USED GYM EQUIPMENT
HOW
WE DO IT
Dear
Business Professional,
It's
time to cut your Business operating expenses wherever you can. The
exercise machines you need to buy for your Business are an EXPENSE!
No different than your computers or telephones.
I
know you agree with the above statement. But how do you do it with
confidence? How do you cut your operating expenses by 50% and still
deliver on your promise to your customers? Saving money does you no
good if it creates big problems for you next year.
The
good news is Used Gym Equipment has found the formula for success.
YOUR SUCCESS! Steve Paterson is the President and has been in the
GYM REPO Business since 1989. Steve has brought all his contacts,
experiences, and top performers together to build a Company that puts
YOU first. Saving money on your Gym equipment is now SAFER than ever
before.
Used
Gym Equipment.com Has Put Together
The Best Team and Partners
Steve
has built his team and partners around the customers' best interest.
Since 1989 he has learned how to run a refurbished commercial Gym equipment business
right. What to do and what NOT to do have been learned through experience.
The
first step was finding the right REFURBISHING FACTORY to do the re-building
of this Bank repossessed fitness equipment. Finding the right factory
was the most important key to success.
Global
Fitness Inc. Has Been A Refurbishing Factory For 15 Years
Mike Citroni is a class act. He has been running the
Global Fitness remanufacturing factory since I met him in the early
90's. Building a quality-remanufacturing factory is not an easy task.
It's easy to get short sighted and take shortcuts that bring in more
profits today, that leave the buyer 'hung-out-to-dry' tomorrow. Take-the-money-and-run
is what too many Businesses in this Industry are doing. But doing
the right thing when it's important, is what Used Gym Equipment
was looking for.
After
all possibilities were evaluated the choice was easy. NOBODY CAME
CLOSE TO THE PROFESSIONALISM, ATTENTION TO DETAIL, AND CREDIBILITY
OF GLOBAL FITNESS, Period !
Steve
Paterson said; "
I sleep well at night knowing Global Fitness is refurbishing the
fitness equipment for our customers."
Our
2 Visions Were So Compatible UsedGymEquipment.com
Became A Division Of Global Fitness
Our
vision is to refurbish a quality product that can safely reduce your
operating expenses when it comes to your FITNESS MACHINES. You must
have an adequate supply of Commercial Gym equipment to satisfy YOUR
clients. And you need enough fitness machines to handle your busiest
hours. Your customers demand professional equipment available when
they are ready to exercise. Plain and simple.
Used
Gym Equipment.com Invests $350,000
Every Month To Assure You Save Money
The whole operation is obviously a huge undertaking. With over 42 employees
and a monthly payroll of more than $100,000 dollars. More than $75,000
a month in warehouse leases. The monthly expense to buy replacement
parts to refurbish the equipment is over $40,000. Over $30,000 every
month is spent on trucking this equipment to our warehouse. The cost
to buy this used equipment every month is more than $200,000 dollars.
The
point is we've made the necessary investments to
assure a consistent product for you.
We've
Put Ourselves In A Position That Forces Us To Perform For YOU,
Or We Don't Make A Profit
We
are not TRYING to impress you but YOU need to see our commitment.
If you are not a satisfied customer we will not make money. Our whole
business is based on the premise that we will satisfy you and you
will buy from us on your next fitness project. Our success depends
on you referring more business because we did a great job for you.
We can't be successful year after year after year if we don't perform
as promised.
After
We Buy This Used Fitness Equipment The Hard Work Begins For Us
We
learned a long time ago that buying and selling this bank repo'd and
used fitness equipment was the easy part. Building the facilities
and staff to re-manufacture & refurbish this pre-owned equipment
was the real challenge.
Guaranteed
To Work Like New
And Make Everybody Think You Paid Full Price
After
we buy this depreciated fitness equipment we have it trucked into
our receiving warehouse in Los Angeles. Here it is tested, evaluated,
diagnosed and a "work order" is produced. The machines are
then taken to the proper department for refurbishing and the work
begins.
Each machine is completely disassembled down to its smallest components.
Then the parts are tested, meticulously detailed, scrubbed, painted
and re-stickered. The brand new replacement parts are organized and
re-assembly begins.
Once a machine is put back together a Certified Master Technician
tests it before it's delivered. The technician who completed the work
signs off each machine, assuring quality control and accountability.
Top
Brand Commercial Fitness Machines Are Built To Be Remanufactured Refurbished
They
are built to be used 15 hours every day and last for years. It's like
a racecar at the Indy 500 pulling into the pit stop. When parts wear
out, it's easy to diagnose the problem and replace the worn out part
cost effectively. This brings the machine back to full capacity. Gym
equipment is built to last for years and years with basic maintenance.
