If you have done any research at all on home gyms, you have probably discovered that they can get quite expensive depending on what you are looking for.
 Many people do not purchase a home gym system because it simply does not fit in their budget.
 Many people do not realize that many cheap and used gyms are on the market today.
While you can find cheap or used home gyms several places online, two of the most popular places are eBay and Craigslist.
 If you are on a tight budget, it would be well worth your time to investigate both of these places online.
 Both of them usually have a number of used home gyms available for sale.
Another option that most people are unaware is many manufacturers sell used gyms.
 These are usually the high end gyms they have taken as a trade in for an upgrade.
 Since this is a manufacturer resale, they will usually replace the bench seats and any cables, bands that may be worn and resale the used home gym for a fraction of the cost of a new one.
If you are looking at used gyms, you need to pay particular attention to a few things.
 If the gym has cables or bands, make sure they are not worn or look like they will need replacing soon.
 Also pay attention to the covering of the bench seats.
 While this is not expensive to replace, it is an extra expense you will have as soon as the gym is yours.
Lastly, pay attention to the shipping and handling cost, especially if you are purchasing via eBay or Craigslist.
 Some home gyms can be quite heavy and it could cost a substantial amount to have it shipped to your location.
