We decided to set up a home gym in the garage, mainly as I am starting to work from home regularly now, but also as Lynn wants to do more keep fit as well. Due to the coldness, we got the floor boarded and insulated, and put curtains over the garage door (keeping it all temporary so it can be converted back)
We got most of the stuff from Fitness Superstore in Frimley where after extensive research found the kit we had decided on was around the cheapest ! We also had sent off for a brochure, which came with a 10% discount voucher, which we could use on the whole order value. The one exception was the the Multi Gym which we got from Connection Fitness as it was significantly cheaper….
In the end we decided on the following:-
Weider Pro 2000 Multi Gym
Oxford II CS rower
Life Fitness C1 Cycle
Andes 308 Elliptical Trainer
Bremshey Ambition T Treadmill
The weight machine came first and took about 4 hours to assemble ! The instructions were clear and having used the machine a few times already, it seems to be doing me good !
The remaining kit came a few days later and were less pieces to put together but still a surprising amount of assembly required ! The rower was the worse instructions as it was always a bit of a guess as to what screws/bolts/nuts to use at each stage… but in the end after another 4 or 5 hours of assembly everything is now setup and ready to go ! We did have a slight hitch with the console unit for the Bike… they sent the console for the treadmill instead ! I don’t think you can really judge how a good a company is unless you need to use it’s customer service when things go wrong, and did feel that the Fitness Superstore people reacted well and quickly, with the component swapped over a couple of days later, so all is well now and am happy by the service we received.
I am still going to David Lloyd on work days, as I have to give 3 months notice !! so will not get fully into the new regime until March, but will update on progress as I go
