With the exercise equipment industry becoming more saturated by the day, there has been an overwhelming amount of cheap, flimsy, and inferior fitness equipment that has flooded the home fitness equipment market, resulting from this trend defined by its superabundance of gym gear. Therefore, it is imperative now more than ever, that you do the homework necessary, in order to make sure that the fitness equipment you buy is optimal for the specific needs of your body. Making sure the bio-mechanics of your workout equipment, duplicate the natural movements of your body, is of paramount importance, when researching which piece of fitness equipment is best for your body type. There are far too many pieces of cardiovascular fitness equipment and strength equipment, in the health and fitness industry, that are not up to par when it comes to the structural integrity, mechanical capacity, electronic technology and bio-mechanically correct ergonomics, necessary in order to remain safe, secure and durable, through long lasting and intense workouts.

Additionally, more exercise equipment and sporting good stores have started to sell products designed by penny-pinching, voracious manufacturers. These corporate giant have only one intention when designing exercise equipment and that is based around their intention of making sure that the fitness equipment they produce is appealing to the aesthetic senses of their potential customers, without any disregard for the reliability and overall quality of the product itself.

Needless to say that with an attitude like that, the parts used, such as the drive and incline motors, belts, flywheels, pedals, suspension material, rollers, and more, are not premium, high quality parts. Now to the naked eye it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a nice suspension system or not. For example, how can one differentiate between a good and bad motor. The reason we can’t is because the motors are covered by a cosmetics shroud and its exact specifications can only be found by uncovering the motors, though taking off the protective shrouds that cover them, which almost nobody ever does.

A legitimate fitness equipment company that delivers what it promises, is Star Trac, and their resume is filled with decades of hard work and accolades. Since 1974, they have supplied gyms and residences with user-defined, dependable and innovative exercise equipment. While the majority of fitness equipment manufacturers assembling products overseas, Star Trac’s manufacturing plant is located right here in the U.S.A. Star Trac has earned state-wide and national respect for building a 100,000 sq. foot warehouse in Irvine, California, and have been labeled a benefactor of the community, due to the number of gainfully employed, and tax paying citizens, that they have created as a result of international headquarters being located there. Every day it seems as though their equipment is showing up more and more at health club facilities and gyms. There are several reasons for their progressive and what has now become epic, takeover of the fitness equipment industry. Here we will explore the history of Star Trac an an international provider of fitness equipment and we will explore the reasons behind their recent dominance.

First of all, Star Trac claims that 3 million people, across 70 different countries, use Star Trac gym equipment, every day of the year, in home gyms and health clubs. Star Trac manufactures elliptical machines, treadmill, stationary exercise bikes, spin cycles and strength fitness equipment. Although they dominate the commercial fitness equipment industry, Star Trac has a major strong-hold in the home fitness equipment industry too. The Star Trac commercial line of fitness equipment includes their ST Pro series of treadmills with built in cooling fans, ergonomically correct and structurally sound stationary upright and recumbent exercise bikes, elliptical trainers that mimic the natural stride length of its users, award winning spin bikes, free weight equipment and 3 separate lines of adjustable weight strength equipment.

Get your home gyms and treadmills tuned up and ready for the change of weather! Soon it will be cold in most parts of the country and nobody likes exercising outside in cold weather. At least most people that work for the Kings of Cardio, but then again, we get the nice and sunny weather of beautiful Los Angeles, CA.
For those of you who are not as weatherly blessed as we are here in Los Angeles, you must not stop running and walking just because it is starting to get dark earlier and colder by the day. The great thing about purchasing home gym equipment is that once you have it, your options remain open, and you can always go back outside once in a while to exercise during winter, but make life easier for yourself and get some home fitness equipment.

The most common excuse for not neing able to work out and exercise on a daily basis is “Well I just don’t have enough time in my day.” While for most of us this excuse holds merit, we fail to realize how important daily exercise really is towards our health and overall well being. With that said, you need to carve out that 30 minute time frame each and every day in order to maintain a fit amd healthy body. Home fitness equipment is so essential to those who do not have the luxury of taking 2 hours out of there day to go to the gym.  Having a treadmill or an elliptical, or any other piece of exercise equipment at home will make fitting the time to exercise in your daily routine that much easier.

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!
