Whether you're trying to add secondary weight to your workouts or you want to make treks more challenging, employing a weighted vest is the perfect solution. Cap Barbell's weighted vest is one of Amazon's best, made from strong reinforced nylon, and it's on sale in a ton of weight sizes ranging from 20 to 150 pounds. If you're newer to the concept, opt for the 40-pound vest. If you're a seasoned vet, the 60-pound vest is also a very attractive 25% off—and all are fully adjustable.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Durable, sturdy, comfortable...I love this vest. I have tried at least four others and this one has been my favorite. It works as well for me now as it did when I first got it 18 months ago. All vests take a little while to get used to, but this one has been the best."
PowerBlock Elite EXP 50-Pound Adjustable Dumbbells, $288 (was $449) on Amazon

Surprisingly, the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells—an annual Prime Day bestseller—did not get marked down during this year's Prime Day sale, but plenty of other options did. PowerBlock's Elite EXP is the best of the bunch, with a completely different system that some shoppers far prefer to the Bowflex rotating dial system. These adjustable dumbbells have a pin that allows you to easily select and lock in your weight, but it also changes the length of the dumbbells in the process—a win for comfort that most others don't offer. When you're not lifting, they can also double as a push-up bar.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Best buy for the money, pound-for-pound...First, they are a great space saver. Second, they are safe and quick to adjust. Also, there are many other mechanical adjustable dumbbells that are similar, but the weights get stuck as the locking system wears down over time. This system is not mechanical, and the adjustable pin system is easy to use and never fails to slide out the weight amount as you need."
Yes4All 25-Pound Vinyl-Coated Cast Iron Kettlebell, $29 (was $35) on Amazon

Yes4All makes Prime Day 2024's best kettlebells. These cast iron vinyl-coated weights are available in 5-pound increments from 5- to 65-pounds, but the best value during the sale is on the 25-pound model. The handle is wide and comfortable with a little texture for enhanced grip while the body of the kettlebell has been coated in vinyl, which will help increase the 'bell's life and dampen noise as it touches the ground.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I'm loving these so far...Sometimes I work out at night and they're quiet when you put them on the ground. I find them extremely versatile and so easy to use with all kinds of workouts that I didn't use weights with before.
