With winter coming up, and finally with space in the basement to use for this purpose, I am thinking of setting up a home workout area. We already have a Nordic Track, and I'm not really into stationary bike, but I would like to secure a free treadmill or elliptical from CL. All the free items seem to be broken, and generally in an unspecified way ("doesn't work. could be the motor or the belt. I don't have time to fix, maybe you do.")
(Please let's not have a discussion of how much more badass I could be if I just went outside and exercised. I will ski sometimes and run if it's not icy, but not every night. I know that about myself already. Thank you very much.)
Carrying on!
Is it generally within the realm of possibility to fix these things? I hate to pick up something and then be stuck with disposal cost if it turns out to be difficult and/or costly.
If I act fast, maybe I can get one that works - this is my first choice. But in the absence of that opportunity? Anyone have experience with this kind of thing?
