Also, the same argument could be made against buying excercise equipment. For many people, treadmills or exercycles quickly become expensive coatracks. Cubit wrote: 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? (Luna works in the field.) "JJ_Red" wrote in message ... 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. "JJ_Red" wrote in message ... 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. |
