Which is better for losing weight?

The treadmill burns calories through sustained cardio, which is easier to measure. The FED gym builds muscle, which raises resting burn over time. Most people do better with the treadmill first if they will actually run on it.

Can I run on the Costway treadmill?

It is sold as a running machine with a 3HP peak motor. Peak horsepower is not the same as continuous output, so check the user weight limit before fast running.

Is the FED gym worth the extra money?

At $672 versus $299.99, it costs about $372 more. It replaces several strength machines, so it is worth it if strength training is your goal and you have the floor space.

Which takes up less space?

The Costway folds and can be stored upright between sessions. The FED gym stays set up and needs height clearance for pull-ups and dips.

Do either include workout programs?

The Costway has 2 built-in programs and tracks average speed. The FED gym lists no electronics, so you track sets and reps yourself.

The FED gym is mostly steel, stack and cables with little to wear out. Treadmill belts, motors and decks wear with use, and the 3.6 rating from 5 buyers is a thin signal on durability.
