Save hundreds in January deals on home workout equipment
The new year has heralded the arrival of a swathe of resolutions as people look to make improvements in their lives. One of the most common pledges made as we enter January is a vow to improve our fitness.
It often sees an avalanche of people signing up to pricey gym memberships. But gyms aren't for everyone, and many people prefer the privacy of working out in their own homes, not to mention the convenience and time it can save.
The downside, of course, is you need some equipment (unless fitness DVDs are your thing) and it doesn't come cheap. But sales events can be a great opportunity to save a lot of cash.
Argos and Wowcher have cut prices across lots of different ranges as part of January sales, with some fitness gear now reduced massively. We've picked out a few of the equipment deals to suit a range of budgets and exercise preferences.
Pro Fitness Aerobic Exercise Bike
Pro Fitness Aerobic Exercise Bike (Argos)The Pro Fitness Aerobic Exercise Bike currently has £135 off, making it £264, down from £399. It features 8 levels of tension control and a 10kg flywheel meaning you can easily change the resistance to suit your level and goals.

The bike features a handy phone holder, allowing you to watch a TV show or listen to music while you workout. It has an average rating of 4.1 stars out of five from 19 reviews.
One said: "Bought this bike to help control my weight and cholesterol levels. Instruction manual to help build the bike was very good, built it in less than a hour, all the tools came with it.
"Have used it every day since getting it, my only gripe, and the reason I have not given it 5 stars is the saddle. I have ridden a street bike before so I know what the saddle should feel like, but the saddle on the bike, why does it have to be so hard?
"After 30 minutes or so my backside was going numb. Have to ride the bike sitting on a cushion."
Wowcher is also selling an Adjustable Exercise Bike for £94 instead of £599.99. It features an adjustable resistance system and LCD display.
