1. Am I guaranteed to lose weight if I buy exercise equipment?Just buying exercise equipment alone does not automatically guarantee weight loss. Know what you want accomplished and work to achieve it. Commit to a long-term exercise program where your equipment plays a major role. In addition, you must also eat right. Proper nutrition plays an important role in any exercise program. However, even then there are no guarantees. If the equipment is used properly and no weight loss occurs, there also may be benefits that aren't apparent, such as a healthier heart and lungs, increased endurance, muscle growth and toning, reduced body fat, etc., all of which can ultimately lead to a longer life. Back to Top2. Are there any treadmill safety features that a senior citizen should be concerned with?The most important treadmill safety feature, regardless of age, are side handlebar mounted speed switches or motion controls that allow the user to adjust the speed of a running treadmill without having to reach forward to the console. This is very important because the possibility of falling, while the machine is in operation, is greatly reduced. In addition, an emergency shut-off switch that stops the treadmill, if you fall off of it, should not be overlooked. The last treadmill safety feature that some models have are an automatic fold-up option, that automatically raises the treadmill bed so the user doesn't have to. To see all of A2Z Fit's treadmill models, that include the above mentioned safety features, please click on this link to Treadmills Main Page. Back to Top3.

How can A2Z Fit's exercise equipment be such high quality, with prices that are normally less than comparable fitness machines?Plain and simple, our overhead is low. In turn, we pass on the savings to our valued customers. This allows us to sell quality fitness equipment at substantially reduced prices. Back to Top7. Is there any one piece of fitness equipment that provides a full body workout?Yes, a wind or magnetic resistance rowing machine is about as close as a machine can come to providing a full body workout. The reason is that it offers components of aerobic exercise, strength training, and stretching. However, a close runner-up, not be overlooked, is a multi-gym or elliptical. For further information, please click on a following link to Rowing Machines, Multi-Gyms, or Ellipticals. Back to Top8. Should I speak with a doctor before starting an exercise program?There's no question that we highly recommend you consult with a physician prior to beginning any fitness routine. Your health is important to us. We want you to be happy with the exercise equipment we provide. By talking with your doctor you'll have a better idea of what parts of your body you need to concentrate on. You'll also know if there's certain training that should be considered off limits. No matter what you want to accomplish, A2Z Fit can provide you with the exercise equipment to help you attain your goals. Back to Top9. What components should a well rounded fitness program include?For an exercise program to be considered all encompassing, it's recommended that your fitness routine incorporate a combination of cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise, strength training, stretching, and proper nutrition & rest. Depending on your needs, A2Z Fit has the equipment to help you reach your goals. For further information on our fitness equipment, please click on this link to our Home Page. Back to Top10. What should I do if my fitness equipment is not working properly?It's highly unlikely that you'll have trouble with your equipment, but some parts occasionally wear out with continued use. When that happens you should call the equipment manufacturer's customer support line as listed on the paperwork or warranty card that was received with your product, and they can advise you further. However, for warranty verification you'll need to have a copy of your A2Z Fit invoice readily available. Back to Top11. What types of exercise machines are the most popular?Consumers spend more money on treadmills than any other major piece of fitness equipment. Among the reasons, the learning curve is extremely low, the exercise (walking or running) is natural, and you have an almost infinite capacity to adjust the level of exertion. Stationary exercise bikes, especially spinning bikes, are the second most popular due to: ● the exercise being familiar ● an easy pace can be set for beginners and ● relatively inexpensive models are available. For further information, please click on the following to link to Treadmills, Recumbent Bikes, and Upright Bikes & Spinning Bikes. Back to Top12. What types of exercise equipment are recommended for strength training?The most popular method of strength training is the use of free weights and free weight machines. Benefits of free-weight training include improved strength, greater endurance, increased bone density, and reduced body fat. A close runner-up are multi-gyms, due to their versatility, adjustability, and ease of use. For further information, please click on the following to link to Free-Weight Equipment or Multi-Gyms. Back to Top13. What types of exercise equipment offer a no-impact, aerobic workout?Elliptical machines are at the top of the list when it comes to no-impact, aerobic workouts. The main reason is that the machine works your heart without the impact on your legs like other machines, such as treadmills. Plus the motion is similar to walking, thus it's quite natural. In addition you can easily change your pace and stride, in the middle of a workout, without having to stop. Plus, most ellipticals have bars to hold onto that will even work and tone the upper body. For a number of reasons recumbent bikes, upright bikes, and rowing machines are runner-ups in the no-impact, aerobic category. For further information, please click on the following to link to Ellipticals, Recumbent Bikes, Upright Bikes, or Rowing Machines. Back to Top14. Why does delivery of most exercise equipment take more than 1 week?Most deliveries of our exercise equipment take more than 1 week for a number of reasons. However, the main reason is that the larger pieces of fitness equipment can not be shipped by normal ground transportation (because of weight or size restrictions) and must be shipped by common carrier freight companies. In turn, it takes time to coordinate these deliveries and if you live farthest away from where the product was shipped, you'll be on the high side of the average delivery. For more information click the link to Delivery & Set-Up. Back to Top15. Why should I buy exercise equipment for my home?There are numerous reasons to buy fitness equipment for your home and believe it or not the cost of buying your own fitness equipment can actually be quite small when compared to ever increasing health club dues, parking, auto mileage, gas, etc. Some benefits of buying home exercise equipment may in fact be exclusive to only you. However, based on a national study the main reasons that consumers purchased home exercise machines were for: a) improved health b) weight loss c) convenience and d) privacy.
