    Whatever you do, don't buy a cheap elliptical machine unless you've personally used that exact model elsewhere for at least 30 minutes. A few years ago, I bought a ProForm 545e. It felt fine during...

    The Pembroke Pines store still had the 545 cage. They also had a suitable bench to use with it. Their plates are 49c/pound, but you'd absolutely...

    Howdy, neighbor :)

    Miami-Ft Lauderdale is pretty dismal. Oshman's at Dolphin Mall used to be decent, but now they're just another Sports Authority (with equally-overpriced junk). Dick's Sporting...
