The self-isolation regime and the unfavorable epidemiological situation had not only negative, but also unexpected positive effects. Thousands of people thought about their health, an integral part of maintaining which is regular physical activity. Those who are accustomed to regularly visiting the gym and now not having such an opportunity also found themselves in a stressful situation.

A lot of people are seriously considering buying a home workout machine, but few people think about the fact that the machine can simply be rented.

Why rent a simulator before buying?

• You can try several types of equipment for home use, evaluating their convenience and effect.
• When renting a simulator, you will immediately see the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen model during operation and then you can make an informed decision about buying such equipment or abandoning it.
• You will clearly see if there is a place in your home, you may have to make a choice in favor of folding or small-sized options.

Rent of simulators Moscow is in demand among those who need rehabilitation after injury or surgery, as well as among athletes who are intensively preparing for competitions. If the thing is needed for a short period, why pay its full price - just rent it and get rid of the need to attach it to new owners after it is no longer needed.

Even if a rented simulator did not suit you at all, the money spent will become a kind of insurance - after all, you have not spent 10-20 times more on a purchase and acquired a new interesting experience that will be useful in the future.

Where and how can you rent a simulator?

At the moment, there are not many options in Runet. We have selected 3 for review.

Rental service - Next2U

Next2U is a unique site that specializes in the rental of things, including sports equipment. The service acts as an intermediary between the landlord and the tenant.

Why is the service interesting?

1. Low prices.
2. The ability to easily select the appropriate option according to important criteria, a detailed description and photo of each model. Convenient search will help you choose exactly what you need in the closest area. Perhaps the simulator you need is right in the next house?
3. There are offers with delivery, with or without a deposit, for a week or for half a year - set the parameters in the search bar at your discretion.
4. The technical support of the service will be happy to answer any questions regarding the operation of the site at any time.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting that the choice of simulators is still poor, but it's only a matter of time.

Yandex.Servicesand

Unlike the previous service, Yandex.services have already collected a large “assortment” of options, but with the difference that most of the offers are commercial, that is, from companies, not from individuals.

Service advantages:

1. A well-known service is an intermediary between the customer and the landlord, which means that if any problems arise, you will be protected and you can contact support.
2. No need to waste time searching through catalogs - landlords will respond themselves and you will be able to choose the most suitable option based on the responses that come to you.
3. You can also directly contact one of the organizations registered on the service yourself.
4. In this system, it is possible to rate the lessor based on the reviews left by other customers.
5. Rent is possible from both individuals and legal entities.
6. A convenient application form allows you to specify all the necessary parameters: for example, you can consider offers only with a photo or with the possibility of self-pickup.
7. The service is free of charge.

However, there are also disadvantages:

1. Collecting responses to your application can take a long time.
2. The rent may turn out to be higher than with direct interaction with the landlord, because the service takes a commission and payment for each response.
3. A small selection of landlords - at the moment there are only 120 companies and individuals throughout Moscow.
4. Most of the participants do not have any feedback - most likely, the service or this particular section of it is not very popular at the moment.

Avito

Well, where without our terrible and great Avito The service is the most famous in Russia and does not need any special introduction.

Let's start with the main thing. Avito does not have a separate rental search function, so all ads will always be mixed. And this, of course, makes the search very difficult.

Pros:

1. Relatively large number of offers
2. There are no commissions, margins, difficult conditions.
3. The ability to conduct a dialogue with other users in a convenient way: in a chat on the site, by going to other messengers or by phone.
4. There is a service "Avito.Delivery".

Cons of this method:

1. Unfortunately, on the online bulletin board there are not only honest landlords, but also a lot of scammers who can ask for a deposit, provide a low-quality simulator, just deceive gullible people by posting other people's photos in their profile.
2. Renting without a contract and paying a deposit to a stranger can be fraught with loss of money.
3. The rent of simulators is currently offered by only 140 people / organizations throughout the capital, and for a specific name there are only 5-10 options at best. Mostly people here are selling, not renting.

Conclusions

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no decent specialized service on the Russian Internet. Each of the options has its own obvious disadvantages. Nevertheless, even now, if you wish, you can find the necessary simulator for rent, if you make an effort.
