Top 5 Fitness Equipment Manufacturers for New Gyms
Everyone wants their new gym or fitness facility to succeed. Whether you are creating a standalone gym or a community amenity, the payoff needs to be worth the time, energy, and (perhaps most importantly) money you are investing. One of the biggest determining factors of gym success is the equipment you choose. Let’s take a look at why quality gym equipment brands are so important, and the 5 top manufacturers for gym owners, developers, and managers to consider.
The Importance of Fitness Equipment Brands
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for — and this is especially true for fitness equipment. While it might be tempting to save money on your installation, this can actually cost you far more long-term. Let’s take a closer look.
High repair costs
High-quality machines are less likely to require frequent repair, maintenance, or early replacement. For example, let’s say you save on upfront costs by getting a low-quality treadmill instead of a high-end brand. While this can save you money in the short-term, you may quickly find yourself ordering a replacement motor and paying for labor charges on top. Then, you are left with a cheaper piece of equipment that actually costs you more over time.
Less value for exercisers
Why should exercisers come to your gym? The truth is, many people could buy cheap fitness products for their home online if that’s what they wanted. The appeal to your gym is that they can access a variety of high-quality equipment that they may not be able to afford otherwise. If you are not providing a great value and experience to your exercisers, they will likely go find a gym that does.
Lower return on investment
When you invest in a gym, you likely want it to provide some return. You need to maintain the resale/investor value of your facility while earning a return that will make the work worth your while. High-quality fitness equipment will help you attract more exercisers, whether your target audience is residents, students, members, or employees. Additionally, these machines have higher trade-in values that will make the next upgrade easier.
