Finding cheap fitness equipment is easy to do because there is a lot of used equipment out there. Many people buy new equipment and put it in the bedroom and it never gets used. You can get almost new fitness gear for penny's on the dollar. Shopping around can save you a lot of money.

First you want to search on Craigslist because it is one of the best places to get used items that are in your local area. When you go there search under the sporting good category and type in the type of machine that you are looking for. In most cases you will find what you are looking for that is close to your house.

Next you need to look through your local Sunday paper because they usually have a lot of great prices on good used equipment. You may have to go and look at a few of the available items but it will be well worth your time and effort. Remember that you can also negotiate the price and getting a better deal than the asking price.

Finally do not buy the first item you see because when you take your time and search around you will find that there are many deals out there. You should be able to find a treadmill or bike for 50-90% off what it would cost you brand new. Most of the equipment is so close to brand new you will think it just came out of the box.
