How to Choose Fitness & Cardio equipment

FOR HOME AND COMMERCIAL USE

For some people, choosing a home based gym or a treadmill is like buying a car. There are compact home gym's and treadmills, mid-sized home gym's and treadmills and even the luxury options that require quite a bit of space but give you the ability to cross your arms and smugly tell your friends about your new home gym, treadmill and exercise bike, "That there piece of fitness equipment is the exact same model you pay $100 a month to wait in line to use over at the gym in town."

How can you possibly navigate through the countless options of treadmills, home gyms, exercise bikes and fitness equipment available without losing your mind? Unlike cars, where you can slip into the driver's seat, pull out onto the highway and take it for a comfortable spin, the right gym equipment and home gym requires more than a short sit-down to determine whether it is worth the investment. There is budget to consider, space, the type of workouts you'll be performing, and many other factors that will contribute to the choice between a $50 weight bench with some adjustable dumbbells and a cheap jump rope or a thousand dollar multi home gym, treadmill and exercise bike that takes up the corner of your new "gym room or personal training studio" and has more exercises available than you have hours to try them out.

The best place to start sorting through your options is usually located in one your pockets - your wallet. Just as someone with a $10,000 budget isn't going to stroll onto a luxury car lot to seriously consider making a purchase, the type of fitness equipment you will consider for your home gym or commercial gym equipment use will vary depending on the cash you have ready to spend. If you only have a few dollars to spend on fitness equipment, for example, you'll spend your time comparing inexpensive items like medicine balls, Swiss balls, ab swing, yoga mats, sit up bench, leg master, orbitrack, cheap dumbbells and perhaps a weight bench or step platform that can be tucked away in the corner. Those with a larger budget and more space will obviously begin to consider more elaborate fitness equipment that provides additional options and hundreds of exercises including leg press, 45 degree leg press, preacher curl, arm curl, lat pulldown, seated row, tricep pushdown, cable crossover, assisted pull ups, assisted dips, boxing bag rack, calf raise, rear delt, and many more.

At the lowest level of investment, your options are push-ups, sit-ups, and attending free prosperity seminars until your financial situation changes. Increase your budget a bit more ($20 - $100) to allow for a variety of options. For resistance training, you can consider light weight dumbbells, cheap weight bench, and even resistance bands. You can also grab a popular Swiss ball, yoga mat and ab swing. These are great to store in the corner of a room on your main level so that even if you're not serious about working out, your guests think you do.

Consider throwing a few hundred at your passion for weight training and fitness in the comfort of your own home, and now you can start considering more serious home gym equipment and fitness equipment that ranges from weight benches, leverage home gyms, prospot fusion home gyms that adjust to incline and decline, a serious set of dumbbells (and maybe even weight racks to stack them on), or some of the newer systems that allow for a dozen or so exercises and then fold conveniently into a flat shape that often ends up forgotten and lost in the closet behind the tangle of work clothes and shoes.

A budget in the thousands is required to move into more of the top quality (and effective) home gym equipment. This includes the weight machines/fitness equipment that allow you to use cables, leg press, and heave large amounts of weights without the fear of it suddenly crashing and causing injury. This home gym equipment can provide more exercise variety and is often more durable and has more safety features. It does require a little extra space, however.
