A Quality Treadmill Is Worth The Extra Money
(My Experience
Shopping for a Treadmill)
The treadmill at the health club was a
quality
treadmill, a
sophisticated device that provided a wealth of information about my speed, time,
how many calories I was burning and even my heart rate. But going to the health club
for my workout was a problem. In order to get quick access to the exercise machines I wanted to
use, I had to schedule my exercise at 6 a.m., when the club opened its doors.
Even then, I couldn’t be sure I would have quick access to the machines I
wanted to use. For the money I had to spend at the fitness health club, I decided to
could buy my own treadmill. But, I certainly didn’t need one of the best treadmills
the health club used. Right?
I Wanted to Save Money and Bought a Cheap,
Basic Model
So, I went to the local discount fitness equipment store and
bought a treadmill. It was not one of the treadmills as they had at the
fitness health
club. Not by a long shot. It didn’t have all of the best, quality features of the health
club treadmill. I didn’t really need all of that, I told myself. All I needed
was a basic treadmill for my workout routine. At least so I thought.
I Went Through Three Treadmills Within a
Few Months
I used the inexpensive treadmill for less than 90 days. It
quit working. The treadmill motor burned up. I took it back to the store. They replaced it
under the warranty program. The replacement treadmill didn’t last as long as
the first one. Again, the treadmill motor burned out. By this time I was really missing
the treadmill at the health club. The mass merchandiser store replaced the
treadmill a second time. The third one didn’t last any longer than the first
two. I gave up. I didn’t even bother to take it back to the store. I went to a
health equipment outlet and bought a treadmill from a
brand name fitness
equipment company.
Sole Folding and Non-Folding Treadmills
Quality Components Make All the Difference
There are many reasons to buy the best exercise equipment you
can get. First,
treadmills made by top of the line fitness equipment companies are designed for use.
The best treadmill motor is big enough to handle the load of driving the tread under the weight of the
pounding of a runner or the lighter tread of a walker. The
better treadmills have a
number of quality features, including durability shock absorbing decks, thicker treads,
stronger sprockets turning the treads, more powerful treadmill motors and better designed
fans to cool the motors so they do not overheat.
I Could Have Saved a Bundle
by Purchasing a Quality Machine in the First
Place
Quality machines are often less expensive than cheap
treadmills because of the years of service that they will give. Furthermore,
treadmills purchased from reputable, established fitness equipment companies have treadmill parts and
service that further support the long life of better machines and help reduce
the cost. The treadmill that I have now has given me several years of good,
trouble free service with near daily use. In the long run, this treadmill has
been far more reliable and far less expensive than the cheap treadmills I found
at the mass merchant.
