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.
Dear Manveet,

Hullo there!

Just got off my treadmill after 35 minutes of huffing & puffing my way to the daily dose of cardio nirvana..

I have "Horizon" - ID 200 (US brand,made in China) motorised treadmill which i bought 1.5 years ago from a Proline store on the way to Gurgaon from mehrauli (the mkt stands closed now). Great treadmill with incline function..Guess I paid around 46-47K with bill & warranty.The motor comes with 5 year warranty & the rest with 2 years warranty..I too live in south delhi & time is premium,can't wait for the treadmill turn at the local gym nor I can go running in the local park! . Apart from this I have invested in a multigym (Taiwanese make for 17-18K) bought from "Grandslam" in GK-2 & an ab-king pro bench for ab crunches..
