What Kind Of Equipment Should I Invest In For My Gym

There are many different pieces of equipment that you can consider investing in for your gym, and the best options for you will depend on your specific goals, the space available, and your budget. Here are some common pieces of equipment that are often found in gyms:

1. Cardio equipment: treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical trainers, rowing machines, etc. Pro Tip: make sure you are looking at true commercial products, not the ones that say “commercial” such as Nordic Track (it is FOR HOME!) Also, don’t forget to look over warranty info on your new commercial machine.
2. Strength training equipment: free weights (dumbbells, barbells, etc.), weight machines, resistance bands, etc. Pro Tip: Again, home equipment is not safe or desired in the commercial space, plus it is a huge liability for you and your clients. No one feels safe bench pressing on a $100 bench.
3. Functional training equipment: kettlebells, sandbags, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, etc. Pro Tip: Some of these items are wear items, meaning they will need replacing more frequently than other products.
4. Other equipment: yoga mats, foam rollers, stability balls, jump ropes, etc. Pro Tip: Same with these wear items. The higher the quality, the longer they will last.

It's important to choose high-quality equipment that is safe and durable, and to consider the needs of your target audience. If you plan to offer group fitness classes, you may want to invest in equipment that is suitable for these classes, such as exercise balls, resistance bands, and step platforms.
