Our Approach

Envision. Design. Plan. Outfit.

Advantage is the key to unlocking a full range of resources. From concept development and delivery to post-installation service, we support you in creating, maintaining, and securing the future of your fitness spaces. 

Since 1987.

Our in-depth facility and design services allow us to bring your vision to life. Once we learn more about your goals and audience, our team will use 2D and 3D design tools to determine what types of equipment will fit your facility and best serve your audience. These tools also help us maximize your facility’s usage and flow, ensuring anyone who enters your fitness center has the best experience possible.

Once your facility is ready for fitness equipment, we’ll deliver your order to ensure your products arrive undamaged and in peak condition. During delivery, our assembly and installation professionals will place, test, and ensure all products are fully operational based on strict industry standards. By turning to us for delivery and installation services, you’ll know your fitness equipment is safely installed and in the best condition to give your audience an exceptional experience.

We believe in building strong relationships, and we do so by providing preventative maintenance and repairs long after we’ve installed equipment. Since our factory-certified service technicians will provide onsite equipment maintenance during and after your warranty term, we’ll maximize the lifespan of your equipment. Properly maintaining equipment, like treadmills, can also save you money by helping equipment run more efficiently, lowering unnecessary energy costs. Our excellent preventative maintenance options can also help you save money, as they lower the risk of needing to replace equipment early.

"From start to finish the experience of working with Advantage was fantastic."

“During this renovation and expansion project, we grew from approximately 800 square feet of fitness-dedicated space to about 4,000 square feet. From start to finish the experience of working with Advantage was fantastic. Members absolutely love the new fitness equipment, and we do too. It’s all top of the line, high-tech, and very durable. Since the grand opening there has been overwhelming excitement for everything we did.”

"It was a joy to partner with them on this project."

“I have worked with this same developer for over a decade and always enjoy the collaboration between us. Banner Lane was a completely new experience for our partnership. Bringing a higher focus on the amenity fitness offering, opened new discussions about tenant expectations. The scope of the Banner Lane gym is many times larger than previous fitness offerings we’ve executed. It was a joy to partner with them on this project. And the finished product is amazing!”

"It’s a space that the student-athletes love coming to and a space that the coaches love showing off to parents, recruits, and alumni."

“Rob was outstanding and made the whole renovation process from concept to installation very easy. Rob was always a quick phone call or email away to help us navigate and manage all the moving pieces that comes with a large project like a weight room renovation. The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive from administration, coaches, student-athletes, and staff. It’s a space that the student-athletes love coming to and a space that the coaches love showing off to parents, recruits, and alumni.”

"ASF possesses excellent customer service, always reaching out with updates before we ever had to ask for one."

“Purchasing equipment for a new gym or remodeling an existing one is a huge undertaking and a lot can go wrong. ASF possesses excellent customer service, always reaching out with updates before we ever had to ask for one. Deliveries were seamless, and ASF even worked with us to sell existing equipment, where applicable.”

"The branding that we put on the equipment knocked the project out of the park."

“Robbie was knowledgeable on every piece of equipment from the floor up. He and I worked extremely hard to design a facility that would accommodate physical education students as well as student-athletes. I wanted to change the culture here at Kiski Area when it comes to students working out. The branding that we put on the equipment knocked the project out of the park.”

"Time and time again, they have met and even exceeded our expectations."

“No matter how many times plans changed, timelines were adjusted or repetitive questions were asked, the Advantage team never showed us any frustration or impatience. They adapted every single time and the outcome was better than we could have ever imagined. Advantage Sport and Fitness has been a great partner to High Point University for over 15 years. Time and time again, they have met and even exceeded our expectations.”

"Nic and ASF were there every step of the way to help bring our ideas to life."

“I really enjoyed working with the Advantage Crew; from day one planning to the last installation Nic and ASF were there every step of the way to help bring our ideas to life. They’ve helped make the experience of designing a new facility fun and exciting. With their expertise we have been able to re-brand our Sport Performance program; with personalization of our racks, bars, and plates for a visual that will separate us from the crowd. I look forward to our continuing relationship as we continue to grow and progress.”
