I built a home gym for less than $360 thanks to Black Friday—here’s how you can do the same

by UNN Feed

Building a home gym can seem like a mammoth (and expensive) task, but it doesn’t have to be. All you need are a few versatile items to upgrade your gym-free training set-up—trust me, I’ve done it. 

This time last year I used Black Friday discounts to lay the foundations for my very own home gym. I spent less than $360 thanks to some eye-wateringly good reductions, and had everything delivered the next day courtesy of Amazon Prime. By Cyber Monday, I was ready to train.

3. Exercise bike
