Secrets to Buying Used Exercise Equipment They Don’t Want You to Know

Many people don’t realize that you can buy used exercise equipment that came from a commercial gym that blows away any home equipment you can buy on the market.

In this article I am going to peel back the myth to those TV infomercials promoting the newest home fitness equipment everything from treadmills to stair steppers to ellipticals.

What you don’t realize is that manufacturers know that on average the regular Joe who shells out their money for the newest fitness craze never really uses the equipment.

You buy your new treadmill or elliptical, setup the fitness equipment and use for a few days maybe even a week but after that all bets are off and the exercise equipment sits in the corner collecting dust. Manufacturers use that to their advantage producing inferior products that if used in a gym would break down in a week or less because they know they don’t need to make good equipment because if they really produced a quality product no one would pay the thousands of dollars for commercial grade quality.

You see commercial grade fitness equipment really means that the equipment is produced to run in a gym 24hours a day 365 days a year. The average piece of home gym equipment is made to last only a few years if used 1x to 2x a week less than 20minutes.

This is the main difference is price, you can get a new treadmill for the home for several hundred dollars where a commercial grade treadmill might run a thousand dollars or more because they are designed to be used every day and build to last years of heavy abuse.

Using the home gym more than once or two and you’ll have an expensive repair bill on your hands because the exercise equipment is made with less inferior components.

Knowing this you’ll never want to buy another piece of home gym equipment again but what if you don’t have a few thousand dollars to buy a health club quality exercise equipment, what do you do?
