anyone know a place to buy cheap exercise equipment? I want a rowing machine and an exercise bike but it all seems rediculously priced for what they are.

ebay. Plenty of people selling things they bought on a whim and realise they would never use it

+1 for ebay. Also trading post - basically you'd be looking for secondhand stuff if you want a bargain.

+1 trading post, or the courier mail weekend one...

yeah ebay
we got our treadmill there at 1/2 the price of the same type/features in the shops

hey BOOST just make sure you're not buying this on a wimp.

What a wimp... can't believe he's buying this.

rowing machines are s***

gee, glad you all subtly pointed out my typo or I could have been really embarrassed

They're expensive for a reason. You get what you pay for in quality. For bikes, you're better off getting a road bike and a wind trainer, or a spin trainer.

Could probably get to where you want to by fixing up diet and doing calisthenics/LDR as opposed to wasting money on machines.

spend 2-3k on a real bike, and get out there.

I already do and do that

rowing machines are s***

Haha

Rowing machines own, but don't get anything other than a Concept 2

They last forever, thats why they are expensive

f*** all that, just get a set of $100 weights from A Mart All sports, and go for a run 4 cardio, cheap as.

Already got and do weights and also run

not really interested in your opinion on what i should be doing just looking for a cheap place to get equipment. apart from second hand it doesn't look like there is much.

BOWFLEX!

+1 Concept 2 Erg.

Don't bother with anything else.
