Are you stuck in the treadmill rut? Do you have great leg muscles but no upper body strength? And how about those abs?

The obvious answer is to have a variety of machines in your home gym. But, how can you afford great equipment on a budget?

Let's just say for example you want to round out your gym with ProForm fitness equipment. You are going to want to have a cross trainer, stationary bike and a resistance machine. That will cover your needs for not only strength and agility training.

You might pick out a ProForm PF 960 Station, a ProForm 900 CardioCrossTrainer and a ProForm PS PF Recumbant. What are your chances of getting something like that in your price range?

The good news is that you will often be able to find the exact exercise equipment you want at a good discount. Not only that, you will probably be able to find it in your city. Your hunt will be even more successful if you are open to buying either a slightly different model in the same brand or even a different brand with similar quality.

If you are only interested in buying new equipment, it would not matter where you get it from. In that case, you just need to do some comparison shopping in your area, make a list of the equipment that you want - with alternates and then start looking for it.

On the other hand, you will usually get the best deal by buying used equipment. In that case, you will want to actually try out the fitness equipment before you put your money down.

Finding the Discount Fitness Equipment You Have Chosen

There are four great places to look for the discount exercise equipment you have chosen. Whether you are buying new equipment or are eager to save even more buy checking out used equipment, these will work for you.

1) Local Fitness Equipment Retail Stores. Stores will often have sales, discontinued models and returned items. Not only that, they will often have a bulletin board where notices can be places for used items for sale, You may also put up a want ad notice. Sales personel may also be aware of people who have equipment for sale.

2) Local Health Clubs. Health clubs routinely turn over their equipment, they maintain it well and their equipment will be deeply discounted because of heavy use.
