The best Black Friday fitness deals: from Garmins to treadmills and gym apparel
Level up your training, boost recovery and upgrade your workout wardrobe with these fantastic Black Friday deals
Black Friday is still weeks away, but plenty of sales have sprung up early and I’ve already spotted some fantastic fitness deals to help level up your training, boost recovery, and upgrade your workout wardrobe.
The Black Friday sales can often feel like chaos; half the time you can’t even think about what you really need (if anything), let alone where to turn to seek out the best bargain. Worry not! This is my third year covering the annual sale event and, as T3’s Active Writer, whose idea of fun is heading to the gym on a Friday evening, I consider myself an expert at seeking out a pretty good fitness deal, or two.
From fitness tech to strength gear and recovery essentials, these are the best early deals I’ve come across. FYI, I’ll be updating this guide throughout the month, so check back regularly to make sure you don’t miss the biggest savings as they drop.

Black Friday is one of the best times to buy workout shoes, and the TriBase Reign 6 from Under Armour is a great all-rounder. It has a stable, grippy base to handle heavy lifts, yet enough flexibility in the forefoot for more dynamic and high-intensity movements. I gave these four stars when I reviewed them. If you need a shoe that you can do a bit of everything in (apart from running), I highly recommend.

The Garmin Forerunner 165 is simple enough for beginners but powerful enough for dedicated runners who want accurate data without overcomplicating things. It has a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen and hA all the essential Garmin features too: built-in GPS, optical heart rate monitoring, Body Battery energy tracking, Garmin Coach, stress and sleep insights. Plus, an impressive battery life, lasting up to 11 days in smartwatch mode or around 20 hours in GPS mode, more than enough for regular training.

You can never have too much protein, and you can't go wrong with Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Whey, which packs 24grams in every scoop. Quite a few of the flavours are on offer, and they taste great, even when made with just water. We particularly love the double rich chocolate, delicious strawberry, and the chocolate peanut reminds us of eating a Snickers.

This is the best cheap treadmill deal I've come across for serious runners, as it goes up to a very speedy 18kph and 12% incline. It also comes with many of the bells and whistles you'd find on pricier treadmills, including built-in speakers, Bluetooth connectivity, 30 workout programmes and hand grip pulse sensors. It also folds up too, so despite being a little chunkier than the other models in this list, you can still store it out of the way when you're finished with it.
