Unlike decades past, getting in shape doesn’t have to be a grueling and mundane experience devoid of distraction other than your trusty headphones and playlist. Fitness equipment like treadmills and stationary bikes have gone “smart” in spectacular form, integrating real-world route mapping with street-view video footage and the capability to alter inclines and resistance to match said route, among a host of other features.
While all these bells and whistles certainly call for a slightly higher cost of entry, our favorite top-rated treadmills and stationary bikes are seeing significant price drops just in time for Cyber Monday. If you’ve been procrastinating about getting in shape, but want to make good on that fitness-based New Year’s resolution you’ve been trying to forget these last 11 months, now’s your chance to get back on track without breaking the bank (before 2019 rolls around).
