Should I Buy the Best Treadmill For Home Or a Health Club Membership? Save Your Money!

If you're wondering whether you should buy the best treadmill or join a health club and are having a difficult time deciding on which to do, here are a few tips you may want to know to help you decide.
I've had both. I've had a home treadmill and a health club membership and sometimes I've had both at the same time.

If you invest in a treadmill you'll never have to worry about health club or gym membership dues. It's a one item purchase. You can buy one used to save on the initial purchase price. If you buy a new or used treadmill you can always sell it down the line. In any event you want to choose the best one you can find that won't take up a lot of room or will fold away and many of the newer treadmills are designed to do that.

Reasons people don't like to join health clubs are: they don't like to work out in front of other people especially if they have a weight problem, they don't like paying monthly dues, or they don't have time to go to the gym to work out. These are all good reasons to buy a treadmill.

Of course if you have a health club membership you have access to elliptical machines and other machines besides treadmills. Or your club may have a swimming pool, racquetball court or basketball court. But if you aren't interested in these then more reason to choose a treadmill to use at home.

You may need some room to use a treadmill, which you may not have and may be another reason to join a health club instead. But the foldaway treadmills that slide under your bed or fit into a closet may work for you.

I can say it's very convenient to have your treadmill at home for many reasons if the weather is bad and you don't want to go out. You can still get your walking or running in and exercise by using your treadmill. There are many good brands to choose from and they're being improved on and redesigned every year so it only gets better. If you work a lot of hours and still need to spend time with the family you can save gas, driving time and health club time by just working out at home.

So if you want to save money invest in and buy a treadmill if you have the room. Monthly membership dues add up and in the end you don't have anything to show for it if you don't use it. Whether you use the treadmill or not you still have the treadmill and you can always sell it. There are many inexpensive treadmills on the market today. There are many brands to choose from and they're very competitive in pricing. If you cannot pay cash, you can figure out what you would pay for a monthly gym or health club membership and apply that to payments if you have to put it on a credit card.
