Gyms are usually packed at the start of the year when everyone is trying to shed the weight they gained over the holidays, but if you’d like to work out within your own home to stay safe, there are many fitness deals that are available for different kinds of physical activity. For example, if you love the burn that you feel from the rowing machine, Best Buy is offering a $250 discount on the Hydrow Connected Rower, bringing its price down to $1,995 from its original price of $2,245.

The Hydrow Connected Rower makes you feel like you’ve joined a rowing team, with a computer-controlled electromagnetic drag mechanism that mimics the feeling of rowing on water, and adjustable resistance to match your preferred setting. The rowing machine is unlike those with noisy chains and fans, as it keeps quiet so you can enjoy the music that you’re playing or to listen to your digital instructors.

The digital instructors are part of why the Hydrow Connected Rower is a smart rowing machine, as a Hydrow subscription will give you 24-hour access to classes in the form of live broadcasts or pre-recorded rowing sessions. The machine features a 22-inch HD touchscreen monitor, where your personal data and progress toward your fitness goals are displayed, as well as the instructors and athletes who will be rowing with you digitally.

The beautiful locations shown by the Hydrow Connected Rower may be the next best thing to riding a boat in real rivers, with the rowing machine’s Hi-Fi speakers releasing sounds of birds, running water, and the rhythm of your strokes. With durability that’s tested to last over 3 million cycles, you’ll be able to travel the world on the Hydrow Connected Rower.

If you miss your gym’s rowing machine, you can have your own with the Hydrow Connected Rower, which will help you burn more calories with your home workouts. The smart rowing machine is available on Best Buy for $1,995, after a $250 discount to its original price of $2,245, in a deal that may be too good to ignore for fitness enthusiasts. There’s no telling how long the deal will last though, so if you’ve already imagined integrating the Hydrow Connected Rower into your daily exercise, you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

Best Buy is selling the Google Pixel 7 Pro at $350 off

Two Google Pixel 7 Pro smartphones.

If you need a new Android smartphone and you don't mind going for an older model, you may want to check out Best Buy's offer for the Google Pixel 7 Pro. The device's 256GB model, originally priced at $999, is currently available for only $649. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this $350 discount, and since phone deals for Google Pixel devices almost always sell out pretty quickly, you'll have to complete your purchase immediately if you're interested in this bargain.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel 7 Pro
The Google Pixel 9 Pro holds the spot as the best Android phone runner-up in our list of the best Android phones, but its 2022 version, the Google Pixel 7 Pro, remains a worthwhile purchase to this day. The Google Tensor G2 chip that powers the device delivers fast and efficient performance that's capable of challenging the speed of the current generation of smartphones, and its 6.7-inch OLED touchscreen with 3120 x 1440 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness up to 1,500 nits is still one of the most gorgeous displays on a mobile device.

Best Buy knocks $250 off this TP-Link mesh router system

TP-Link BE11000

If you're the type of person who uses a lot of smart home devices, then you know the pain that comes along with not having the best Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Wi-Fi dead spots can be a really big problem, even with the best routers, which is why a mesh router can be a great alternative. If you're thinking of grabbing a mesh router system, then the TP-Link BE11000 is a really solid option, especially since this deal from Best Buy knocks a whopping $250 off the price tag of $800 for a pack of three.

Why you should buy the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Mesh System
One of the most impressive things about the TP-Link BE11000 is that it can cover a truly massive area of 7,600 square feet, making it great for larger homes as well, especially given those tend to have the biggest issue with Wi-Fi dead spots. Another big benefit is that it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is actually pretty rare these days, especially for mesh routers, but you do get better connectivity, lower latency, and the ability to connect up to 200 devices. Also, for those who are VPN users, it supports both VPN servers and clients, meaning you just need to install the VPN on the mesh router and not on every device in your home.

Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.
