Here are some questions to ask yourself before purchasing any type of fitness equipment. Our sales associates are trained fitness consultants and can help you answer many of these questions. Don’t hesitate to call them for advice or better yet, go to the location nearest you to try out our equipment!

	What type of equipment do you need? Strength ? Cardio? Both?
	What requirements (space, electrical, maintenance) does each piece of equipment have?
	Where do you plan on placing the equipment?
	What kinds of equipment have fitness experts and your friends used?
	What did they like or dislike?
	What would they recommend for your skill and interest level?
	What kind of safety features does the equipment have? This could be important if you have children.
	When possible, try before you buy. For instance: try out the equipment at a local health club or borrow a friend’s equipment. Try out the equipment in the store. Don’t be bashful! Use it for more than a few minutes to get a real feel whether it will work for you.
	Does the product have a warranty? What does it cover?
	How do you maintain the equipment?
	How do you get it serviced? (For larger pieces of equipment, such as a treadmill, a repair person may have to visit your home).
	What does a service call or repair estimate cost?
