Secrets For How to Buy Used Commercial Exercise Equipment

By buying used commercial exercise equipment, I am slightly embarrassed because I was never someone who bought used. I had only bought brand new name brand machines and now with the economy I had rethought my position.

Brand new fitness equipment is very expensive but I was lost because I didn't know I had other options. Fortunately I had found an entire industry that is based around used commercial exercise equipment. Now you need to follow a few guidelines to ensure that you aren't buying some other fitness clubs or rehabilitation centers headaches.

Doing your homework first can and will save you thousands of dollars and afford you pieces of gym equipment that you could have only dreamed of owning in the past. Now you can actually own these former professional health club machines for your own home gym or add to your existing health clubs fitness arsenal.

Now to be on the safe side here are a few suggestions that will be helpful when choosing a used commercial fitness equipment company. First would be the reputation of the company, do they have references. Former and current customers who can vouch for their character and products.

Second would be do they have their own exercise equipment repair service team. The reason is simple because you want them to have the parts in stock should any problems arise. Plus by having their own fitness repair service you know that they take apart and reassemble the machines before they leave the warehouse floor.

Third would be their customer service department, do they even have a customer service department? Since this is still a relatively new industry many of these companies are one man bands who are operating out of the garage so be careful.

Lastly would be the size of their warehouse because this ensures they have the facility to buy the pieces of gym equipment in bulk so you can get the best deals on the market since the company often purchases distressed health clubs fitness equipment before they close their doors forever and then hopefully fix them up to like new condition. Then they turn around and sell them to provide individuals, other fitness clubs or rehabilitation centers.

These are just a few tips on buying used commercial exercise equipment and remember if the deal seems to good to be true it probably is so walk away.
