Humans are funny guys, aren’t they?
As soon as it starts to get hot, everyone starts thinking about getting in shape. Unfortunately for some of us, a gym is out of the question, not only because of the time constraints aspects, but also because of the amount of money a gym membership costs today.
So in this article I will give you some tips on how to get a home gym on a budget. Now I’m talking about a home gym, I’m not talking about some fancy Bowflex it’s Total Gym. Although, there are ways to get those types of home gyms without spending a fortune. Unfortunately, there is some risk involved.
For this article, let’s limit ourselves to some of the ways to find a low-cost home gym or even cheap exercise equipment.
To get a home gym on a budget, you may have to settle for buying a used or out-of-stock unit. To find a used home gym, one of the best places to go is Craigslist. You should be careful with Craigslist as there are some scams on that site.
Another place online that you can check would of course be eBay. EBay offers you protection against a possible scam if you use your PayPal card. Another place you can go to is a website called Gumtree.
The only problem with the used home gym is, of course, that many times you don’t get any warranty. So if a week later your home gym falls apart, you’re out of luck.
Another way to get a home gym on a budget is to look in the classifieds section of your local newspaper. In some areas there is a publication called “Want Ads Press”. This is a great place to start looking for used exercise equipment offline. All previous caveats or caveats apply here as well.
Beware of scams, scams and if the equipment doesn’t work, you’re out of luck!
Getting a home gym on a budget can be challenging, as you’ve seen.
In my opinion, there is a better solution than used home gyms. And that’s to look for manufacturer sales or when they are liquidating older models. The main benefit is that you would still get a warranty on the product and they can even provide free shipping. Don’t discount the value of free shipping, as when purchasing a used home gym, you’ll typically need to rent a van or pickup truck to pick up these units. This is in addition to the cost of getting a home gym.
