TIP 1: Rearrange your equipment
TIPS & TRICKS TUESDAY
We want you to get the most out of your investment. So for this tip, let’s talk about how rearranging your equipment can extend equipment life!
What is equipment life?
Equipment life is how long a piece of equipment (like a treadmill, elliptical, upright bike, etc.) will stay usable and in good condition.
Since you’ve invested time and money to make your fitness space great with quality equipment, it’s important and wise to take steps to ensure that your equipment is around for as long as possible. Staying on top of your equipment usage and management will negate the need to replace your equipment too soon after purchasing.
How to Do It
For some funny reason, people tend to frequent certain pieces because of their arrangement and positioning in the room. Because those units get used a lot they become more worn than the other units.
Here’s a quick fix: take time to move your equipment around every couple months! Change the arrangement and order of your equipment, that way you are getting an even use across all units, and not just one treadmill or one elliptical is taking all the heat. With this trick, you can maximize the life of all your units and optimize your investment.
