Treadmill Hire in Geelong: Should You Hire or Buy?

Geelong is a great place to run until the wind comes off Corio Bay in July or it is dark by half past five. A treadmill at home solves that, but should you hire one or buy one? Here is how to decide.

When Hiring a Treadmill Makes Sense

• You have a short-term goal. Training for an event, getting through winter, or rehab after an injury or surgery.
• You are not sure you will keep using it. Hiring for a few months costs far less than a machine that ends up as a clothes rack.
• You want to try before you buy. A month on a treadmill tells you more than ten minutes in a showroom.
• You are renting or moving soon. When the hire ends, we collect it. Nothing to sell or move.
• You do not want to deal with repairs. A hire treadmill is serviced before delivery and looked after during your hire.

When Buying Makes Sense

• You already know you will use it most days, for years
• Several people in the house will use it
• You have a permanent spot for it

If you want to own one without paying the full amount upfront, our Rent to Buy option is a purchase spread over a 52-week payment plan. We also sell Spirit and Bodyworx treadmills outright.

What to Look For in a Hire Treadmill

• Walking or running? Runners need a longer, wider belt and a stronger motor than walkers.
• User weight rating. Check it suits everyone who will use it.
• Folding or fixed. Folding treadmills suit spare rooms and living areas. Fixed-deck machines are sturdier for heavy running.
• Where it is going. Measure the space, and tell us about any stairs.
