The Top Places to Find Cheap Treadmills

By Ray Freez

Cheap treadmills are readily available. Don't think you have to pay a fortune to get one of your own. In the past, when treadmills were moving out of the gyms and into private homes for the first time, this may have been true. Now, however, owning a treadmill is a possibility for nearly anyone. You just need to know where to look to get the cheapest prices.

First, see if you can find a good deal on eBay. Today, it's common to automatically check eBay before making a major purchase. Ebay has become famous for offering some of the lowest prices on just about anything in the world. You can often find treadmills at significantly reduces prices there, sometimes with free shipping.

You should definitely be looking in the local classified ads. You can either check the newspaper or on your local section of Craigslist for cheap, used treadmills at great prices (or look at both, to make sure you're covering your bases). These aren't necessarily junk machines, either. Sometimes, people have to get rid of perfectly good treadmills for a variety of reasons, such as moving, emergency cash, and upgrading to new models. This can be good news for you.

You might also find a good deal on eBay. It's well-known for providing cheap merchandise, and lost of people check there first before looking anywhere else for expensive products. You might find a treadmill available for local pick-up, or one that has cheap (or even free) shipping.

The brands of treadmill sold at discount online stores and Ebay auctions are of the same quality and manufacturer as those sold retail, except the cost is usually much less. Typically they offer free shipping as an incentive to buy.

Look for cheap treadmill closeouts at your local discount department store. Sometimes, a particular model of treadmill is discontinued. The models that are left in stores will be marked down drastically in price. Call around, or go check in person at the discount department stores in your area to see if you can find a good deal.

It doesn't matter what your fitness level is a treadmill can provide you with an excellent workout. Slow, intense, or interval, you will get a good indoor workout on a treamill.

Walking is an excellent form of exercise, with many important health benefits. You can walk in the comfort of your own home with a treadmill, without having to go outside and brave the wild world. Finding cheap treadmills isn't hard, so get out there and start looking.
