When you're just getting into a new type of exercise, you're either going to be SO excited and overzealous that you buy all the gear that's ever been created for this workout (and then some), or opt for rentals and try to save as much money as possible until you're truly ready to commit.
Let's evaluate the best time to buy versus rent. Unless you belong to an all-inclusive gym where rentals are covered, you'll likely be shelling out the dough for a studio class, plus the tacked-on rental fee for the necessary gear. At first, you might be saving money, but after a while, these rentals can add up. Not only that, but is renting sweaty, used equipment the most sanitary option? Here's a breakdown of the major products that are available for rent at boutique studios and gyms.
If you're new to fitness and dabbling in different styles to find out what you love, it's smart to be more choosy with your purchases - you don't need to dive in head first! But also consider that making a modest investment in this gear is also making a commitment to and investment in your health and perhaps will hold you more accountable so you actually use the gear. Who knows, maybe a financial commitment will help you stay focused on your fitness goals!
