Buying Remanufactured Treadmills, Ellipticals, and Fitness Equipment: A Guide
Remanufactured commercial fitness equipment, such as treadmills and ellipticals, offers a cost-effective way to get high-quality gear for your home or gym. Here's a guide to help you find the best remanufactured equipment without getting ripped off.
Understanding Remanufactured Equipment
Remanufactured, refurbished, or reconditioned?"these terms often confuse buyers, but essentially, they refer to equipment that's been restored to good working condition. Here's what you should know:
- Cost Savings: Remanufactured equipment can be 30-70% cheaper than new. Dreamed of having a Precor Elliptical or Life Fitness treadmill at home? Now you can afford it!
- Definitions Vary: There's no industry standard for what "remanufactured" means, so the quality of work can differ significantly. Some companies might only clean and paint the equipment, while others perform in-depth restorations. Always ask for the company's specific process.
The Remanufacturing Process
Here's a typical journey of a piece of gym equipment being remanufactured:
1. Source: Equipment usually comes from large gym chains that lease and regularly upgrade their machines.
2. Refurbishment: A quality remanufacturer will:
- Strip the equipment to its frame
- Sandblast to remove rust (some might just paint over it)
- Repaint with high-quality paint
- Replace wear items like bearings and grips
- Diagnose and repair electronics
3. Quality Control: Potential issues, especially in electronics, are addressed. Problems often appear in the first 30-60 days, so if your equipment lasts beyond that, it's likely to be reliable.
Why Choose Remanufactured?
- For Gyms: Smaller fitness centers can rival larger chains by offering high-quality equipment at a reduced cost. This can help them achieve profitability faster.
- For Home Users: Enjoy the same top-tier machines from gyms at home for a fraction of the price. Avoid the disappointment of downgrading to lesser-quality home models.
Where to Buy
Some reliable sources for remanufactured fitness equipment include Megafitness, Big Fitness, Fitness 909, and Fit4Sale. However, Treadmills Central currently stands out for their impressive offerings like Precor and Life Fitness units.
Final Tips
- Research: Spend time understanding the remanufacturing process of the seller.
- Test: If possible, test the equipment or look for reviews and testimonials.
- Contact: Feel free to reach out with questions or for recommendations.
Buying remanufactured equipment can be a smart investment if done carefully. Enjoy your purchase and the savings it brings!
