General
Recommendations
Now that the year 2000 is upon
us, we find ourselves able to make purchases in a whole new way. This new
purchasing power comes in the form of the Internet. For without the
Internet, you would not be able to even read these recommendations.
Unfortunately, with the good comes the bad. When dealing with
companies over "the net," make sure what they tell you about the
product is valid. We recommend you check this validity by calling a local
store or checking the manufacturers' websites. Also, be leary of service
plans quoted by sales reps. It has been a problem that some company's
reps. are promising outlandish service plans if you buy their products. In
addition, some retailers will bash brand names or other companies to sell you
their own products. With these sales reps., they are more concerned about
the profit in their pocket than your specific fitness needs/goals/budget.
Along these same lines, there is also another situation that has recently been
an issue: companies posting fake
ratings with the products they want to sell at the top of the list.
Many times they are trying to sell their own private-labeled equipment instead
of equipment that is actually made much better and will last longer. We have shopped
"the
net" many times ourselves and also heard of these situations from our
customers.
Look for a
friendly sales person who is willing to give you the time you need to make a
decision. For some companies, the extent of the conversation with
consumers is quoting a price and pressuring people to buy on the spot.
Remember that fitness equipment of good quality
does not come cheap, so DO YOUR HOMEWORK and TAKE YOUR TIME when making your choices.
Go visit local stores and test the equipment, and collect product information
from as many sources as possible. Keep in mind, if you don't feel
comfortable with what you are being told or how you are being treated, take your
business elsewhere.
