper.

Save 20% on the YOSUDA Indoor Bike. We named it as the best budget option in our guide to the best exercise bikes, and for a good reason. It has everything you may need from an exercise machine, from an excellent range of resistance and a comfy seat to a phone holder, but it does not cost the earth.

Save $259 on the NordicTrack T 7.5 S, a deal that immediately caught our eye. This smart running machine was made by NordicTrack, a brand we know and love having tested several of their exercise machines, and it is not often we see such a hefty discount on one of their bestsellers. The T 7.5 S can be easily folded up, making it a perfect choice for tight spaces.
Save up to 21% on one of the best yoga mats on the market (prices vary depending on the chosen design). Teachers' favorite, this ultra-dense mat provides excellent cushioning so you can exercise with ease, and it is easy to clean, too. We knocked a star off for its poor grip, but this issue can be solved with a grip towel or gel.
