Step 1 : Cleaning and Inspection

Equipment is first inspected to ensure no damage or safety concerns. It is disassembled and cleaned thoroughly.

Step 2 : Sanding and Painting

To give the equipment a brand new look, it is fully sanded to metal and professionally painted.

Step 3 : Component Replacement

Any mechanical parts worn more than 20% or non functioning electronics are replaced. Consumables such as batteries, cables, decks and belts are always replaced.

Step 4 : Assembly and Final Inspection

The machine is reassembled to factory settings. It is fully tested for functionality and noise before leaving the store to ensure you get a reliable product.

Frequent Asked Questions

Absolutely! At Keystone Fitness, we offer the best warranty in Canada for refurbished equipment. We stand behind the quality of our refurbished machines.

Our process includes:
✔ Replacing all wear-and-tear components (walking belts, drive belts, batteries, decks, etc.)
✔ Rebuilding or replacing mechanical components (treadmill motors, rollers; connection bearings etc.)
✔ Cosmetic restoration and repainting to make the equipment look like new

We don’t cut corners, which is why we confidently back our equipment with an industry-leading warranty. Unlike buying from auctions or private sellers, purchasing from a trusted refurbishing company ensures you’re getting a machine that you can trust. 

Refurbished equipment can save you 30% to 60% compared to buying new. Here’s what that looks like in real terms:

A new commercial treadmill: $8,000+
A refurbished commercial treadmill: $3,500 – $4,500

A new commercial elliptical: $6,000+
A refurbished commercial elliptical: $2,500 – $3,500

Not only do you save thousands of dollars, but you also get a machine that performs like new and is backed by a warranty. Now if you are opening a gym with 10 – 50 pieces of equipment, you can see how the savings really start to grow!

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 designs is more technology. In fact, newer models often come with proprietary software and touchscreen consoles that can cost gym owners thousands in future repairs. 

Older commercial machines were built for durability and often incorporate better repairability considerations. For example; repairing or replacing an LED console is a fraction of the cost of replacing a touchscreen one.

For gym owners with large facilities, simplicity and reliability often outweigh the appeal of the latest tech.

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 stock our own stock of parts in our warehouse, should you ever need something. 

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.
