Default Where to buy home gym equipment (local or online)

Been having a tough time finding places that sell home gym equipment at reasonable prices. Weights and whatnot aren't bad, but cross training equipment is ridiculous. My girlfriend wants a cheap elliptical and the same ones that are $600 on amazon.com are $1000+ anywhere I've found in Canada.

Any suggestions?

Kijiji would be your best bet. There's always people selling what once was a piece of exercise equipment but is now a place to hang their clothes.

whatever you do make sure that you buy a good quality oiece of equipmet - it will last longer and you will use it more.

are you comparing the exact same pieces of equipment?

I'm in the same boat, looking for some equipment. I try to keep an eye on Redflagdeals, http://forums.redflagdeals.com/hot-d...fixid=Fitness9 Other than that, I haven't seen many great options online.

Shipping to my home address is my preference, so Kijiji isn't always the best option.

Go play some CP street hockey one of these weekdays. 2-3 hours of running around chasing a little orange ball will beat the pants off of any fancy gym equipment!

What do you consider a reasonable price? Costco seems to have some decent online prices.

Looking to buy some kettlebells. Any good places in Calgary outside of the big stores like Walmart, Crappytire, Sport chek, costco? There's nothing good on kijiji right now.

Tired of going to the gym right now and with nicer weather, easier to do some running outside and I much rather enjoy lifting weights in the basement then driving to the gym.
