The trade-in process was incredibly simple. We had 8 treadmills that needed upgrading, and PreOwnedGym gave us a great valuation that significantly offset the cost of our new equipment. The removal team was professional and efficient, and the whole process was completely hassle-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our trade-in program.
What types of equipment do you accept for trade-in?
We accept most commercial-grade fitness equipment in working condition, including cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, rowers), strength equipment (selectorized machines, plate-loaded equipment), free weights, racks, and benches. We generally don't accept residential-grade equipment, accessories, or heavily damaged items. If you're unsure if your equipment qualifies, submit your information and our specialists will evaluate it.
How is the trade-in value determined?
Trade-in values are based on several factors, including the equipment's brand, model, age, condition, market demand, and our current inventory needs. Commercial-grade equipment from premium brands like Life Fitness, Precor, and Hammer Strength typically command higher values. We strive to offer fair market rates based on what similar used equipment is selling for in the current market.
How long does the trade-in process take?
The typical timeline is as follows:
- Initial valuation: 1-2 business days after submission
- Scheduling pickup: 3-7 business days after accepting the offer
- Credit issuance: Within 5 business days after equipment pickup and verification
The entire process usually takes 2-3 weeks from submission to credit issuance, though this can vary based on your location and equipment volume.
Is there a fee for equipment removal or pickup?
No, there is no fee for standard equipment removal and pickup when you trade in with us. We cover the logistics costs as part of our service. However, for extremely remote locations or special circumstances (such as equipment requiring extensive disassembly or crane removal), additional fees may apply. These would be discussed and agreed upon before finalizing the trade-in arrangement.
How long is my trade-in credit valid?
Your trade-in credit is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance. The credit can be applied to any purchase on PreOwnedGym.com during that period. If you're planning a larger renovation or equipment upgrade in phases, please let us know, and we may be able to extend this timeframe for your specific situation.
Can I trade in multiple pieces of equipment?
Yes, we welcome trade-ins of multiple equipment pieces or entire gym facilities. For large-volume trade-ins (more than 5 pieces), please contact us directly at tradein@preownedgym.com or call 1-800-555-1234 to speak with our specialized fleet services team. We can arrange an on-site evaluation for larger projects and provide a comprehensive trade-in package.
What if my equipment is not in working condition?
We may still accept non-working equipment depending on the brand, model, and specific issues. Some high-value commercial equipment can be worth refurbishing or using for parts. The trade-in value will be adjusted based on the repair or refurbishment costs, but we're often able to offer some value even for non-working premium equipment. Submit your information, and we'll evaluate each case individually.
What Our Customers Say
Learn about real experiences from facility owners who have used our trade-in program.
As a small gym owner, I was concerned about the cost of updating our strength equipment. The trade-in program allowed us to upgrade to better quality machines while staying within budget. The valuation was fair, and their team handled everything from removal to delivery of the new equipment.
We were facing the logistical challenge of removing 15 pieces of old strength equipment from our facility. The trade-in program solved this problem completely - they handled the removal, gave us credit toward new purchases, and made the transition seamless for our members.
The environmental aspect of the trade-in program was important to us. Knowing our old equipment would be refurbished or responsibly recycled aligned with our sustainability goals. Plus, the trade-in value we received helped us upgrade to more energy-efficient machines.
