Why We Love This Deal
If you’ve not followed through on your January fitness goals, don’t worry, a February start is often better. Public gyms start to have fewer patrons, and the best home workout gear starts to get some serious discounts. If you're still trying to build a routine at home, one of the better pieces you could use is this popular 5-in-1 weight set that Walmart is selling at over 55% off.
The Upgo 90-Pound Free Weight Set is now on sale for $90. It’s right at that $1 per pound benchmark for weights that we, at Men’s Journal, tend to use as an unofficial rule of thumb. With this set, you can choose to train the way you want—with a barbell, a kettlebell, or a dumbbell, loading up to 45 pounds on each side. This should be more than enough for at-home workouts. All you need after this is consistency.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Materials: Alloy steel, iron, and polyethylene
- Weights Included: 3.5 lbs. x 4, 4.5 lbs. x 4, 6.5 lbs. X 4, 7.5 lbs. X 4
- Accessories Included: Dumbbell bar x 2, barbell connector x 1, kettlebell handle x 2, kettlebell base rod x 1, fixed nut x 4
- Use Cases: This set can be used for push-ups as well as barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, and weight plate exercises for a wide variety of training routines.
The key here is that this set allows for extreme flexibility in your workouts. It comes with 16 weight plates, ranging from 3.5 pounds up to 7.5 pounds, allowing for fine-tuned control over your workout. There’s no need or pressure to jump up your weights by 10 or 15 pounds suddenly, risking injury, because you don’t want to buy too many solid dumbbells, kettlebells, etc.
And, the variety of workouts with this kit is quite good, too. The included accessories make this essentially a free weight gym in a box. At one moment, you get the advantages of the best adjustable dumbbells, while the next, you can go for Mr. Olympia’s kettlebell squats. You can also use the set for barbells, grippable weight plates, and use the end handles as push-up grips.

Another shopper mentioned that the set was good for their own path to better upper-body strength. They pointed out the set’s “reasonable weight ratio,” so you “can gradually increase the training intensity.”
