Squat racks, barbells, weight benches, weight plates & dumbbells on Black Friday

At Strong Home Gym, we believe in using the 80:20 principle. In this case, you can buy a few items of equipment to cover the vast majority of exercises you’ll do at the gym (click on any link to see our thorough buying guide and recommendations):

These are the 20% pieces of equipment we share in our guide to building a home gym that will be used for 80% of exercises.

And here are some great places you can find a deal during Black Friday…


PRx Performance

PRx Black Friday

If you are short on space then we highly recommend the PRx folding racks. There is no denying that their patented technology makes them unique in a crowded market.

And there’s nothing anyone else can do about it!

But the main concern for people about these racks is their price.

During this Black Friday, you’ll be able to bag a bargain such as:

  • 10% off all Profile ONE and PRO racks
  • 15-20% off barbells
  • 10% off in stock benches (folding flat, stand-alone incline, VTX)
  • 5-20% off all storage equipment

Also, check out their weight plates– they are some of the most affordable options on the market.

This is one of the sales I’m personally most excited about so be sure to check it out…


REP Fitness

REP Fitness Black Friday

Rogue, REP and Titan all offer some amazing quality gym equipment for a very reasonable price.

But REP is what I consider a middle ground between Rogue and Titan.

Typically you will find pricing of similar items in order of price like this:

  • Rogue
  • REP
  • Titan

REP’s quality has improved A LOT in recent years and especially since the shortage of equipment in 2020. The price has stayed very competitive making it…

A sweet sweet combo of…

Quality and affordability.

If you are considering buying an affordable power rack in this sale the PR-4000 is our top pick. This will give you a 10% discount on the rest of your order so it may be a great time to stock up on bumper plates, or upgrade your weight bench.

REP PR-4000 Power Rack

REP-PR-4000 Power Rack
Read our best squat rack guide here

Looking for an affordable yet high quality power rack?

Look no further!

After comparing over 100 types of squat racks the PR-4000 came out on top.

You can add any attachment to it (including cables, dip bars and plate holders). You can even add additional uprights to back to make it even more of a beast!

The 1 inch westside hole spacing means you can position the spotter arms to the ideal height when you bench press. So you can safely drop the bar and have a full range of motion when you lift.

And the 3×3″ 11 gauge steel make this the best value rack we could find.


Bells of Steel

Bells of Steel Black Friday

Bells of Steel is making more and more quality equipment that is making it’s way onto our top picks after extensive research and testing.

For example, their trap bar and the multi-grip bar are our top picks overall due to the quality and pricing.

They also have some freakishly good deals coming out later in the month of November- we can’t technically reveal what these deals are (yet) but if you like a bargain just trust me… you MUST check this one out.

To give you a taster… last year they were offering some free gifts when you make purchases during the Black Friday weekend:

  • Spend $200 for choice of one Tier 1 gift: White Mini Band, Mighty Grip Workout Chalk or Arm Blaster
  • Spend $400 for Tier 2: Glute Ham Slider, Loadable Dumbbell or pulley attachments
  • Spend $1,000 for Tier 3: 3-in-1 Plyo Box, Deadlift Pads or two Loadable Dumbbells
  • Spend $4,000: A chance to get every single one of these items

If you like the sound of a lucky dip then you won’t want to miss this one…


Rogue Fitness

Rogue Fitness Black Friday

It’s pretty hard to find a good deal with Rogue. In fact, they only have one sale a year…

And that is “Matte Black Friday”!

However, this year there is still “supply chain congestion” (I guess thanks to the virus that shall not be named). This means they have “Matte Black November”. So it allows you to get your orders in early to avoid the disappointment of missing out.

Here’s what Rogue has going on:

  • Hot Deals
  • Closeout
  • Boneyard
  • Hundo Pricing

You can see what they mean in the image above.

But some of the best deals to be aware of is that Monster racks have no more than $75 shipping cost. And non-branded dumbbells will sell for $1/pound! Keep an eye on their awesome multi-purpose barbells too 😉


Titan Fitness

Titan Fitness Black Friday

Titan is well known for its affordable gym equipment.

But what is becoming more and more transparent is they are really starting to compete with the quality of other companies like Rogue. This makes some of their products the “best for most people”. An item like their safety squat bar genuinely is our top recommendation.

Watch their Black Friday deals, such as $100 off power racks, like a hawk this year…


Fringe Sport

Fringe Sport Black Friday

Fringe Sport has some very decent gym gear. Particularly their Olympic barbells and bumper plates.

Their Black Friday is nearly always one of the best ones around.

They often cut prices by 50% for the weekend so keep an eye on what happens here…


American Barbell

American Barbell Black Friday

Well known for their attention to detail on Olympic barbells.

One of the best places to look for some bargains during Black Friday. Again they have made some pretty big claims about what will be on offer this year…


Black Friday Home Gym Machines

Machines aren’t highly recommended in our guide on how to build a home gym.

However, there’s no denying they are useful for certain people or situations:

  • People new to working out
  • Anyone worried about injuring themselves with a barbell
  • People recovering from injuries
  • Etc.

