Firstly choose a piece that you will enjoy using. So if you were a member of a gym what did you use most. Don’t buy something because your friend said it was great. Some companies will allow you to rent with a buying option. This is perfect as you can try it and hassle a good deal out of them if you want to buy. Make sure you get a warranty. If you get a rowing machine which is a great workout make sure you have the right technique.

Kettlebells, TRX, dumbbells etc are great tools but again ensure you know how to use them and have a good programme of exercises.

Male and female models make the simplest of fitness equipment look great on TV but I will bet you any amount of money they didn’t get their body using that piece.

Although its seems a great idea most equipment make great clothes hangers.

However I still bump into people who are still battering away regularly before work on something I sold those years ago. Or using it to supplement their workouts when they can’t get to Bootcamp.

Please shout if I can be of any help
