Treadmills have been around a long time. For the home gym it is a great piece of fitness equipment. One can take a walk so to speak at anytime of the day or night. It does not matter what kind of weather mother nature chooses to throw your way, you can still take your walk in the comfort of your home.
There are many ways to find a treadmill for your home gym if you want to go used. Ads in your local paper, or perhaps your radio station has some kind of local trader or advertiser. You can go online and try places like ebay. When buying used, you have to be very careful about the condition of the treadmill. When you buy used, most of the time an item will be as is. Meaning you buy it without warranty or other means of help if it does not work properly.
I personally think that fitness equipment for the home gym should be bought new. But even then a person needs to consider a lot of different things:
Your price range – The better treadmills all run about $1,000 and up.
User weight – If any user might be over 200 lb, you need to pay closer attention to the motor, frame and deck.
Tread belts – The better machines have a diagonal seam in the belt and the belt has a lot tighter weave and is 20 inches wide.
Brand – You do not want to pick your fitness equipment based on brand name. Do your home work and find what suits your home gym, price range and training goals.
