I had an email from a Karen Watts asking about how cheap is a bargain. She has seen a new treadmill from a company that has name related to a city in the north.

These low range cheap new treadmills will not last and will brake very quickly if used for more than a few hours a week. Like every thing in life you get what you pay for and a good used treadmill from a leading brand like Precor, Technogym, Startrac have been designed to get a real abuse in commercial gyms. These machines are built to last and perform.

Your cheap treadmill on the high street is designed for home use and for the person that will perhaps use it for a few hours max a week. One year on and ask will they be going strong ????

I always compare used fitness equipment to cars, a 50k BMW is still a 50k BMW after 5 years, built to last using top quality parts and will give many years of service.  Where as a new cheap Ford will just not compare.

Think about it.
