Buying
someone a piece of exercise equipment for Christmas is always a touchy subject,
especially if the gift is unsolicited.
Then again, if
you’re thinking about getting in shape and don’t feel comfortable
about going to your local gym or jogging during the winter, asking Santa
Clause, or your significant other for a treadmill or an elliptical machine
may not be such a bad idea after all, especially if you’re planning
to make a New Year’s resolution that involves shedding a few pounds.
It’s a little
known fact that Robertson Rent All on Innes Road sells a wide variety of
high quality exercise machines made by such leaders in the industry as Pro-Form,
Reebok and Healthrider.
Located in the
same building as Robertson Rent All, Robertson Fitness Equipment has a number
of floor models you can test drive before putting one of them on your Christmas
wish list.
Prices for elliptical
machines can range from $399 to $799, while treadmills range from $799 to
$1199 and exercise bikes can be purchased from anywhere between $349 to
$839 – all sale priced.
Robertson Fitness
Equipment also carries the complete line of York free weights and dumbbells
as well as home gyms by Weider.
If you’re
somewhat leery about sticking to your New Year’s resolution Robertson
Fitness Equipment also rents out many of the same machines they carry in
their showroom. Rates vary depending on the machine.
The basic rate
for a treadmill is $96 per month for the regular model and $124 per month
for a programmable model.
Elliptical machines
can be rented for $84 per month, while a stair climber will run you $48
per month.
You can also
rent a standard exercise bike for $54 per month or one with all the bells
and whistles on it for $72 per month.
Whatever you
choose, 30 per cent of the rental charge can be used to offset the purchase
price of the apparatus should you decide to buy it. Delivery and pick-up
can also be arranged for a nominal additional fee.
Robertson Rent
All and Robertson Fitness Equipment are located at 4380 Innes Road, next
to the McDonald’s. For additional information about the services they
offer and the products they have for rental or sale why not visit their
