The best sports Black Friday deals
Fitbit versa 2 with Amazon Alexa: Was £159, now £99, Currys.co.uk
A cult favourite among gym-goers, runners, and cyclists, Fitbit is a go-to brand for fitness trackers, and Currys is currently offering a saving of £60 on the versa 2 device. When our writer reviewed the wearable for our round-up of the best fitness trackers, they praised it as a great alternative to the Apple Watch if you don’t have an iPhone. “It works similarly to the Fitbit charge 3, including a similar range of workouts, but has a large, colour screen,” they said, adding that the “sleep tracking is more detailed, recognising REM sleep as well as light and deep.”
Gymshark energy seamless cropped leggings: Was £40, now £24, Gymshark.com
Available in an oh-so-luxe brown, eye-popping blue and simple yet stylish black, you can now shimmy into this cropped pair from Gymshark for nearly half price. In or out of the gym, a great pair of leggings can offer oodles of confidence, and from their ribbed waistband to their high-waist fit, this curve-hugging pair is crafted to do just that. Sitting pretty on the waist, you can just about peep the mesh patterns, creating a subtle contoured effect, with eyelet details adding a touch of personality to your look. We’ll take two.
Hydrow rower: Was £2,295, now £1,795, Hydrow.co.uk
Touted by none other than Oprah herself, this slimline rower offers live training sessions and classes to transport you out onto the water – and with a saving of £500 to be had right now, there’s no better time to buy. When our writer reviewed the Hydro rower, they were impressed with the streaming content and “realistic action”, noting that “the rowing action is very smooth, and the webbed strap and foam handle contribute to the comfort factor, which means that you can just concentrate on what’s going on via the touchscreen and your own technique”.
Sweaty Betty Betty ski base layer top: Was £75, now £56.25, Sweatybetty.com
A seriously fun look from Sweaty Betty, this retro take on skiing gear just oozes cool. Not one to compromise comfort for style of course, the slim-fit and high neck style is made from sweat-wicking fabric, said to offer optimum comfort without any chafing. Luckily for us, Sweaty Betty is now offering a discount of 25 per cent across the whole site when you use the code “CHEERS”, so snap these up while you can.
Nike react live: Was £100, now £65, Jdsports.co.uk
Nailing the futuristic aesthetic, these monochrome kicks are now on sale at JD Sports with 35 per cent off. Sporting contemporary crisscross laces and a rippled design across the soles, they’ve certainly got plenty of style points. And though we haven’t tested these particular sneakers, our edit of the best running shoes for women featured a very similar pair, which are tester called “an all-rounder for putting in the miles, rather than speedwork”.
Yogi Bare lunar paws: Was £74.95, now £44.97, Yogi-bare.co.uk
Made from sustainable and biodegradable rubber, this mat really impressed us – in fact, it was crowned best buy in our best yoga mats review. Etched with beautiful lunar markings, the mat didn’t slip once during testing, and our reviewer appreciated the extra padding which came in handy during longer sessions. They said: “It offered almost everything the other mats did, with no squeak, stretch or curly edges, making it the ideal investment if you’re a committed yogi.” If that isn’t enough to sway you, all of the brand’s packaging is recyclable, and your purchase will even go towards supporting the marine conservation society Sea Shepherd. Note that this discount is applied when the mat reaches your basket.
Puma ultra 1.3 MG men’s football boots: Was £180, now £99, Puma.com
Puma’s Black Friday deals have landed, with discounts on almost everything when you use the code "BLACKFRIDAY". Included in the sales are these gloriously garish football boots, which featured in our best men’s football boots edit. Impressed by how lightweight they were, our tester was also pleased with the comfortable fit. They said: “There’s a sticky nature to the exterior fabric that helps with close control and accurate passing. While the lightness of the boot (even as far as transparent panels in the side) doesn’t provide a huge amount of protection from a tackle, the bounce you enjoy from the tech inside the boot means you should’ve jumped over the defender’s foot with ease, anyway."

Save £287 on the GX50 trainer right now and transform your home workouts. There are 20 fitness programmes to choose between: everything from gentle exercise to a challenging mountain climb.

MyProtein protein flapjack: Was £18.99, now £9.68, Myprotein.com
“This flapjack bar is very moreish – it tastes great, the texture is buttery soft and, with 20g of protein, it’s got a lot more protein than many other bars out there,” said our reviewer when testing these oaty treats in our best protein bars review. Crammed with muscle-building protein and plenty of carbs, MyProtein says these tasty treats are perfect for building and maintaining muscle post-workout, and with 55 per cent off right now when you use the code “BLACK” at the checkout, gym bunnies won’t want to miss out.

In a simple, neutral grey, we can easily see this becoming a gymwear staple.

What is Cyber Monday?
The Monday following Black Friday has come to be known as Cyber Monday, and it is the last day of the sales. It’s named as such because pre-Christmas online shopping normally peaks on this day.
Some retailers continue to slash prices throughout the Monday, so it’s the perfect opportunity to bag a bargain if you missed out on anything over the weekend. It’s also the last mass sale event until January.
