Get a Better Workout on a New Treadmill

May 2, 2010 by

Its not hard to make the go around with every piece of equipment a gym has to offer because you want a little variety in your weight loss efforts. Essentially this is the best way to get the most from the gym by keeping you mind focused on something else so you get done faster, seemingly. Of course this is why the gym will play loud music and such over the speakers along with the televisions. With all this in mind the very last thing you should be worried about is the machine you are using.

There is a small difference in popularity from machine to machine but typically the treadmills and stationary bikes are the most popular although the elliptical’s are getting to be more so. Unfortunately the gym doesn’t usually allocate budget to truning over the equipment every 3 years. In my gym it has been 7 years since a new set of equipment has been brought in.

The price on the equipment is usually pretty large; nicer machines will have a price tag north of $4,000 and will last for several years at a time. If the gym wanted to get new equipment every 3 or 4 years it would cost almost $100,000 to get it done, so usually they just lease them. After the lease they are sold to us, the public, as used treadmills, used bikes etc. In a really high end gym the lease may not exceed 5 years, but in most they are between 5 and 10.

Mixed in with the new equipment you will always see older slightly neglected models mixed in. A lot of people are of the mindset that a gym is a gym and that any machine can give you a great cardio workout whether you are on a new or a used treadmill. You need all the help you can get which is why there is a difference between new and used treadmills.

Damage to the joints can be reduced if the motor is newer or if the treadmill platform has better support. New treadmills are easier to use which makes them more popular, meaning you can feel better about how you fit into the gym atmosphere. At the gym the name of the game is buring calories, not dealing with half busted machines, so find the new treadmills or new stationary bikes and do what you can to get on them.

New are different than the used treadmills you need to find out why, visit Jon Geo’s site on how to choose the best treadmills for sale for your gym or home needs.
