Help! - I want to purchase a Trendmill

Hi,

I want to purchase a trendmill, but not sure where I should buy it. Is there a difference between buying it at Sears or http://www.fitnessdepot.ca ???? I just started to research trendmills and any feedback/suggestions is welcomed. The only difference I see between the to is the cost and brand name...When I spoke to a salesperson at fitness depot a long time ago they mentioned that I would have a hard time getting parts if I purchased the trendmill from a place like Sears or Walmart. He meant if my trendmill every needed repairing. He also mentioned trendmills from Sears or Walmart don't last long..Then again the salesperson has fitness depot best interest and of course would try to sell it to me....

Help! Does anybody own a trendmill?? or equpiment that would benefit an overall workout??

I am fully aware I can't spot reduce. I am trying to do an over all workout without using to many weights because I bulk up easy. I am over all thin expect for my thighs(legs)... Sqats and leg exercise don't work for me, no results...I use to workout at a gym and found using weights on my legs make my thighs look even more huge...I did notice if I run or use a skip rope I get the results I am looking for, so any help is greatly appreciated...Being that I live in Canada and winter season will come about I can't run outside and like the idea being able to workout at home.

Thanks for reading my blab...lol

I have a treadmill and a bike from Proform. They seem to have the best equipment at reasonable prices. It doesn't matter where you get them from, it just depends on the brand and quality.
