Exercise equipment that you’ll never use

$2200 (not counting tax and shipping) for a fucking tire.

And you only get half of it.

 

What the hell!?! I helped the owner of the gym I go to get some take-offs from a tractor dealer for like $100 each.

 

Exactly.

 

BTW, the two women aren’t included.

 

Shake Weight was great just for the women in the commercial shaking it in a sports bra.

 

I could see a gym buying one of these - a lot safer than flipping actual tires (which would also require a lot more room). The nordic trac is still the king for me though - everytime I think cross country skiing would be fun, I remember how boring it is. But I guess less cold inside.

 

The motion seemed handy too.

 

I wish I were in the room when the advertisers were discussing those ads.

"So it's just a women making a motion like she is jacking a guy off?"

"Pretty much."

"Run with it."

[Edit] I probably stole that joke from some 90's comedian.

 

The Thigh Master, as advertised by Suzanne Somers way back when.

I know, because I bought one, thinking it might be an easy, cheap way to work out at home on my heavier-than-I'd-like thighs.

Oh, I tried it -- once. And knew I'd never use it again.

I never did.

 

Look at this! It’s a clothes drying rack I can ski on!

 

I like how these thread titles are becoming more like clues from the $25,000 Pyramid.

 

My gym has two, I think.
