How much was it for?
My mom just gave me a call in office after visiting two stores. She says that Chinese/Taiwanese Brands are available for 30-35K. On the other hand, Lodhi Sports which advertises every week in Delhi Times has European Models at around 45K for similar features. They definitely LOOK better - as per her.
Is the Brand/Country of Origin that important or are all of them basically the same.

Actually for the past few years I've been very continual with the neighborhood Gym but now am planning to get a Multigym at home as it is more convenient. I don't need to rush back from office that ways.
The Treadmill is being bought on my sisters insistence who is coming down for a month from the UK. She exercises everyday, alternating between swimming
continuously for 1.5 hrs and treadmilling for the same duration.
My Mom is VERY regular with her BRISK morning walks. Dad is slower and not so regular. He would benefit from the Treadmill. Point being - it's coming for the family.

I agree with you totally. But living bang on the Main Road in South Delhi has its own set of problems. Traffic that starts at 7am till 10pm. Dog Poo that one has to dodge. The only good thing is the neighborhood Park which is MASSIVE ... but evenings get too hot and i'm to lazy to walk in the mornings.
