This Black Friday before you scoop up an 85-inch TV for $299 or panic-buy gifts for people you barely see, take the opportunity to invest in yourself with the home gym you keep saying you’ll build.

RitFit is already dropping big deals on heavy-duty home gym gear during its Early Bird Black Friday sale. If you want to get serious about your health and wellness, this is the equipment you need.  We’re not talking resistance bands with delusions of grandeur. This sale includes major markdowns on pro-grade equipment like the BUFFALO Smith Machine, the M1 PRO, leg press machines, adjustable benches, and classic rubber hex dumbbell sets.

Want some extra leverage to increase your savings? RitFit gear is healthcare eligible so you can take advantage of those already slashed prices and use your HSA or FSA account, saving up to 30% more.

Most people waste those tax-advantaged dollars on overpriced ankle braces or eight boxes of knee tape. Not you, though. With RitFit, you will be using your pre-tax health funds to build a legit home setup. Skip waiting for New Years’ to get an elite gym membership, throw a squat rack in your garage and you’ll never need to hear someone grunt through deadlifts on a Zoom call again.

How it works

At checkout, choose Truemed as your payment option. You’ll be prompted to fill out a short, private health survey. If you qualify, a licensed provider will issue a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). Then you’re cleared to use your HSA or FSA card to finish the purchase and submit your receipt and LMN to your HSA or FSA provider.

And yes, this is 100% above board.

The result? You’re getting some of the best gear of the year, discounted for Black Friday, and then you’re pumping up the savings even more using funds you’ve already set aside. You’re clever and now soon-to-be jacked without leaving the comfort of your home.

So, if you’re entering the FSA “use-it-or-lose-it” conundrum, or you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally replace that rickety bench with something that won’t kill your PR, this is it. Use the system the smart way and walk into 2026 with a setup built to last.

From wheelchair to walking: The power of mindset, movement, and never giving up
Sometimes it's the hardest roads that lead us to a deeper sense of purpose

I never expected I'd have to learn how to walk again. That journey took me from writing for doctors and magazines to spending thousands of hours researching health and autoimmune disease. When we have excellent health, many of us don’t give it much thought until those sneaky symptoms start to show, and one day it all comes crashing down. Now, our health becomes one of the most important priorities. When we feel good, we can be more productive and chase our dreams. When our health declines and we don’t feel so good, one of our biggest dreams is just to feel better. 

I became a health writer 12 years ago, shortly after graduating with my creative writing degree and getting a diagnosis of the autoimmune bone condition, ankylosing spondylitis. In an effort to improve my health, stay mobile, and help prevent my bones from calcifying and fusing, I spent thousands of hours studying everything from nutrition and naturopathy to conventional medicine and holistic healing. I heard this somewhere, so I can’t take credit, but I like to say I went to “save my ass university”, because pain and illness are some of the biggest motivators.

I tried Magic Mind for a month and here is what happened to my productivity
Does Magic Mind really help with your productivity or is it just another buzz.
Furniture, Business Card, Paper

I am proudly an all-brown beverage man. I say it often: I am coffee in the morning, bourbon in the evening, and Pepsi/Coke in between. I know what you're thinking: What about water? Well, all of those are mostly water. And who wants to drink the same thing they bathe in? That sounds gross. All jokes aside, the coffee addiction is real, and I am not alone. Who thinks they can truly conquer a day without a hard shot of caffeine? I would get it in an IV if it were feasible to do on the subway instead of a cup to go. But that doesn't have to be the only way you develop your productivity. Instead, you can look to the more natural and healthy methods to maintain and increase your effectiveness. I got my hands on some Magic Mind recently, one of the many different products that claim to elevate brain health, increase mental performance, and, of course, replace the coffee without losing the energy boost. But does it work?

NOBULL debuts new colorways for daily running shoe, Journey 2
Four new colorways just dropped for NOBULL's best-selling Journey 2 sneaker
NOBULL

NOBULL's Journey 2 sneaker is one of my favorite go-to sneakers for the gym (and my husband's, too). There's really something to be said about a sneaker that adds comfort, style, and durability to your gym outfit. I've been wearing these weekly for awhile now -- but now NOBULL has dropped even more fun colors in the same comfortable show. Just in time for the summer, NOBULL just dropped four new colorways in the Journey 2, including Classic White Cayenne, Classic White Signal Pink, Lunar Mineral White, and Blue Haze. These fun, vibrant colors add a touch of color to every gym outfit.

With a plate-less design, Journey 2 delivers a naturally smooth, cushioned ride. A multi-surface outsole provides reliable grip across varied terrain, while NOBULL’s unique stability chassis keeps your foot locked in through every stride and transition, so you can move freely wherever the miles take you. While I'm not usually one to make a statement with my athletic footwear, I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the drop of these new colors. The four new colors join the line up that still includes the classic colors, such as Classic White, Jet Black, and Molten.
