Treadmills And Bikes And Ellipticals, Oh My! New Year’s Day Sales On Fitness Equipment Not To Miss

So you’ve made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight. You’re not alone; Nearly 80 percent of Americans (76 percent of men and 87 percent of women) pledge to drop the pounds on Jan. 1 every year, according to a study by USamp.

However, nearly 69 percent of those said they have failed with their goals or abandoned their resolutions by March.

"New Year dieters often aim too high and don't see results fast enough, or they feel hungry and tired and don't exercise,” an international nutrition adviser and author, Jacqueline B. Marcus, said in a statement.

One way to promote exercise in your daily life is to invest in new workout gear or fitness equipment. After all, money could be motivational.

In fact, New Year’s is the best time to purchase workout machines. Gottadeal reported that fitness equipment is cheapest in January, when gyms are promoting membership deals and discounts. Experts say that there are “much better deals” in January than going to the gym.

No matter what your budget, the nation’s top retailers will be offering deals and discounts on treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals, exercise apparel, sneakers, fitness bands and more during their New Year’s Day sales.
