Following the very unusual year we have experienced following the coronavirus pandemic, people across the country have turned to home workouts to get their fitness fix. However, with gyms, even in third tier of lockdown being able to reopen and with Christmas around the corner, it may be worth considering whether it’s time to update your gym equipment.
Gyms are ever-evolving spaces that need to adapt. Just as a business needs to respond to changing market trends, so does your gym space. Not only this, but the average lifespan of a piece of cardio equipment is only 5 years. In order to keep your gym-goers happy, your equipment needs to be updated regularly.
Similarly, for those who workout at home, your gym equipment needs to change as your fitness levels increase. For example, you will need to swap out your barbells and dumbbells for stronger weights as your strength develops.
Whether you’re a gym manager or a fitness fanatic who wants to do it all alone, we’ve outlined a couple of tells for you to review on whether it’s time for an upgrade on your used gym equipment.
How noisy is your equipment?
Weight machines and functional training equipment will make some amounts of noise, and this is to be expected. However, as your equipment wears down, it will begin to make louder levels of noise. Have you noticed sounds like gears grinding or rattling? This could be a telling sign that your equipment is about to fail.
Do you have equipment for every stage of the fitness journey?
This point is very important. If you’re doing home workouts, you should never finish a workout thinking it was easy. If you’re finding it easy to lift your strength equipment, it’s time to increase the weight slightly. By buying new equipment, you can push yourself to see new results.
Similarly, if your visitors don’t feel challenged enough at your gym, they will go to your competitors who have enough equipment for every stage of the journey.
