26. Buy Used

If you’re looking to purchase equipment to aid you with your home-based quest for fitness, consider buying used items. Fitness equipment is arguably the best thing to buy used (not least because most people tend to be selling it because they hardly ever used it).

Look online, hit some local garage sales and look for remanufactured options at places like Wayfair.com. It’s important when buying from a private seller, however, to research the brand and test the equipment before agreeing to purchase it.
