Should you buy a second-hand treadmill? 

Another option is to purchase a second-hand treadmill. Most large retailers only sell new treadmills, but you may be able to find a second-hand treadmill from an online resale hub or at a secondhand store or a used sporting goods store. Of course, deciding to buy a pre-used treadmill comes with both its pros and cons which we’ve listed below.

Pros

  • Find a high-end treadmill at a low price 
  • You may be able to buy from someone local and forgo the shipping time 
  • Buying a used treadmill is an eco-friendly investment 

Cons

  • It can be hard to discern the state of a used treadmill 
  • You won't receive retailer offers such as free trials for fitness apps 
  • Used treadmills often don't last as long 
  • The warranty may have expired 

While used treadmills may be a whole lot cheaper, they also come with setbacks. After all, you might not know the machine's history and it could be in worse shape than it initially appears. 

That's why we think that the best option is to buy a fresh new treadmill during sales or with limited-time discounts—that way, you'll get a great deal without compromising on quality.
