Black Friday Deals - Start a Home Gym Under $500
The average American pays ~$500 per year for a gym membership, of course there are cheaper gyms out there and gyms have many benefits don't get me wrong. The Sauna... thats the next home gym purchase for sure...
Anyways! Besides just the cost of going to a gym there is also the problem that it is inconvenient. Especially if you have young children. As parents ourself finding time to drive to the gym is hard. But having a home gym, you can work out while your kids are sleeping or once they are older you can even have them join you during your workouts at home!
Now Amazon has some great deals on home gym equipment so I will share the basics you need to start a home gym and reach your 2025 health and fitness goals!

If you want to get a bit crazy, check out this rack:
The Sportsroyals Power Cage - This cage has a pulley system on it as well. Which is pretty rare for a cage to be included without having to purchase it extra. Now I am not experienced with this rack, I just found it, it does have a 4.4 rating on 238 ratings so thats not bad. Price on sale right now is $309.99 compared to $389.99 regularly.
Here is a barbell to add to your cage that will keep you under $500 between the 2 - CAP Barbell - a 7ft 44lb standard barbell. Price on sale right now is 19% at $121.77 compared to $149.99.
Now to add weights for the barbell that would put you a bit over $500 but if you want to go for the rack version, I would recommend the Cap Plates, they are about $1 a pound right now!
