Seasonal Athlete
Depending on your tolerance for bad weather you probably find yourself using indoor equipment 4 – 5 months out of the year.  And depending your desire for new equipment you probably replace this equipment every 2 – 5 years.  If these numbers sound right to you then there just isn’t a reason for you to buy a treadmill when you can rent quality equipment when you want it.  Over the long haul it will save you money and you will always have a quality machine for your winter workouts.  Just for argument sake lets run some hypothetical numbers.

The average cost of a Rent a Tread level quality treadmill brand new is about $2000. However, we’re going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you are a bargain hunter and you are able to find a steal of a deal for $1500.  You like to stay on top of things so you purchase a brand new treadmill every 4 years. The downside is that you really only use your treadmill during the 3-4 Winter months of the year.  Even If you are renting our higher quality models at 54.99.  Then you will save yourself $600 dollars over the long haul of 4 Years.  Here’s the math 54.99 * 4 (months) * 4 (years) = 879.84.   Not only that, but should anything go wrong with your treadmill we offer free maintenance for anything that goes wrong with your treadmill.  So even if you are a bargain hunter and you do use your treadmill 4 months out of the year you are still coming out ahead by renting rather then purchasing your own tread mill.
