Why in the world would you buy an exercising machine for $14,615?

Because they meaning the person that bought it is trying to take the easy route which is costing her more. All you need to do is cut calories, walk, and eat right. Why spend that much money on something you know isn't going to work when you can do it for free well almost free??? There is no easy way out.

you can get a complete workout with a $40 set of dumbbells and a $10 stability ball.  if you're really strong, you might move up to a 300lb weight set and a bench.  hell, you can get a decent workout with nothing but a yoga mat and some knowledge.\n\nwhat's the point?  you can get a great workout with any system.  the one that works best is the one that you will use REGULARLY.\n\nthe major drawbacks of packaged systems like the solo/bowflex are that they're ridiculously expensive, you can't add weight if you max out on an exercise, and machines in general limit your range of motion- which means that your form is always correct, but you never have a chance to engage stabilizing muscles.\n\nif you have the money and space for one of these systems, consider buying a weight set, power rack, and bench- and spending the balance hiring a personal trainer to walk you through proper form & set up a program.\n\nanother comprimise would be plate-loaded machines aimed at weightlifters, like those from powertec, yukon, and many others.\n\nyour best option would really be to find somewhere local to try them out for yourself & figure out your own preference.\n\nsummary:  no bad option, but the tv-ad systems are more expensive and feature-limited than pretty much any other choice.  if you dig 'em, though, go right ahead- the best fitness solution is the one you hit several times every week.

If you have a local bike club/team, there will most likely be someone selling a triathlon bike - ask around.\n\n$750-$1,000 is about right for a new entry level bike.  Don't be suckered into spending more than $1,500.  Training makes you faster, not a $3,000 bike.

My friend purchased it, I believe it cost around $100. I have used it and I think it's pretty awesome (and I am not big into exercise devices). It's very easy to use and pain free...and I believe if you do it correctly and use it frequently it will work. I'd go for it if you want it and can afford the money.\nAlso, they can be complicated to fold up so keep the instructions, and make sure you have a good place to store it when not in use (it doesn't take up a lot of spcae, but its not tiny.)\nAnd if you decide that's not the way to go, you will probably be able to achieve your goals by doing crunches, sit-ups, riding bicycle, jogging, etc.  Basically you just have to stick to whatever exercise you choose.  :)\nGood luck with whatever you decide!

Save even more and buy yourself free weights.  An olympic bar, a sissy or curl bar, and an adjustable DB set.  Any fitness expert worth their salt will tell you that the benefits from free weights make machines pale in comparison.  Take the money you save and learn proper technique from a trainer.  Get a trainer that has a college degree in exercise science, that tells you more than a certification.  There are thousands of reasons to follow these instructions, but a few are:\nless likelihood of injury\nmore stability in joints\ngreater muscle balance\n\nIf you still refuse to come to grips with this advice AT LEAST get a machine with cables and pulleys, not steel bars and pivot points.  Cables and pulleys mimic the 3-dimensional movements of free weights, which is where the majority of the benefit lies.  Good Luck

Think about it as if you were buying it.  How much would you be willing to pay for it?  Don't get outrageous with the prices because most everything is probably used!  Good luck and have a lot of fun with it.  I am having one pretty soon!

The best thing that everyone is raving about is stength training with work out bands.  Every workout goru is pumping up the resistance band in there dvds.  No lie it does work.  I've been using it for two months.  People saw the difference after two-three weeks.  Dvds are reallly cheap between $15-$25 dollars a pop.  The resistance bands are non expensive either..  You can get either dvids or the band at any departmetn store Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Macy's, JCPenney, Sears or any athletic store.  You can tone up the body without emptying your wallet.  Good luck and be pursistant.

It was £1600 new, aluminium frame, should be kitted out with XT level components, its was an excellent bike at the time. It is quite old now so it might only be worth a shade over £200 these days. If you don't know much about bikes then it might be an idea to stay clear of it as it could end up being a lot of work if the pivot is on it's way out and the components are worn or, it could be totally mint and be a bargain. Difficult to say without seeing it I'm afraid.

It is a good thing for you to see what your getting, but I agree it is a ploy to strong arm you!\n\nI would find the place you like and name drop about the other gyms. Since it is done on commision, I would wait until the end of the month and at the end of the day so you have an advantage because they need to make quotas.Same for buying a car!\n\nYou should ask people what they are paying as they enter and leave the gym to get a feel for the cost. Good luck!

When I worked there a few years ago, it was $30 per month with a year-long contract, and they have to take it directly out of your checking account ($40 monthly if you pay cash).  There is also a fee for signing up, which used to run between $60 and $120 depending on the monthly special (and there is always a monthly special).  It's free to check it out--they'll give you a tour and explain all the pricing to you on your first visit.\n\nMy own opinion is that if you are young and already in fairly good shape, it's probably not for you.  I always got the feeling that it did more for the clients' self esteem than it did for their bodies.  But it's a great atmosphere, and if you stick with it, you'll get results.
