Where can you try out exercise equipment in the NOVA/MD/DC area? - more inside

I went to Dick’s and they had very little on display. Maybe 10 out of date machines. I see many websites offering shipping, but I’d like to feel the equipment and compare them before committing to this expensive purchase.

We are looking for an elliptical and a rowing machine for home use.

Can you check out local gyms in your area? Figure out what you like, check out those brands and options, and go from there?

Local gyms require memberships. I don’t think testing equipment is allowed.

Pretty much every gym allows to do a 1-3 day trial, or go with a friend for free. Just say you're looking into checking out local gyms, then Goldilocks the equipment.

Aren’t the machines at gyms high end in the $4k-$6k range?
