Used Fitness Equipment Buying Guide

CHOOSE YOUR MAKE & MODEL

Reliability: Start by researching reputable brands and models known for reliability and durability.
Features: Narrow down your list to determine which of those pieces of equipment has the features you want.
Assess Your Space: Measure not only the area, but also the ceiling height, where you plan to place the equipment to ensure it will fit comfortably. Remember to account for yourself on top of a standing piece of equipment like a treadmill or elliptical to ensure there is room for you to actually use the machine.
Market Value: Look up the new price of the equipment to gauge whether the used price is a good deal.

INSPECT THE EQUIPMENT

Physical Condition:

Check for Wear and Tear: Look for rust, cracks, or other signs of damage.
Test Functionality: Make sure all parts work correctly, including moving parts, electronic displays, and adjustments.
Check Upholstery: Ensure padding or seats are not worn out or torn.
Inspect for Cleanliness: Check if the equipment is clean and free of mold, grime, or unpleasant odors.

Mechanical Condition:

Test Stability: Ensure the equipment is stable and doesn’t wobble.
Inspect Moving Parts: Listen for unusual noises or grinding sounds.
Check Belts and Cables: Ensure they are intact and show no signs of excessive wear.

REPUTABLE SELLERS

Authorized Dealers: Dealers like Fitness Exchange specialize in refurbished equipment and will sell used equipment with a warranty.

Trusted Marketplaces: Look for equipment on reputable platforms with good seller reviews.

Test Drive: Ensure that you can test the equipment to confirm its condition and functionality.

Service: Consider what your options are for repairs after the sale. Many companies will not service equipment they did not sell.

DELIVERY & ASSEMBLY

Delivery Options: Determine if the seller offers delivery and if there are any additional costs involved to hire transport or assembly team.

Self-Transport: If picking up the equipment yourself, ensure you have the necessary transportation and tools for assembly if required.

Assembly: Most fitness equipment requires assembly. Confirm if the seller provides this service or if you’ll need to do it yourself.
