Whether it’s the end of fall or the middle of summer, your fitness routine should never take a season off. Thankfully, Walmart’s deals on fitness equipment have been expansive, so whether your regimen involves a barbell, a multi-step workout on a home gym machine, or something as simple as walking on a treadmill, you can bring the action to your home for less. One of the best all-around workouts is rowing, and recently, Walmart’s most popular rower got a $300-plus price reduction—and it comes with free shipping.

The Pooboo magnetic rowing machine is the ultimate package for anyone looking to expand their at-home gym. At only 45 pounds, it is lightweight and very portable, and it fits riders from 5 to 6.5 feet tall with a weight capacity of 350 pounds. It’s also easy to put together: It comes 85% completed, making the entire process hassle-free. It features eight levels of magnetic resistance and is whisper-quiet, ensuring others around you are not disturbed. Equipped with ergonomic handles and a cushioned seat, each rowing session feels like a plush ride.
“Being an athletic guy, I was concerned if it would provide enough resistance to make the workout right for me,” one shopper confessed. “Luckily, it does, as there are over eight levels of resistance to choose from. It’s ergonomically friendly, the seat is much better than most rowers, and it glides nicely and freely with each stroke.”
