I bought a Nordic Track from the Sears Save Shop years ago and have
been happy with it. Sears loves to sell extended warranties also tocover what you buy. When I say save shop it is the clearance store in my part of the world. Indiana and I am not sure if they have thm in other states but would guess they do. Sears online also has a clearance section and I do find Excersise equip there at times. |

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. |

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 don't know. I don't work in membership at the Y, I work in childcare.
But, I've heard a bit about it on a local consumer advocate radio show, Clark Howard. He often warns people against signing gym membership contracts. He says, and I agree with him, any gym which requires a contract does not want you to exercise, they just want your money. They count on lots of people not coming. If everyone who had a membership came on the same day, the gym would be too crowded and they'd have to send people away. I know at our Y, if a member hasn't come in a while, they'll get a call or an email asking them why they haven't been, and to please come back.

Have you tried eBay or (even better) garage sales? People often use those for a short time and then sell them very cheap while they are still in mint condition (almost never used, in some cases).

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. Cubit wrote: Reebok website lists treadmills from $800 to $1300.
