FITNESS INDUSTRY TERMS
*PRE-OWNED EQUIPMENT: This is the term used for equipment that is sold in AS IS condition. There are minimal parts replaced if any at all. A warranty may not be available on these units. Pre- Owned equipment can range from older undesirable equipment to recent models in such good condition that there is not an immediate need for parts replacement.
**REFURBISHED EQUIPMENT: This is the term used for equipment that is improved by replacing worn or broken parts along with minor repairs to the frame and painted areas. Once refurbishment is done the equipment should be in very good working and cosmetic condition. These units are most likely given a good warranty to protect your investment.
***RE-MANUFACTURED EQUIPMENT: This term is given to equipment that has undergone a complete restoration, including new paint and decals. In many cases this is the most desirable purchase, however in some cases this could be the worst of all. Like any complete restoration, the end result is only as good as the quality of workmanship. In many cases the original coating is going to last the longest and once it is removed the new coating may not compare.
