Hi All,
I need to be fit again and lose some weight starting on my stomach area. I work crazy hours and can't go to the gym as its far from my place plus timing and being lazy.
I've been thinking of buying a treadmill and got a budget of $400-500. The treadmill should have blood pressure or pulse monitor and the delivery man can take it up to our bed room upstairs.
Pls help me find a deal. I looked at eBay and there are many cheap models but I don't know if they are reliable.
Hello there,
For that budget, I dont think you will have a look at any threadmill and think to yourself that the machine will be able to handle your weight and last forever.
I am afraid,at that price range, unless you are buying a 2nd hand commercial fitness equipment, you cant find anything too fancy.
Have a proper budget around $1,200 - $1,800, you will get a good and long lasting one.
I bought several threadmill at your price range, they broke down after several months and the repair cost just doest add up, after you consider depreciation, you are better off buying another one.
These days, any threadmill machine will have a pulse monitor, no probs, but they are rarely accurate.
I suggest you get a polar HRM, it will give you a better measurement.
Cheers.
