Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between "cardio equipment" and "cardio machines"?

Same thing — this collection is the full catalog of cardio machines we stock, grouped together without the functional-training tools (plyo boxes, battle ropes, jump ropes) that also build conditioning. If you're specifically shopping for a machine you plug in and step onto, this is the right collection.

Which cardio machine is easiest on my joints?

In order from most joint-friendly to least: recumbent bike (seated, back supported), elliptical (no foot strike), upright bike, rower (upper-body assisted), ski machine, walking treadmill, stair climber, and running treadmill. If knees are a major concern, start with a recumbent bike or elliptical.

Should I buy commercial or home-grade cardio?

Commercial-grade machines use heavy-duty motors, sealed bearings, and frames rated for 300+ lb users and daily multi-hour use. Worth it if multiple family members will use it daily, or if the user is over 225 lb. Home-grade machines are lighter-duty with shorter warranties — fine for 3–5 sessions a week at moderate intensity. Almost all brands we carry include both tiers.

Do cardio machines come with warranties?

Yes, with tiered coverage: most commercial machines offer a lifetime frame warranty, 10+ years on motors (treadmills), and 2–5 years on parts and labor. Home-grade machines typically come with 10-year frame, 2-year parts, and 1-year labor. Exact terms vary by model and are listed on each product page.

Do I need a service plan?

For home use, usually no — most cardio machines require only routine cleaning and occasional belt lubrication (on treadmills). For commercial facilities with daily use by multiple members, an annual service plan is a smart investment to catch wear before it becomes a breakdown. Our Commercial team can coordinate service packages on larger orders.

Can cardio equipment be delivered and installed?

Yes — most cardio machines ship freight to your curb with the option to add lift-gate and inside delivery upgrades at checkout. Some commercial treadmills and ellipticals arrive pre-assembled or require minimal setup. For facility-scale orders, we coordinate white-glove installation. Full details on our Shipping Policy page.
