I've been running since I was 18. I *have* a gym membership, but only
because it's cheap and through my employer, and the weather is just too
****ty here to go running outside sometimes.

Once I move back to the San Francisco Bay Area (less that 6 weeks to
go!), I'm not going to be rejoining a gym. It will be totally
unnecessary at that point.

I will say when I get some more dough and some room in my home, I
wouldn't mind having a stationary bike or a treadmill.

Reebok website lists treadmills from $800 to $1300.

Wouldn't the YMCA have been cheaper?

While some people can stick with exercise forever, like maybe JC. Most
people go through an exercise phase, that might last a month. They give it
a good try, then they stop. I've seen it happen. That is why gyms want to
sell you a full year contract. The gyms know most customers will only come
for a month or two. If they sold gym memberships by the week, they would
make much less money....

Hey Luna,
Am I right, or what?

I thank all of you for your advice. I will be only walking. I decided to
get
a Reebok because I got a real deal. I will use it a lot so I needed
something sturdy with a decent warranty. Plus a I got discount on an
extended warranty.

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.
