Few things beat the convenience of a workout at home. But in order to see gains, you need the right equipment. A well-stocked home gym doesn't require much in order to pay dividends.
If you were thinking about starting or adding to your home gym, there's no better time than the present. Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, a 30-hour online shopping bonanza that starts at 9 p.m. EST on June 10 and runs through 3 a.m. EST on June 12, hundreds of thousands of items across the site will be marked down. Deals are limited to Prime members. For the uninitiated, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here.
We’ve rounded up some of the best deals—from benches and dumbbells, to medicine balls and weight racks, and more—so you can decide which gear and equipment you want in your home, apartment, or even office. Note: Due to the nature of Prime Day, prices are subject to change and items may sell out quickly.

Adidas Performance Flat Training Bench
Adidas
You’ll feel comfortable lying on this bench that’s made of two-and-a-half-inch thick density foam. And the outer material is suitable to be wiped down with cleaner after a tough, sweaty workout. It can hold up to 600 pounds, too.
If you want to buy a barbell rack, now’s the time. This steel rack is 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide, and is compatible with almost all barbells. All of the tube seams are welded, too, to provide strength and stability reinforcements.
A great way to see gains? By having the ability to up your weights at home. Unfortunately, not everyone has room for a full rack of dumbbells in their house or apartment. Enter these adjustable ones. They start at five and go up to 60 pounds each, plus they take up minimal space.
While you can definitely get use of these at home, if you travel a lot, these bands are a must. They allow you to add resistance to any exercise, making it that much more difficult. And they take up no room in a suitcase or carry on.
Perform mountain climbers, pike ups, and other core exercises with help from these sliders. Place them under your hands or feet to allow for freedom of movement all over the wood, turf, or carpeted floor. They won’t leave any marks on the ground either.
Whether you’re looking to perfect wall balls to better your CrossFit game, want to work on slams, or you’re just looking to add some weight to your ab exercises, this soft medicine ball can help. It’s made of extremely durable material too, so it can handle a beating. Choose from four to 30 pounds depending on your fitness level.
Toss the arm and ankle weights and instead invest in this vest if you want to add some weight onto your body during a workout or run. You can choose from 40 to 150 pounds, and the weights are removable as well, in case you decide you want to adjust after purchase.
Not only is the 10-inch touch screen web-compatible so you can surf if need be, this treadmill is also iPod compatible, so you can plug in your music and jam out while you log miles. It comes with 34 different preloaded workouts, which means your runs will never get boring.
