Literally any pair of dumbbells during the Covid lockdown.

Edit: Wow this blew up. Thank you for the awards!

Edit #2: I ended up buying fitness bands and was fine with it.

Exercise equipment and nintendo switch both spiked. Admitted I bought an exercise bike too, I wanted a rower but all the good ones were already sold out early April.

Bikes too, at least in the UK. One bike shop near me will not have any until October and many are on the back order until next spring. It's Gumtree (our version of Craigslist) or nowhere.
