Commercial Gyms
As mentioned before the cost of one piece of fitness equipment against the cost of gym membership can be a difficult decision to make. One thing to keep in mind is how accessible your fitness equipment will be. If it’s in your house can you easily get it out and have a few hours or will you be unmotivated to clear a room to actually use it? If you join a gym will you actually visit? Or will you slowly decide you have more and more important things to do.
There are benefits to becoming a gym member; you will have access to specialists at most gyms who can fully instruct you on how to use all the different kinds of fitness equipment located within as well as handing out tips and advice for your own health. An often overlooked disadvantage centres on how you interact with people. If you are someone who is very self conscious attending a gym may not be the best idea, some can be very busy and often filled with people who may, in comparison, appear much fitter than you. While it is always advisable to hold you head high in life and be proud of yourself and body, you should not suffer a motivation blow because of the people you are exercising with, if you feel you may experience such feelings purchasing your own fitness equipment may be a more preferable path. |

Treadmills and Weights-fittness Treadmills
Treadmills are one of the most versatile pieces of fitness equipment on the market; they are ideal for family use and offer a balanced and easily adjustable exercise regime that improves all round fitness as well as increasing the health and effectiveness of your heart. Walking and running are widely regarded as one of the most natural and effective forms of exercise and by purchasing an adjustable speed treadmill you can have access to both at any time. The great thing about treadmills is that many come with a folding option so you can have a versatile piece of fitness equipment without loosing half a room.
Weights
Weights are one of the oldest and most conventional forms of exercise. They are great for toning certain muscles (essentially upper body and arms) but do not really add much benefit for those looking to loose weight. A good fitness strategy for both men and women is to combine them with other forms of exercise, eg. Jogging with body weights or aerobics with small hand weights. This will increase your stamina as well as strengthening you muscles. Weights are relatively cheap and small in comparison to most exercise equipment so they are ideal “second purchase” for your home gym.
