Walmart offers pre-Black Friday prices on Home Fitness Machines in time for the holidays

Building a home gym can be a money and time saver. Though gym equipment can be expensive, the machines pay for themselves after a while, considering the cost of gym memberships and gas money. It can be much quicker to get in a workout at home rather than taking the time to go to the gym. For these reasons, more and more people are purchasing their own treadmills, ellipticals, free weights, and more. Most fitness equipment has dropped in price over the years and can be affordable, but with so many choices out there, it can be daunting trying to figure out what equipment to buy. This is where we come in; we’ve found some great deals on home gym equipment from Walmart and summed it all up below for you. Check out these pre-Black Friday deals below.

There’s a huge Black Friday sale on Thule roof cargo boxes
thule rooftop cargo boxes deals amazon november 2023 box on car

It's almost winter, which means snowy day trips and skiing, and if you pack your whole family inside one vehicle, it can be difficult to get the rest of your critical belongings (such as bikes and kayaks) to your destination. In theory, you could buy a larger car. Many families get a minivan for the explicit purpose of relieving this kind of pressure. But that's pretty extreme when you could simply expand the storage space of your current car. And with Black Friday sales like this one, putting dozens of Thule rooftop cargo boxes on big discounts, now is a good time to consider doing so. We're seeing deals were you could save $100 (or even more) or Thule rooftop cargo boxes and accessories. Just tap the button below to access the curated collection, then keep reading for our take in how to shop the sale.

Why you should shop the Thule rooftop cargo box sale
One of the first things we want you to know before you shop the Thule collection is some features that aren't immediately apparent just by looking at the cargo boxes. For example, you may be highly concerned about driving off and having your belongings (including embarrassing items like underwear) go everywhere because the box flies open. Thule boxes, however, typically snap shut with an audible click. You know your items are secure. Alternatively, items like their cargo box have a "comfort key" that cannot be removed until all locking points are secured. While we hesitate to say these securing systems are completely idiot-proofing, they should give you a great sense of calm.
