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 website at www.supersites.ca/ robertsonrentallinc/home/.
