Saving money by sacrificing quality
Gym equipment is going to go through a lot. These are not items you’ll use lightly (at least not if you stick to your workout goals). You pound on this equipment. You drop it, throw it, run on it, sit on it, smack it against the floor…You won’t be easy on gym equipment, so this is not the time to buy the cheap stuff. Remember that you want your gym equipment to last you for years. Even the “inexpensive” treadmill is still a lot of money, so it’s a shame to drop hundreds on one, only to have to replace it in a few years. You have to work within your budget, of course. But if you have to build your gym slowly to let your finances catch up to the purchases, it’s a good idea, if it means getting high-quality equipment.
