Walmart has been red-hot with discounts on essential fitness equipment. In the last month, the retailer has rolled back the prices on everything from folding treadmills to adjustable dumbbells by as much as 85% with new discounts popping up every day. Now, an underrated home gym has been marked down by $800, and it’s the perfect size for any garage or spare bedroom.
The Upgo Home Gym Station is on sale for $500—62% off the normal $1,300 price at Walmart. This multi-functional home gym has earned nearly 50 five-star ratings from shoppers who have used it and say it’s “an excellent value for the money.” This model is the smaller of two sizes, but the larger version, which comes with additional leg exercise components, is also on sale and costs just $30 more (after an extra $50 coupon). And, though it’s quite heavy and comes in multiple packages, Walmart will ship it to you for free.

This machine has everything you need to skip out on the gym and get a comprehensive workout at home. It’s made from commercial-grade steel and has non-slip pads underneath. With its many components, it’s capable of performing over 50 exercises for arms, chest, legs, back, and more, and features a 154-pound weight stack that’s easy to adjust when crushing supersets and drop sets. Most importantly, this machine is compact, measuring 69-by-41-by-80 inches—small enough for garages, medium-sized spare bedrooms, and even outdoor patios.
Shoppers note that it’s not decked out with the bells and whistles of a commercial product, but most agree that it’s a good investment for home use. “Excellent for a beginner,” a shopper said. “This piece of equipment is suitable for basic, affordable domestic use. The process of assembling the item required approximately three hours. Now, if you are comparing this to professional equipment at the gym or if you are an advanced user, it is unlikely that it will meet your standards. However, it is a decent option for the price.”

If you’re tired of paying to use a gym and want to bring the exercises into your home, look to Upgo’s Home Gym Station to get the job done, especially while it’s on sale for less than what it would cost to use some facilities for three months. Make sure to pick yours up soon, though, because this discount could disappear at any time.
