Favorite brand of treadmills

[slacker]

What are some of the more liked brands of treadmills that I should be looking into for my gym. thanks

I still don't think you are serious about it but i like talking about equipment so here goes...

If I was opening a gym in a small town in canada I would get refurbed life fitness treads.

They are so easy to work on and so easy to get parts for (gympart.com as an example sells OEM belts that are loads cheaper than life fitness ones) that even if you have a few problems they are an easy fix.

the motors can take serious punishment and you can even send them to places to get exchange ones.

this black model was the first ones but the silver 95T and similar are basically the same machine...

there are seriously many many thousands of these models in north america... they are like the crown vic of treadmills not sexy but solid.

I was thinking about getting the ones with the individual tvs in them.  They have these at the gym Im currently using.

Jesus christ I thought you said you did your research.  You said you were opening in April and you don't even know what kind of treadmill you are getting.  Seriously, just tell us you have been fucking around with us cause you felt alone and you needed to try and impress someone.

IHRSA expos in the USA offers a myriad of equipment and many other items for the gym owners.  I would serious recommend going to one of these before opening a gym.

LifeFitness is the best. Great product, great customer support, easy to find aftermarket parts. you can also get an aftermarket kit to put the TV's on the older models

Dont make the mistake of going with Precor. Their niche is ellipticals, not treads.

The refurb idea from jwb is solid.....


Dont be cheap and think "a treadmill is a treadmill". youll regret it.

Globalfitness.com

Fitness Equipment Source......out of Utah. Ask for Mark Clayton. Hes a wheeler and dealer....hell hook you up!

Mr. Clayton will get you a good deal on a refurbished tread. Nice guy and you'll get your equipment pretty quickly.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Slacker you are a retard.  You need to buy your shit from a Canadian source if that is where you live and want the gym to be.  Customs will not allow this equipment through unless you pay through the nose for tariffs.

yup yup. a solid bro mr. clayton is.

thank you for your help.  I think I am g0ing to order 10 treadmills and 6 ellipticals.   The nearest gym to me has 6 treadmills and 2 elliptical

Your a retard there are no tariffs on used equipment. The only thing I would need to pay tax on the sale price.   The End 

Please dont try to help again your an idiot

Ummm You are not that smart.  Check again.  If it was purchased in the US then you pay on it.  Plain and simple.  Wow!  never underestimate the stupidity of people on this forum.

[noworries]

Bad idea to buy equipment in the US for Canada.  If you had just one brain cell I would give Hazbin a call.  He knows exactly what he is doing, is a great guy and has a great gym in Canada.  But, then again you aren't really building a gym are you?

You are wrong on Precor vs. Life Fitness......I've sold both.  Far less service calls on the Precor, with a 10 yr EVERYTHING included warranty.  LF has a garbage warranty.  Not to mention Precor 9 series treads are all still manufactured in the US.  And there is a huge difference in product quality in fitness equipt when it comes to US vs anybody else....especially Asia.

All that said, I would look for a used Precor commercial, if you can get it into your workout room.....they can weigh 500 lbs.....so upstairs can be a bitch.  If you are serious OP, hit me up, as I still have some connections in the industry and will see what I can do for you.

hey slacker...the gym I go to two has two different types..precor and life...I run on the precor, seems to have more cushion (if that makes sense) and I never get chin splints and I run 7-8 miles 6 days a week on it