They are typically easier to use and there is a lot of research that suggests they are still effective for building strength or muscle…


Force USA

Force USA Black Friday

Force USA dominates the all in one home gym market.

We’ve researched over 100 machines and tested many of them, and honestly, nothing comes close to the quality and versatility for the price.

Plus, if you get a machine in November you get a free barbell (which is so good it actually features in our best Olympic barbell guide… and we’re VERY picky about barbells).

If you’re in the market for a home gym machine then you need to check out the Force USA G15 as it is a beast and you won’t need anything else in your home gym.

Force USA G15 Machine

Force USA G15 All-In-One Trainer
Read our best all in one home gym guide here

The Force USA G15 combines a Smith machine, a squat rack, and a pulley system in one compact machine.

The G15 pulley cables have a 2-to-1 and a 4-to-1 ratio allowing you to perform any movement on it. The cable length is longer than a 1-to-1 ratio and allows you to lift lighter weight, ideal for lat raises etc.

Add a leg press and lat pull-down attachment to make it become a true all-in-one home gym machine.

After comparing over 100 machines the G15 came out on top for quality, versatility, and nothing competes at this price point.

You can learn a lot more about the models in our thorough Force USA all-in-one trainer review. We compare all of them and suggest who we think each model is best suited for.

For exant to miss this one…


Total Gym

Total Gym Black Friday

The Total Gym became popular after the endorsement from the likes of Chuck Norris in those old-school TV commercials.

But they are still popular today and can be a great way to workout in a small space or if you travel a lot without access to a gym.

Be sure to check out our best Total Gym model recommendations.

And if you’ve been considering one then don’t miss the Black Friday weekend…


Bowflex

Bowflex Black Friday

Bowflex is great at producing beginner all in one home gym machines.

The power rod technology makes them very easy and safe for anyone to use. It still provides a decent resistance and it’s possible to stay in shape and build muscle using these machines.

Their adjustable dumbbells are also some of the most affordable out there so don’t miss this sale!


Other Black Friday workout equipment

Maybe you are after some other gym accessories or equipment such as a suspension trainer, bands, flooring etc.

These items are not to be overlooked to set up a complete home gym.

However, they can increase your spending significantly and finding discounts can help to save a ton of money.


TRX

TRX Black Friday

TRX features heavily in our best suspension trainer guide.

Suspension trainers are a great way to improve core strength and target pesky muscle groups like the upper back muscles with your bodyweight.

Another great addition to any gym, but also if you travel a lot and want to keep up with your training.


Amazon

Amazon has just about everything you can think of. If you’re buying a power rack, barbell or plates I would usually advise one of the main brands to ensure you get the warranty, quality and customer service etc.

But it can be ideal if you’re on a tight budget or need any other accessories.

Don’t miss Amazon’s Black Friday sales…

Tips for Black Friday Fitness Equipment shopping

It’s easy to miss this weekend or end up buying a load of stuff that you never use. So here are some tips to make sure you make the most of it…

1. Have a plan… and stick to it

Before you pull out your credit card you should make a list of what you actually need.

There are some equipment which you will use all the time and other items that may look cool but don’t bring any results.

Making a good plan is as easy as 1,2,3 once you know these simple steps…

  1. Work out your own fitness goals
  2. Plan a workout to achieve these goals (check out our beginner weight lifting routine if you want to build muscle &/or strength)
  3. Buy the equipment you need to do these workouts

If you’re not sure where to start check out our guide on how to build a home gym. It includes the main items most people need and has a ton of tips to save money whilst building it!

2. Reseach before Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Once you have a plan it’s really important that you figure out the specific equipment you want.

And this part is NOT easy!

For example, if you want a barbell do you want a:

If you don’t know what some of those are, don’t let all of that overwhelm you! Simply check out our best Olympic barbell guide as we’ve done all the research for you!

Our team has spent hundreds of hours researching, comparing and testing thousands of products. Here are some of the big guides that should help:

Spending an hour or so researching can literally save thousands of dollars from buying the wrong kit for you.

3. Take tiered discounts or free shipping into account

Sometimes companies pay discounts if you spend more money with them. For example, Bells of Steel gives you a chance to win some crazy good items if you spend over $4,000 with them.

Other companies provide free shipping if you spend over a certain amount.

So sometimes it’s better to buy a bundle from one store than a few things from each one.

If you’ve done your research and know exactly which piece of kit you want you may need to buy from a few different stores. But sometimes that extra consideration into their deals for Black Friday gym equipment can make all the difference to the bottom line.

4. Act fast on Black Friday

Don’t wait until the last day to make your order.

It’s crazy how busy this weekend is! If you wait too long your favorite kit may go out of stock.

So have your plan and set a reminder in your calendar for early doors on the Friday (check out each website though as some start on the Thursday and others, like Rogue, have deals all month!)

5. Check the fine print

When you assume you make an “ass” out of “u” and “me”.

Never assume!

Always check the website’s fine print before expecting to receive a free power rack with your 10 resistance bands. It can be easy to misunderstand a deal or believe you’re in for a discount when you’re not.

6. Bookmark this resource

Keep this page handy.

It gets updated regularly over the month of November every year and things do change!
