Start your January fitness goals with Walmart's Christmas sale.

Walmart is offering the Echelon Connect Bike for $497. That's $102 off, the same price we saw on Black Friday. In addition, this purchase comes with a free 6-month membership to the Echelon Fit app worth $120 and features hundreds of live and on-demand classes. This is one of the best after-Christmas sales we've seen today.

During the pandemic, with so many people working out more at home, having one of the best exercise bikes is key to staying fit and healthy. The Echelon Connect Bike is an attractive and affordable Wal-Mart exclusive alternative to the Peloton.

The magnetic flywheel offers 32 levels of resistance and the pedal toe cages are fully adjustable for a secure fit. The Connect Bike's oversized cushioned seat and padded handlebar make for a comfortable ride.

As mentioned in our Peloton vs. Echelon showdown, the Echelon bike does not have a large HD screen like the Peloton, but it can easily be paired with a smartphone or tablet that you already own.

The after-Christmas deal comes with a free six-month membership to the Echelon Fit app, which features more than 1,600 live and on-demand classes taught by professional instructors. Classes can be filtered by instructor, length, music, language, and more. You can also take beginner rides or more challenging endurance tests. There is also a library of non-bike workouts, including yoga, barre, Pilates, strength training, and Zumba.

If paying thousands of dollars for a Peloton is out of your budget, the Echelon Connect is a great option for bringing the best home gym equipment to your home.
