With all of the different brands and styles of fitness equipment out on the market today it can be difficult to find the right one. The following is a short guide on how to pick the right piece of new or used fitness equipment for your home.
1. Visit a variety of websites to access consumer reviews about the very same product you are considering.
2. As best you can, try to determine whether the website or reviewers are in some way affiliated with the product.
3. Identify raters who have exercised regularly for at least six weeks-long enough to evaluate the physical training effect, as well as the durability of the product.
4. Sort out comments that appear to be fair and objective from those that are emotionally charged.
5. Read at least 30 reviews by users who meet the criteria described in 1-4.
6. Rely more on consistencies and trends, rather than extremes and exceptions, to form your overall impression of the product according to consumers.
Consumer fitness equipment ratings are just one resource for deciding whether or not a product suits your needs. Temper your overall impression of user ratings with published reports from independent consumer groups, such as Consumer Reports and the Federal Trade Commission, before you make your purchase.
