Just months after mayhem ensued over Aldi's viral Pilates machine, the supermarket has announced a comprehensive range of fitness equipment, with items starting at £3.99.
Available from this Thursday, the retailer's new collection draws inspiration from popular fitness competitions like Hyrox, which have gained significant traction on social media.
The "must-have" collection encompasses strength training equipment, recovery accessories, and exercise mats, targeting customers seeking affordable alternatives to premium gym gear.

Products will appear in stores from August 21 as part of Aldi's Specialbuys programme, meaning "once they're gone, they're gone".
The launch coincides with growing interest in home fitness solutions, offering equipment typically found in commercial gyms at substantially reduced prices for home use.
The strength training selection features a 12m battle rope weighing 8.4kg, priced at £26.99.
This "state-of-the-art" equipment targets core muscles and arms while providing cardiovascular benefits.
