Hi. My name is Shalisha Alston and I'm a native New Yorker. I love exercise and fitness. I became interested in treadmills and ellipticals when I lost 90 pounds in 6 months back in October 1998. I've never looked back.

It's easy to lose weight and keep it off - if you do aerobic exercise. No, not the kind you see on television. I mean like treadmills and elliptical machines. Gym memberships are too expensive and people are trying to save money. So the alternative is to buy a home treadmill or elliptical.

But you've got to know what kinds of treadmill and elliptical machines to buy or you'll just be wasting your hard earned money. That's where I come in.

I rate and review treadmills based on my personal experience with them. I guess you can tell I'm a gym rat. That's even better because then I can give you my HONEST opinion in my reviews.
