Is A Used Treadmill Worth It?
February 2nd, 2010 . by adminIf you are thinking of getting a used treadmill you need to take into consideration a number of factors that will find out the quality of the machine. In most cases, I would be very doubtful purchasing a used treadmill. Consider what treadmills are built for – to withstand the constant impact of walking or running. In the case of running, each impact is equivalent to 2.5x your body weight.
In addition, treadmill components are in constant motion. The treadmill motors, belts, bearings, rollers, etc. are continually moving and rotating. And for these reasons treadmills are the highest maintenance fitness equipment, much more than an elliptical trainer.
