When you're on a tight budget, sales events like Black Friday can feel a little pointless. If you aren't scouting for discounts on Peloton bikes or a new rowing machine, is there any point in looking? Actually, yes!

There are still some good discounts that can be found on budget-friendly fitness gear under $15. Some surprisingly good pieces of equipment from brands I know and trust have come on sale this Black Friday, plus I've seen some decent deals on light weights, resistance bands and kettlebells for under $15 too.

I've rounded up some of my favorites for you below.
