The REPUPATION of the manufacturer who produces the exercise machinery you are looking at is important as well. GREAT NAME BRANDS INCLUDE KETTLER, BODY-SOLID, BODYCRAFT, PRECOR, LIFE FITNESS, STAR TRAC, CYBEX AND STAIRMASTER. Try and do some quick homework on the brand name of the piece of home or commercial fitness equipment that you are looking to buy. Most of the time you will find that the company you are looking into is entirely legit and manufactures quality machinery (especially if you purchase with the Kings of Cardio) but sometimes you will find that the company in which you are looking into doesnt have a good reputation at all. Many off-brands and private labeled products come with illegitamate warranties and are prone to breaking down. It is absolutely a must that you not buy brands such as these. With all of the great fitness equipment brands such as Precor, Life Fitness, Star Trac and Cybex (some other too), why in the world would you ever gamble on a company that has negative reviews? It would make no sense. If you really want to be the guy who gets Georged by some sly fox salesman on some toy, they call a piece of cardio equipment, then by all means go for it! Maybe you can be the guy that gets a piece of fitness equipment that matches up with those of your friends that cost double what yours cost. I tried to be that guy with a stereo system once. When some slicksters came up to my car and offered me what looked like a $2000.00 stereo for $150 and some Tupac CD’s, I jumped at the opportunity, hahhahaha opportunity, and bought it ($125 and some CD’s….seriously). Then after I bought this sweet looking stereo from these sharks, I called all my friends and told them to meet me at my house to see the new amazing stereo I bought at a fraction of what they all paid for theirs and well we all know what happened…..unless your a… well…. anyway it didnt work at all, and that is exactly what is going to happen to you when you buy some piece of exercise equipment called the Super Track by some freak who goes by the name of Super John the Fitness Don. But like I said, if you really want to give it one shot, then go for it and gamble! Good luck and remember we told you so. BUY A PIECE OF HOME GYM EQUIPMENT THAT IS MADE BY A REPUTABLE COMPANY!
Hello, it is really neat how you describe so many different kinds of exercise and weight loss programs. Do you feel as if there is 1 exercise program that is somehow better than the rest? In other words, what home fitness workout plan would you reccomend for someone that really wants to lose a lot of weight? thanks? also, do you have Life Fitness Treadmills and Precor ellipticals?
what treadmill would you recommend for a woman in her early 40′s that is 5’4 170 lbs? thank you for your time
Hello,
My name is Michael Kessler. I would like to this time to thank you for all of your awesome posts about exercise equipment and the heath and fitness industry as a whole. We are in the process of opening our own local health and fitness center and would like to get a quote from one of your fitness guys for some free weight sets, multi-station home gyms, and circuit weight training machines. Can someone e-mail me to discuss pricing? Thanks again
Do you have fitness equipment strong enough for a hospital? It would be used up to 8 hours a day. Thanks – Roxanna
we tried the 15 minute sessions of push ups and sit-ups you all suggested. It has helped us stay focused during the times of the day when we were normally getting tired and sllepy. The extra cardio and strength exercises really do help our daily energy output. thanks again -
do you guys know where I can get the free weight dumbbell set that autmoatically adjusts the weights for you in the racks?
Hello
Do we like your infoarmation a lot and look forwards to your fitness blogs. Thanks for all of your enthusiastic comments and ideas!
your workout program for the lower body is super! Also, I love the Leg Press Machine I bought from Brad, thanks!
Hello,
I noticed you had listed in order the treadmills and elliptical cross-trainers that you all believe are the best. I would like to contribute with my own list.
1.) Life Fitness 95Xi
2.) Life Fitness 91Xi
3.)Precor AMT 100i
4.)Precor EFX 576i Experience Series
5.)Precor EFX 546i
6.)Cybex Arc Trainer 750AT
The local health clubs and gyms down here in coconut grove, Florida have TV’s on alll of their Precor AMT 100i ellipticals. I would like to get a brnad new Precor AMT 100i for my home. How long does the average person workout for when they use an elliptical cross trainer such as the Precor AMT 100i and the Preco EFX 576i? Thank you
Looks like you are a real pro. Did you study about the matter? Studies on how heart rate montiors in fitness equipment can improve results are really neat and should be discussed. Being able to view your heart rate alloows you to know exactly how hard you are exercising versus having to guess. For instance, you can infer that your “fat burning zone” will represent a much higher pulse than your “cool down” stage does. But that is not to say that montitoring minimul differences in your heart rate is not important as well. Most treadmills, Precor Ellipticals and Life fitness ellipticals all have heart rate monitors built into them.
I have a brand new precor elliptical to sell. Do you guys have a local store in Phoenix?
I am definitely bookmarking this page and sharing it with my friends.
It looks like you are a true expert. where did you study health and Fitness?
if you had to choose between a life fitness 95xi elliptical and a Precor EFX 546, which unit would you go with?
