Cheap Gym Equipment
If you want to buy cheap gym equipment for your home, you’ll usually regret it further down the line as you’ll probably end up buying something that’s not sturdy and not going to last. They say you get what you pay for and with gym equipment, that phrase couldn’t be more true. There are lots of ‘value’ treadmills, cross trainers, exercise bikes, rowing machines and vibration plates on the market today which won’t cost you very much but you should look out for the following which may not suit your requirements:
- You may have to assemble the gym equipment yourself which can be tricky to do. You need the right tools and knowledge to do it correctly.
- Is your cheap gym equipment motorised or self generating? For example, manual treadmills are generated by pushing your feet on the belt as you walk or run. These types of treadmills are very basic and you’ll usually get a lot of shaking from the machine while you run.
- With the motorised equipment, how fast can the drive belt go? Is the treadmill deck cushioned to help relieve stress on your joints? Is the deck short and narrow? The larger space you have to run, the better and safer your experience.
- Does your ‘value’ fitness equipment have a good selection of built in and user definable programmes to help you elevate your fitness levels and achieve your overall goals?
- Can you fold your cheap gym equipment for storage purposes?
- Is your ‘value’ running machine fitted with a safety clip to ensure the motor cuts out immediately should you experience problems on the equipment?
- Check that the maximum user weight is sufficient for your needs.
- Does your cheap gym equipment come with a manufacturers warranty?
- What happens if you buy your cheap gym equipment and a month in you realise that you wished you’d bought another type of fitness equipment.
