It’s workout season. Is your home gym ready? If not, there’s an avalanche of great deals at Walmart to help you get your workout space in shape. Consider this dumbbell set for just $170, a massage gun for only $26, and a full home gym machine for $500 (an 86% discount). That’s not all, though: Walmart is also selling a super popular adjustable squat rack for well over half off, and shipping costs nothing.
The Athletic Works Adjustable Squat Rack is on sale for $43, a 57% discount from its normal price of $99. This bestselling squat rack is a favorite among Walmart shoppers who say it’s “solid,” “stable,” and “works well.” Many laud this as a fantastic pick for those just beginning their strength training journey, but it's also one even regular at-home lifters enjoy. It doesn't come with weight plates, but you can score a 100-pound set for just $50 right now that will fit perfectly—we recommend grabbing two.
This squat rack is made from heavy-duty powder-coated steel, ensuring it stays in place when in use and resists bumps and scratches. Once assembled, it’s highly adjustable—the uprights can be placed at seven different heights (from 41.8 inches up to 60 inches) and the rack can be set up from 27.6 inches to 36 inches wide. The rack includes two weight plate storage posts to keep your weights tidy and easily accessible, and built-in safety catches (adjustable through four different positions) keep the bar from dropping to the floor if you lose your grip. Overall, it’s a solid basic rack with all the features you need for a killer workout—and no gimmicks.