A STAINLESS STEEL BAR – FOR BENCH PRESS – HOW MUCH $$$???
do you carry spin bikes? I am looking for a body-solid spin bike.
Hey I agree with everything said here about making sure you buy name brand fitness equipment. Companies like Precor, Life Fitness, Star Trac and a couple other leading gym equipment distributors, have earned themselves great reputations due to each of their own unique and reliable appoaches to manufacturing fitness equipment. So why someone would buy a cardio, or strength piece of fitness gear, from an off-label brand, is beyond me. There are way too many reputable and well-known fitness equipment companies out there to just go and buy some XYZ treadmill from a guy names super slim. Anyways,,,those are my two cents, thank you for letting me post and ramble here.
Hello I used to play football in high-school so I am familiar with home gyms, but some of the latest technology is comprehensive to say the least and if there is someone I could call about the pulley system on my BodyCraft X4 – 4 Weight Satck Gym, then that would be great.
I somehow dont agree with a few things, but its great anyways.
I have been trying to get off of narcotics for a long time and exercising really helps keep my mind off of getting high. Having tried everything possible in order to quit doing drugs, the one thing that really does help is working out. When I go runnign or I am on the bench press it is like I can release all of my frustrations and I forget about drugs. Unfortunately, when I stop working out and my body is sore from the physical training, I can sleep better at night and do not need chemicals to make me feel better. So if you are one of the millions of people out there addicted to drugs, grab an exercise bike, home gym, treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, stair climber, or just do some exercise on your own without gym equipment. You will feel much better and have a much easier time quitting drugs, including cigarettes.
how can I start blogging about my exercise routine?
Thanks for the fascinating information on the Star Trac Fitness equipment. Where else could anybody get this kind of article in such a perfect way. I truly enjoyed reading it and all of the weight loss tips.
Is it worth it to buy a double weight stack home gym if I am going to be the only 1 using it?
having gym gear at home has been the catalyst and driving force behing my new found diet and weight loss.
I agree with you about home fitness equipment. Recently I purchased a CardioZone brand treadmill that I had never heard of. I bought it because I was sold a dream by a salesman who sells all kinds of sports gear and health supplements. The fitness store and its salesman seemed reputable, but the “off brand” equipment was horrible and the treadmill literally broke a week after it arrived.
Do you ship gym equipment over seas? I have home fitness equipment but I need commercial quality for a fitness center.
The author of http://www.kingsofcardio.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: The truth is always true even if noone believes it to be Thanks for the info. Making sure home fitness equipment is name brand and is coming from a reputable company is crucial towards making sure you find club quality home fitness equipment.
Hi girls. I am only I start to studybest exercise program
I have visited a site
Much to our regret I have very little found out about it.
You can probably tell to me a good site about cardio exercise program.
I will be very glad.
thanks
The information here is great. Home fitness equipment has been in the news lately as more and more people aim to lose weight for the new decade that has embarked upon us. The question is, can stay fit and healthy without home fitness equipment? Many people have exercise routines that do not incorporate any sort of gym equipment at all. Instead, they run at a local track, do push -ups, sit-ups, calistenics, stretching, swimming, riding bikes, rock climbing and any other physical activity they can think of that does not involve gym or home fitness equipment. Although exercise equipment is great, there are so many different ways people can get in shape without having to spend a trillion dollars on huge fitness equipment that takes up a ton of room.
I bought some fitness equipment that wasn’t terribly expensive, nor had I heard of it before and it has worked out just fine so far.
Thanks for reading this. U guys rock.
Good day, sun shines!
let’s all exercise and try and make ourselves healthier today!
My friend and I were recently discussing about how we as a society are so hooked onto electronics. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become. People need to exercise more and incorporate home fitness equipment into our daily routine and that way we will be healthier and fight off disease with more ease. The key to staying fit and healthy is making sure you have a treadmill and an elliptical in your home, preferably Precor, or Life Fitness equipment for either residential or commercial environment.
Precor fitness equipment is by far and away the best kind of gym equipment on the market. Since the 1980s Precor equipment has been a staple of all major health clubs and fitness facilities across the nation. With their invention of the elliptical cross-trainer, precor really elevated their game, as they have been spearheading the gym and home fitness equipment industries for the past decade.
Hello..
it is nice to have found a great place to find nice products such as gym treadmills and ellipticals. The Star Trac E-TBTi elliptical machine looks really nice. Home much does the average home gym cost? Average elliptical? treadmill? Recumbent BIke? I am sorry for all for all of the questions but it has been a long time since I have been in a fitness store.
nice article. For the past 5 years I have tried to live a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise. Precor home fitness equipment has really helped me look and feel really good. Having home fitness equipment really allows you to workout whenever you feel the sudden urge or impulse to get a workout in.
quite interesting read. I would love to follow you on twitter. How can I?
