 The exercise machine should have a minimum 1 year warranty on parts and labor.
The market for exercise machines is worth billions of dollars and growing exponentially. An astounding number of gadgets out there, and associated infomercials claim to transform your pudgy abs into washboard abs with "virtually no effort on your part." Unfortunately, the only thing that they're likely to do is reduce is the balance in your checking account, not your scale.
Look for a machine that is backed up by its manufacturer.
Learn how to evaluate 'as seen on TV' advertisements. Let's face it,everything looks better on TV, but you have no way of judging the quality of an exercise machine or gadget. When you watch exercise machine ads on TV, keep the following tips in mind:
1. If the advertisement claims that you can tone up while lying in bed reading a book, watching TV or on the phone, please ignore it. This is the catch phrase used by advertisers to sell to unsuspecting customers.
2. Watch out for the phrase "guaranteed or your money back." Always look for the fine print. The manufacturers may promise that you'll lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks, if you follow the program.This leaves room for denial of refunds, under the premise that 'you failed to follow a low fat diet and exercise program'.
3. Be wary of hard sell phrases like "three easy payments." One gadget claims to cost "Not $80! Not $60!" but "just 3 easy payments of $14.95." When you add the shipping & handling, and it costs $54.95.
4. A good exercise machine and exercise equipment does not need to be backed up by expert endorsements.
5. Do not be impressed if a product was awarded a U.S. Patent. To get a US patent, one needs an original idea, not necessarily a good one.
6. Avoid manufacurers that tend to discredit other exercise machines and exercise equipment.
7. Never try and buy exercise equipment alone, especially when you are tired, sad or vulnerable. It's like going grocery shopping when you are hungry.Shop when you are feeling your best, preferably with a friend, so you can make the right decision without being affected by the hype.

THE 3 KEYS TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT EXERCISE MACHINE.
1. Understand what your goal is (fat loss = treadmill, toning the abdominals = ab exercise machine, knee problems = schwinn fitness cycle).
2. Choose the right manufacturer for your exercise machine. Personally, I prefer schwinn exercise bikes, pace exercise equipment and proform exercise equipment.
3. Ask yourself if you can use the machine regularly, and if you are comfortable using it. Also, make sure that the manufacturer provides a minimum of a 30 day money-back guarantee on the product.
Choosing the right exercise machine can make the difference between an average routine and an excellent one. Good luck with your exercise machine selection! This is an important decision, and you need to consider all pros and cons before you make a decision. There is no single factor that can help you decide, but a combination of factors. Take your time, make notes and ask several questions before you decide on the exercise machine that's right for you! |
