Buying Equipment: Going Once, Going Twice

When other fitness facilities put their used equipment up for auction, you can find some great bargains.

When it comes time to purchase fitness equipment, the decision is never easy. Can you squeeze more life out of what you have? Can you afford to buy or lease new equipment? Can you supplement your existing lines with a few pieces without making an investment in a whole new line?

One of my favorite strategies over the years has been to enhance our facility's existing lines of equipment with used equipment. This should not be done lightly. Used equipment must blend with the pieces you already own, it must be in good condition and you should only do this if you can find a real bargain. Where do you find those bargains? Find fitness centers that are auctioning off their equipment.
