Prime Day is here again, and there are plenty of Prime Day deals to be found on Amazon. I often tell clients that less is more when building strength and muscle — you don’t need loads of equipment, so check these fitness deals out below.

Stocking up on the best home gym equipment could get pricey, but you only need some basic tools to help you strengthen your muscles without the gym. Getting more creative with your home gym set-up also translates to on-the-go workouts on vacation or in your local park.

For example, the best-rated Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells are now $549 now $313 @ Amazon  That's a 43% discount on these popular dumbbells.

So, why not save some dollars this Prime Day by cashing on the deals below? I’ve sifted tons of deals to bring my favorite fitness picks to help you build strength and muscle right now. Here are my top five Prime Day deals for strength training.
