7 Best Costco Fitness Items That Are Worth Every Penny

When you think of Costco, bargain hot dogs and bulk toilet paper probably come to mind. But the warehouse store offers so much more — especially for those looking to save money in the fitness department.

GOBankingRates spoke with Costco superfans and workout fanatics to find out the best deals to up your gains. Here are seven Costco fitness items that experts and shoppers agree are worth every penny.

• Price: $999.97

Chris Pruitt, certified personal trainer and CEO of WorkoutHealthy, highly recommends this trainer bench.

“This versatile piece of equipment offers adjustable pulleys and weight stacks, making it perfect for strength training. Its multi-functional design allows for a wide range of exercises, making it a valuable addition to any home gym,” Pruitt said.

While the initial investment of almost $1,000 may seem high, it’s essentially an entire home gym set-up. Compared to the price of a gym membership or tons of pieces of equipment, it’s a deal.

• Price: $999.99

Another top pick from Pruitt is the ProForm Trainer 8.7 Treadmill.

“With a 7-inch high contrast display, a 2.75 CHP motor and a SpaceSaver design, this treadmill is ideal for various workout intensities,” he said. “It’s a great option for those seeking a reliable and space-efficient cardio machine.”

If you’re working with a smaller space, the treadmill’s compact design allows you to get your cardio in without dedicating an entire room to exercise equipment.

• Price: Varies

Cynthia Ford, a supershopper and receptionist at Arizona Health Insurance Brokers, loves Costco’s activewear selection.

“Costco offers a large selection of active wear for both men and women, some name brand, some ‘dupes,'” Ford explained. “Costco is selling essentially the same activewear as the ‘big brands’ are, except they are selling them for a fraction of the price. Unless someone is chasing brands, Costco is one of the best options for activewear as a fitness item.”

Because Costco’s stock is always changing, it’s best to check your local store to find out what deals on activewear are available now.

• Price: $23.99

Costco’s iconic in-house brand, Kirkland Signature, has protein bars that are a favorite among fitness enthusiasts. These bars have it all: 21-22 grams of protein, 3-10 grams of net carbs and 2 grams of sugar per serving, depending on the flavor — the one thing they don’t have is the high price of their name-brand competitors. 

• Price: $354.99

While not exclusively a fitness item, the Vitamix E320 Blender is a powerhouse for creating healthy smoothies, protein shakes and homemade energy bars. Its powerful motor can blend even the toughest ingredients, ensuring you get all the nutritional benefits from your fruits, vegetables and supplements.

The durability of Vitamix blenders means this investment can support your healthy lifestyle for years to come.

• Price: $29.99

Costco sells this high-quality vegan protein powder at an unbeatable price. With 21 grams of protein and 50 organic superfoods per serving, it’s an excellent option for muscle recovery and growth.

The bulk sizing means you won’t need to restock as frequently, saving both time and money in the long run — speaking of which, it can definitely help fuel you on your runs!

• Price: $32.99

If you’re looking to maximize your workout, ProSupps Mr. Hyde Signature Pre-Workout in Blue Razz flavor is where it’s at. Priced competitively at around $30 for a 72-serving tub, this pre-workout supplement gets you going with a blend of energy-boosting caffeine, muscle-building creatine monohydrate, endurance-enhancing beta-alanine and circulation-improving citrulline.

Besides, the taste makes you think you’re drinking a sugary treat. Win-win!
