I’m a personal trainer and if I wanted to start strength training these are the six things I’d buy in the Amazon Big Spring Sale

Adjustable dumbbells are a great investment because they have multiple weights (in this instance 6-35lb) in just one bit of kit, making them a good option for people short on space. This one comes with accessories that allow you to add a handle to the dumbbell to turn it into a kettlebell, as well as a barbell. It also comes with push-up stands.

If you like the idea of adjustable dumbbells but don’t need such a big weight range as the UNNMIIY offers, this MERACH 4 in 1 set is a good alternative for beginners, with four weight settings from 2.2 to 8.8lb. Plus, it looks super smart and comes in four color options: blue, black, pink or white. It’s also really easy to add and remove plates thanks to the trapezoidal snap-on design.

If kettlebells are more your thing, this adjustable kettlebell from Polyfit is worth snapping up while it’s on offer. The weight range is 5, 8 or 12lb, and it comes in purple, green or pink. Kettlebell exercises, especially the kettlebell swing, are an excellent way to strengthen the posterior chain, which can reduce back pain.

This is the lowest price in 30 days for this set of three kettlebells (5, 10 and 15lb) so snap up this deal while it lasts! Well-made from cast iron, they come in pink, green and purple, with an easy-to-grip handle and vinyl finish for durability.

I love resistance bands for strength training because they are lightweight and portable, and you can easily pack them on vacation. These ones come with three different resistance bands, as well as ankle cuffs.

If you’re a fan of Pilates but can’t afford a reformer, this budget-friendly kit is a fairly decent home alternative. It’s a Pilates bar with six resistance bands, foot and ankle straps as well as a door anchor. You can use it to stretch, build muscle and do classic Pilates exercises. Note: it comes with a height restriction of 5.2-5.8ft.
