Before

Precor Treadmill Before Refurbishment

Commercial treadmills naturally experience wear over time, especially on high-use components like belts and decks.

While this is standard in the used market, we view it as the starting point.

Before

Life Fitness Treadmill Before Refurbishment

Most used treadmills are sold in this condition, without long-term reliability in mind.

This often leads to complaints for members, higher maintenance costs and unexpected downtime.

Our refurbishment goes beyond surface-level repairs. We address mechanical, electrical, and structural components.

After

You receive equipment that delivers dependable performance at a fraction of the cost of buying new, backed by a comprehensive warranty.

Yes! This is an important question, especially for experienced gym owners who know the importance of long-term serviceability.

At Keystone Fitness, we only refurbish top-tier commercial brands such as: Life Fitness, Precor, StairMaster, Cybex, Octane Fitness etc.

These brands have a strong presence across North America as they are in fitness clubs and chains across the globe, meaning there’s a robust parts industry for them. Whether through OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or aftermarket suppliers, both parts and skilled labour are readily available—making maintenance and repairs much easier than with lower-quality or proprietary equipment.

We also carry our own stock of parts in our warehouse. 

Not necessarily! While new equipment may have the latest technology, that doesn’t always mean better quality or lower long-term costs. Many machines have been built to the exact same technical specifications for decades, the only change in newer models is more technology. In fact, newer models often come with proprietary software and touchscreen consoles that can add thousands of dollars in future repairs and maintenance. 

Our refurbished commercial machines are built for with durability servicabilty in mind! This means you can confidently rely on refurbished machines to stand the test of time at your facility. For many gym owners, simplicity and reliability of slightly older models often outweigh the appeal of the latest technology.

Yes – you can finance refurbished commercial equipment! It’s similar to financing a used car—lenders recognize the value of commercial-grade fitness machines, even when refurbished. You can apply for financing online.
