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 knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV

Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.

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.

With AI being such a big driving force behind tech, you can find it in nearly everything nowadays. So, if you're looking for one of the best laptops on the market with Microsoft Copilot, then this Microsoft Surface Pro configuration is the way to go. In fact, you can even get a solid $200 discount on it from Best Buy, which knocks the price down to $1,300 from $1,500, making it quite an excellent pick if you're looking for something that's just as portable as a laptop but with more power.

Microsoft Surface Pro
Microsoft has started rolling out the latest 24H2 update for all Windows 11 PCs, especially ones with a Snapdragon X Elite chipset, which this tablet has. This new update makes Copilot+ laptops useful for AI with a lot of new features such as AI-powered Windows search, better photo manipulation tools in Paint and Photos, and the new "Click to Do," which gives you a contextual menu based on what is already on the screen. Besides these new AI features, the Snapdragon X Elite should easily handle most of your day-to-day and productivity tasks with relative ease.
