A Weighty Subject: As Gyms Remain Closed, Barbells Reach Top Of Amazon Best Sellers
- 4 years ago
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 has shuttered businesses around the world, including fitness clubs.
But according to Business Insider, Pelotons aren't the only workout equipment in high demand as people turn to working out at home.
On Amazon, a pair of neoprene-coated dumbbells has risen to the top ranks of best sellers in the sports and outdoor category.
What's more, every weight category of dumbbells, from one pound to twenty pounds, has already sold out.
And while workout wear Lululemon reported an overall drop in sales, it did see a healthy increase in online orders.
Experts say the demand is likely to remain steady for some time.
