Used Refurbished Vs. New Fitness Equipment

          If you have been thinking about or are planning to open a personal training studio, Rehab or Wellness Center, Clubhouse or Hotel, Corporate Gym or just want to update your club you will find this newsletter very helpful. 

If money was not an object “New" would be the way to go, no matter who you are. If you have been working out at a gym for a while there is not a chance that you would be happy with any type of home cardio or strength equipment. You are looking at $5000 to $6000 per piece for a Treadmill or Elliptical like the one you have been using in your gym and $20,000 to $40,000 for strength equipment. This is where refurbished equipment is the answer. For about 40% less you can get the exact same equipment that you have been using in your gym.

Three Ways To Save Money:

1. Used Fitness Equipment – Don’t let the word "Used" scare you.  We get in 100’s of pieces of equipment a month, some of it has been used hard and some are still in like new condition.  It’s mostly strength equipment we are talking about. There is no need to tear it down and replace parts that are in excellent condition, we save money  and pass this savings on to you the customer. You might find a scratch or chip somewhere but the equipment is aesthetically in great condition and works perfectly.
2. Cleaned & Serviced – When we purchase equipment from smaller gyms, normally the equipment has not been used 15 Hrs. per day 7 Days a week like a larger fitness chain would have.  All it needs is to be Cleaned & Serviced, which means that the machine is checked for worn parts, that are replaced with new, and any cosmetic issues are taken care of.
3. Refurbished Fitness Equipment – Some of the Used Fitness Equipment we get in was used pretty hard and there is no way we would sell it in its present condition. The machine is taken to our Refurbishing Department where it is totally stripped down and rebuilt with new original parts, and repainted.  When finished it is back to as close to new again as possible.   

Still Undecided?

            Well if you have the money you may want to go with New Equipment, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t save yourself some money by purchasing your Strength New and Cardio Refurbished or Your Free Weight Equipment Cleaned and Serviced. The money you save can be put towards membership promotions, Gym Updates or maintenance, or extra staff.

Before you purchase any equipment send us an email or call us and let us know what you are thinking of doing, we would be glad to send you a quote and let you decide from there if Used, Cleaned & Serviced, or Refurbished Fitness Gym equipment is best for you.
