6 Hot Tips On Buying Reconditioned Exercise Equipment

By: Dean Iggo

Building a home gym is a great way to jump start your fitness
program. Finding all of the components you enjoy using at a
fitness center to add to your home collection can help save you
money in the long run. In the short term, though, it can seem to
be costing you an excess amount of money. From treadmills to
ellipticals to exercise bikes, purchasing reconditioned exercise
equipment can save you money and create your ideal gym.
Reconditioned equipment usually comes from commercial facilities
like gyms, hospitals, and schools who have recently updated
their holdings.

Tips on Buying Reconditioned Exercise Equipment

1.Be sure the company you are purchasing from has the desired
item in stock. Because the refurbishing equipment can take some
time due to a number of factors, waiting on back-ordered
equipment in this situation is a really poor idea.

2.Get some references from your dealer of previous customers.
This can help you decide if you want to use this dealer to buy
your refurbished equipment.

3.Talk to the company about how long you can expect the
equipment to last. Some companies offer warranties on brand
names like Precor and Star Trac. Other companies can at least
inform you of how long and how hard the equipment was used in
the first place.

4.Check with several different refurbished equipment dealers. As
with any purchase, you want to shop around to get the best
possible deal.

5.Be sure the equipment you are examining is what you want. If
you're unsure, do not purchase it. It will only mean another
piece of unused furniture to decorate your home.

6.Finally, investigate the refurbishing process. This can help
you decide how well the company you are dealing with fixes the
equipment you are looking to add to your home gym.
