Safety
One of your first considerations will be safety. Is it safe for you to have equipment at home? How is your health? Do you have children? If you happen to have health problems, check with your doctor and make sure that introducing a new training program is safe for you. Some equipment is substantial; consider if you’ll need to move it regularly, as this may be stressful on your body. If possible, try it (or similar equipment) out first before purchasing. It may be worth asking the opinion of a personal trainer before committing.
Be wary of rumours
Be careful about what people say on fitness equipment, not everything is right. Some people have a bad experience with one piece of equipment and shun the whole brand. Some people form their opinion based solely on what they’ve heard. The best solution is to do your research and if in doubt, contact us before purchasing.
Consider space?
Of course, you need to consider the space you have available at home. Some buyers forget this critical consideration. Consider where to place the equipment before buying. Your home might not be able to accommodate the equipment. Makes plans and make sure that the machine will fit comfortably in the space you have. If in doubt contact us, and we can advise you on necessary space for any particular piece of equipment.
What is your Budget?
Always consider how much money you have and how much you are willing to pay for the equipment. We normally recommend investing in the best equipment you can afford as you’ll be more committed to the purchase and also will enjoy the equipment more. Some recommend buying cheap as it’s less of a risk, however often when you buy cheap you’ll have a poor experience and will regret the purchase.
Do you need it?
This is a critical question. Is the equipment necessary? Does it suit your fitness goals, the activities you want to do, the body part you are focusing on or any recommendations given? Exercise should be challenging but enjoyable. Even the best fitness equipment will only work if you use it regularly! A lot of our fitness equipment is very versatile, so you may be able to save money by buying something with more features rather than purchasing several items of specific function.
Try before you buy
Before investing in any equipment, consider visiting a gym first and trying the same piece of equipment to see if you enjoy using it. It doesn’t necessarily have to be York Fitness equipment, as it’ll still give you an idea of the movements and uses. Many gyms offer drop in sessions for a small fee, allowing you to experiment with different pieces of fitness equipment in one session.
Consider calling customer service.
If you have any doubts or questions at all don’t hesitate to call our customer service. The York Fitness team is knowledgeable in all of our equipment and could give you some good ideas on how to save money and get the most out of your home gym. Our goal is to give you the best experience possible when you purchase fitness equipment from us.