(Go
to Parts
and Repair Club section for discounts on replacement parts)
This
Knowledge Is How We Built The Refurbishing Factory
When
our clients come tour the 3 warehouses, they are amazed. They enter the
warehouses with over 5,000 Used fitness machines. It looks like 50 health
clubs went out of business.
When
our clients tour the state-of-the-art re-manufacturing factory, they
say they've never seen anything like it. When they see our finished
product, they think it's brand new. After we convince them that it's
not brand new, they tell us they will never buy new fitness machines
again.
We
Warranty This Equipment And Give You A National Service Technician
Network.
We
only sell the top American brands: Life Fitness, Cybex, Stairmaster,
Precor, Nautilus, Flex, Icarian, HAMMER, Star Trac, Icarian, Paramount,
and others. The manufacturers of these products have built a national
service/repair network that we have access to when our customers need
service. It's as easy for us to repair a treadmill in New York as
it is in California. The point is your service needs are handled as
good or better than the major manufacturers provide you.
You
Get Warranty With Your Order And You Can Buy A Longer
Extended Warranty For Piece Of Mind.
Treadmill
warranties are $249 for 12 months (excludes belt and deck). Ellipticals,
Crosstrainers and steppers cost $199 for an extra 12 months. Bikes
and strength equipment cost $129 for an extra 12-month parts replacement.
We
Make The Buying Process Simple So You Can Spend
More Time Running Your Business
We
know your time is valuable so we make the process easy. It starts
with a phone call from you to one of our trained representatives.
You are asked some very important questions to provide us with the
information needed to complete a proposal with freight costs.
After you receive your proposal you'll get a follow up call from your
rep to answer any questions you have. When all your questions and
concerns are answered and the deal looks better than your other options,
you start your order.
Your equipment will be ready to deliver in 15 to 30 working days.
Professional
trucking Companies will deliver your fitness machines safely, with no hassles for you.
After
Your Order Is Remanufactured, You Can Fly Into LAX Airport, Rent A Car
& Be At The Warehouse In 10 Minutes. Make A Final Inspection &
Fly Home The Same Day. Or You can Call The Factory's Long
List Of References Over The Last 10 Years For Confidence.
Everybody
is worried about buying Used Gym equipment and you should be. We don't
want you to take a gamble on us. Don't go out on a limb and risk your
capital and reputation. Make your first purchase with caution and
just order one or 2 machines to assure quality. We set up your order
with full protection as well as the 30-day money back guarantee. (Less
freight costs incurred.)
When
your equipment shows up on the truck you can make a final quality
inspection. If it does not meet your expectations, just tell the truck
driver to take it away and refuse the delivery.
You
have very little to risk
You
have to pay the FACTORY before your equipment ships because our profit
margins are too low to be the BANK. The new equipment sellers want
to offer terms of payment because they are making huge profits on
every sale. They can afford to offer terms.
If
the refurbished Factory offered terms of payment they would have to
charge at least 10% more on every sale. But they don't !
We
do have a great lease purchase program for businesses. Most financial
institutions do not like to finance used equipment. So we've built
a relationship with a financial institution to provide financing for
purchases of our Refurbished fitness equipment. Talk to your representative
for a lease application.
The
pressure to grow in today's Business climate is high.
Grow or die is the new rule of the future.
You
have to save every penny you can on your operating expenses. It's
just fitness equipment and it doesn't have to be brand new to please
your clients. Take the saved capital and use it in other areas to
grow your Business.
Your
clients don't care if you pay $5,700 for your treadmill or $2,100.
They just want a professional fitness machine to be in working order
when they enter your Fitness Center and want to workout. Your customers
don't care if the equipment is new or refurbished. They don't care
if your treadmills were made last month or 3 years ago.
The
Only Difference Is How Much Money It COSTS YOU
How
much of your operating capital had to be used to buy your NEW equipment?
How much of your marketing and selling budget had to be used to fund
this NEW fitness equipment purchase?
You
Have To Look At The Opportunity Of Reducing Your Expenses And Move
That Money To Your Marketing Budget To Increase Your Sales
When you save $3,000 dollars buying a refurbished treadmill, in the
next 2 years you will average only $300 a year in repairs. So you
are $2,400 ahead at the end of 2 years. So you can provide the same
result to your clients and save $2,400 per treadmill ! And the savings
add up on every fitness machine you buy refurbished.
You
Do The Math
What
could this extra money do to improve your Business? Do you think your
customers know the difference between a machine made yesterday or
3 years ago? They don't know or care.
Think
About it
"Marketing
and Sales is where you need to have
your money these days."
