3 Items of Home Fitness Equipment for Under £1,300

When it comes to purchasing fitness equipment to build a home gym most of us get confused as to what we really need, also we assume a bill of thousands of pounds. Below is an outline of the 3 best types of fitness equipment (treadmill, multi gyms & cross trainer) you need to build a successful home gym all for under £1,300 which in an economic recession is fantastic. If you assume the equipment will last in your home for at least 10 years £1,300 works out at £10.83 per month. You find me a monthly gym member ship

Treadmills

A Treadmill will allow you to walk, jog and run which will vastly improve your cardio ability. Treadmills are becoming increasingly popular and because of reduced manufacturing costs it means you can purchase a home use treadmill for under £450.

Treadmill Quick Tips:  

1. Ensure the treadmill you purchase does NOT have “return to base warranty” this means you will have to return the treadmill to the manufacturer whilst it’s being repaired.
2. The motor power must be at least 1.5 horsepower, anything less shouldn’t be on the market in my opinion.
3. Try the treadmill before you buy it, find a retailer that lets you try out a treadmill in a showroom or warehouse

Multi Gyms

Multi gyms are fantastic because they allow you to perform many different weight resistant workouts on one machine. The good news is you can purchase a decent multi gym for under £500

Multi Gym Quick Tips: 

1. Ensure the Multi Gym has a weight stack you cant lift, if the weight stack maximum weight stack is a lot lighter then how can you expect to build muscle (if that is your primary goal).
2. Make sure the warranty covers parts such as frame, covers, welds and upholstery. The brand Body Solid offer great warranties on their multi gyms.
3. Make sure the multigym will fit in your house, this may seem obvious but it’s a common mistake made by the consumer, get all dimensions of the multi gym before you order one.
4. Does the company offer installation of the Multi Gym, some multi gym models may be time consuming or difficult to install, so make sure the company you are purchasing this from offers and installation service.

 Cross Trainers 

Cross trainers complete the home gym because they provide an all round cardio similar to a treadmill but at the same time help tone your upper and lower body. A cross trainer has limited parts compared to a treadmill, making it less expensive to manufacture and also less expensive on the shop floor. You can now purchase a decent home elliptical trainer for under £350

Elliptical Cross Trainer Quick Tips: 

1. Make sure you can adjust the stride length, this is important if you are a lot taller or shorter compared to the average person
2. Maximum workload, if you are fit then make sure the cross trainer can work as hard as you do, if the maximum load is low then look for a cross trainer that can take more. Load is measured in watts and you should look for at least 250 watts.
3. Make sure the warranty offered is at least 2 years parts and labour.

In Summary 

In summary make sure you look for a comfortable piece of equipment, if possible try it at a showroom before you purchase. Always look for a good product warranty and make sure the equipment is right for you.
