Mehrnush, I see your point. I just wanted to share what I learned today so all
options could be explored before a decision is made.

I think new gym equipment and new pool furniture is an investment in our
community and I think that it’s something we should be looking into instead of
just repairing it.
I’ve been here seven years and the gym equipment was looking old at that time
in 2011. I would be willing to bet it’s original to our neighborhood, or close
to it.
Saving money is great but having facilities that we all enjoy using is part of
why we have the facilities at all. I think tackling a large tasks every year
is important in order to keep our community fresh and not outdated.
For example, the clubhouse furnishings could use an update as well — although
it’s not as important as these other things at the moment.
In any event, we should be constantly updating improving our community in every
possible way in my opinion if we want to not only keep up with other
communities in the area but if we want to enjoy our own facilities that we pay
monthly for while we live here.

Hey guys, I just happened to be in the gym today when the guy that services the
equipment was there to determine the issue with the broken treadmill. He said
the cost to repair it is only $300. Knowing that the cost to repair isn't that
great, perhaps we can delay purchasing a treadmill and focus on just the
elliptical.
He said the elliptical is actually repairable too but they have been unable to
find a company that still sells the parts needed to repair.

Stephen, thanks for researching.
Each of the quotes, including the $8k quote is for 1 treadmill and 1
elliptical. Your research assumed that the $8k was for one treadmill
only.
Based on your prices, it still sounds like the original $8k quote is
what I would support.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex and Board,
Apologies on the delay, I have been dealing with my AC going out and a few
other items..
I would like to suggest an propose an alternative solution for
consideration. We are looking at spending $8K for a commercial grade
treadmill and ensure the lifespan of ~10 years. Meanwhile we have an out
of order elliptical machine in need of replacement and an even older
treadmill that could go out any time. There are commercial grade
residential models that are available for significantly less. I agree that
our treadmills are in a shared community and get more use than the average
home unit, but I go to the gym here frequently and they are not in use all
day long like at an LA Fitness.
We could purchase two commercial grade treadmills for less than the price
of one of the proposed options. Benefits
- Two new treadmills instead of one would result in the use being
distributed more evenly across the two units; rather, than one treadmills
being preferred over the other
- They would match! This adds to the property aesthetic value and increase
home values to younger consumers attracted to this Atlanta neighborhood.
- They have the same warranty period (I'll need to double check that use in
a shared community does not void this warranty)
- If they only last half as long as a commercial model, they more than 50%
less
http://www.treadmillreviews.net/best-treadmill/
- I looked up the best high-end treadmills... the best ranked life time
fitness commercial grade home model is $5500 and has a 10 year warranty
https://shop.lifefitness.com/club-series-treadmill?avad=50307_e12067fd9
- I have read really good things about the NordicTrack commercial
Treadmills as well. They have the heavier duty belt and bigger motor and
many other bells and whistles for under $3k (they are having a sale)
http://www.treadmillreviews.net/nordictrack-commercial-2950/
https://www.nordictrack.com/treadmills/commercial-2950-treadmill
I will call them in the morning to understand warranty at a shared
property, but we need to look at overall costs... $8K on a treadmill, while
we still need an eliptical, and may need a bike and second treadmill any
day? Replace them all with commercial grade home gym equipment and the use
will be spread out making them all last longer. PLUS no modification costs
to the structure.
Thanks,
Stephen Perry

Hi everyone,
Kyle sent out quotes for exercise equipment-- 1 treadmill and 1
eliptical:
$7719.41 - Full Commercial / Innovative Fitness
$8,260.59 - Full Commercial / Fitness Equipment Sales
$10,874.19 - Full Commercial / Fitness Equipment Sales
$4,463.34 - Light Commercial / Innovative Fitness
$4,955.48 - Light Commercial / Fitness Equipment Sales
$6,015.28 - Light Commercial / Ready Fitness
I think it's a good idea to go with the full commercial models, because
the equipment will get a lot of use and it needs to last a long time.
The full commercial models seem to have 5 year warranties, as opposed to
the 2 year warranties for the light commercial.
One other thing to consider is that we need 20 amp circuits if we go
with the $7,719 quote. I'm not sure how the clubhouse is wired, but if
changes need to be made, it would cost well over $500 for the work. The
$10,874 quote only has a 3 year warranty. I think the $8,260 quote
looks the best.
Thanks,
Alex
