Advice on Buying a Treadmill
 
I am looking to purchase a treadmill and am I tired of looking. From what I
can see, the cheaper the narrow the tread and the less apt to get any kind
of warranty. And the better ones start at 900.00 and up. Can any one offer
me any advice on brands and models. I have nearly narrowed it down to a
Reebok or NordicTrack. Both come with a decent warranty.

I've got good advice. Go outside. Endless track out there, as wide as
you want it.

But if he is anything like me once winter hits outside is a 4 letter word ;)

if you are unsure what you want look in the local trading post type paper or
go and look on freecycle, pick something from there and see if it is what
you like, write down pluses and minuses and then when your cheap/free one
dies you will have a better idea. In fact if I get another treadmill this
is where I will go first. The first one I got was $50.00 and I used it
actively for about a year before it died. Lee

Or in the case of this area, summer is bad too. Knats that suck blood, 95%
humidity and 95 degrees at 6:30 in the morning......

Matter of fact, I believe I shall go wash off said knats as opposed to
sitting here donating blood while checking out this newsgroup....

Bottom line, do something. Just because it isn't comfortable every day
doesn't make it impossible.

Quite a few years ago I bought a Precor 9.1 for $1500 and have never
been sorry. I know they don't have this model anymore, as I said, it
was years ago. Treadmills have a weight limit that you might want to
check on. the limit on my Precor is 250 lbs. Be sure to buy from a
reputable place that has a long business history.
I live in a brutal weather area so a treadmill in the basement is a
blessing.

Why not get a YMCA membership?

When you get bored with it, you can cancel and save a lot of money.

Yeah, I know. Perhaps I was being a bit too harsh. It's currently in
the 90s where I am on the East Coast, with some humidity to boot. I'm
just glad I have a gym membership....

Nah not too harsh.. trust me if I could find 5$ sitting arround today i
would go to the gym myself.. Jeff asked me not to go for the daily walk
because there is a air quality advisory today... not that I know what good
that will do as we dont have air conditioning anyway... Looks like 6 miles
is my weekly tally this week :(
