Let’s Move! Functional Fitness Gear You Can Thrift for Less

With warm summer weather on the way, now’s a great time to take your fitness journey outside. Don’t worry, working out doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. Simply moving your body by walking, dancing, skipping rope, or even rollerblading is excellent exercise — and there’s no gym required!

Check out these fitness items you can often find for less at your local Goodwill thrift store in Cincinnati:

#1: Athletic Wear & Accessories

When it comes to workout attire, wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident! In the summer months, that might include stretchy shorts or leggings, tank tops, t-shirts, and baseball caps.

A good pair of tennis shoes or sneakers is highly recommended for outdoor activities. Visit your local Goodwill thrift store often — you never know what gently used (or even new!) athletic wear you may find! 

#2: Reusable Water Bottle

If you’re working out, you need to stay hydrated. Instead of a single-use plastic water bottle, choose a reusable bottle you can refill again and again! It’s a sustainable choice that provides convenience when you’re on the go.

Browse a Ohio Valley Goodwill store near you for reusable water bottles in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Our selection is always updated as we receive new donations, so check back often!

#3: Weights, Strength Bands, and Fitness Equipment

Brand-new fitness equipment can be expensive, at least at traditional retail stores. The good news is that you don’t need to spend a ton to reap the rewards of fitness. 

Check your nearest Cincinnati Goodwill store for gently used fitness equipment and accessories such as weights, resistance bands, jump ropes, and even sports equipment like roller blades or golf clubs. With our everyday low prices, you can start building your own home gym in no time!
