12488195, Anybody own a treadmill? Recommendations? Horror stories? Posted by John Forte, Fri Jun-20-14 02:17 PM
Thinking about taking the plunge, but I'm worried about maintenance. I just can't make it to the gym like I used to, and running outside at night is WPS.

this guy in my neighborhood is on his every Saturday and Sunday morning. We almost crashed when we saw him the first time. What makes it even more crazy is dude rocks a wrestling singlet while on this thing. Yes he is Caucasian.

12847868, get a concept 2 rower or skierg Posted by J_Stew, Tue Jul-07-15 07:15 PM
both are around $1100-1200 including shipping and are incredible conditioning tools, with zero impact. I have a skierg at home and I love it. You can mount it to the wall or buy the platform and attach it to that, and then it rolls around. The rowers can be stood up against the wall when not in use as well(If space is a concern).

12848669, See I ain't about to drop a stack for none of this. two gyms around the Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Jul-08-15 02:42 PM
corner. I was considering it because I can be given a nice one and was wondering if it's worth taking up the space.

We have an elliptical. It acts as a clothes hanger.
We also have 3 gym memberships that we actually use.
I liked my elliptical and I still use it from time to time, but honestly its collecting dust.

I do hiit and shit, but it's not going to take the place of a treadmill

12847972, there is one in my house Posted by luminous, Tue Jul-07-15 10:50 PM
hasn't been used in years. probably over a decade...
i used it once... was really loud when I ran, so didn't use it again. i would recommend putting it in the basement.

12848647, Got an elliptical Posted by After_Words, Wed Jul-08-15 02:34 PM
Easier on the knees. Like most people here, it collects dust every now and then. However, you seem like you're motivated to run so that shouldn't be an issue for you.
