How to choose the right exercise machine for you?

Choosing the right exercise machine depends on many factors: Your training goals, health condition, and available space at home. Do you want to support rehabilitation after surgery, lose weight, or prepare for a marathon? Each machine has its unique advantages – for example, an exercise bike is ideal for protecting joints, while a treadmill offers the most intense calorie burning. The comprehensive comparison table below will help you determine which training method suits your lifestyle and needs.

Kodusport.ee’s goal is to make healthy movement accessible without a long-term financial commitment.

Our family business takes care of everything: we deliver the chosen machine to Tallinn or Harjumaa, install it in your living room, and instruct you on how to use it safely. If your goals change, exchanging or returning the machine is easy and convenient.
