The Best Commercial Fitness Equipment to Upgrade Your Gym in 2023
The new year is a time for changes, updates, and upgrades! If you’ve been planning on refreshing your gym, we highly recommend using any of these high-quality fitness machines, equipment, and tools.
Want to upgrade your gym but not sure how to start or how to plan for it? We’re here for you. At ASF, we provide gyms and fitness centers of all sizes and backgrounds with in-depth design, planning, and installation services. Allow our team of experts to help you equip your gym with 5-star equipment and design it to perfectly accommodate your clientele.
How the ASF Team Handles a Facility Refresh
For our team, no two projects are exactly the same. Every facility refresh is a little different, so we work directly with the client to understand their goals and what they’re trying to accomplish with the refresh. To begin, we set up an in-person meeting to evaluate equipment, flooring, design, and budgetary requirements.
In addition to upgrading the machinery and equipment, we look to see if the overall room design can be refreshed. We advocate for making bolder changes to a room to transform it into a completely new space — one that is aesthetically pleasing, expertly designed, and in tandem with the client’s goals and needs. This includes discussions about flooring, wall graphics, paint colors, light fixtures, and other design choices.
Once we take care of design planning, we move on to equipping the space with premier equipment. Sometimes that involves trading in old equipment for new equipment, or scrapping a section entirely. We always walk through the best steps with our clients to ensure there’s a plan in place.
If you’re looking for ideas, or just want to know what the best new machines are, look no further. Here is the must-have commercial fitness equipment your gym needs in 2023.
Precor Cardio & Strength
It’s important to have a blend of different equipment types in any gym. After all, some people prefer cardio while others favor free weight training. And, most importantly, the majority of exercisers want variety in their workouts.
That’s why we recommend using a mix of everything — especially strength and cardio equipment. We supply our gyms with high-quality products from Precor. They design a wide range of fitness tools, from treadmills to strength circuits and power racks.
Their products are made with high-quality materials and engineering, providing people of all ages and fitness levels with the equipment needed for comfortable, engaging, and invigorating workouts. Precor’s Experience Series is a suite of premium cardio machines, including treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers, stationary bikes, and more. With this series, they offer three suites of equipment with a price point for budgets of all sizes.
When it comes to their strength training equipment, they offer three lines of equipment: the Resolute, Discovery, and Vitality series. Outfit your gym with selectorized and plate-loaded equipment, as well as expertly designed benches and racks.
Escape Functional Fitness Equipment
Functional fitness is one exercise trend that’s here to stay. Our partners at Escape Fitness make highly versatile, high-quality equipment that can fit into any space and offers an incredible workout.
Their Functional Frames are customizable platforms that are designed for functional, weighted, and suspension fitness training. Equip them with training accessories like barbells, kettlebells, rings, and punching bags to keep users engaged and challenged throughout their workout. With small, medium, and large frames to choose from, you can easily find one to accommodate and enhance your fitness space.
In addition, we highly recommend outfitting your gym with a variety of functional fitness tools and strength accessories. From rubber kettlebells and SBX dumbbells to corebags, TIYRs, and probounders, Escape’s wide range of equipment means you’ll find plenty of ways to keep users engaged.
Looking for something more high-tech? The Escape Mars Screen is a compact touch screen that offers self-guided training options in a sleek, easy-to-use format. It can be mounted on a functional frame, between storage units, or to a wall. Its interface includes video and text instructions that guide exercisers on how to use different Escape products.
Interactive Fitness
Take your gym or fitness center to the next level by installing it with some interactive fitness equipment. This is a great way to easily upgrade your fitness space if you don’t have the time or budget for a complete refresh. By adding one or two of these machines, you’re providing your gym goers with fresh workouts and exciting new content.
These products allow users to take on-demand and online classes in order to get a dynamic and intense workout. Plus, not only are these machines effective, they’re fun!
The Peloton Bike
The Peloton Bike for Commercial Spaces offers an immersive cardio experience that will hook users and keep them coming back again and again. With its 21.5” HD touchscreen, precision laser-cut carbon steel frame, dual-sided pedals, and motivational on-demand content, the Peloton Bike is the perfect addition for any fitness space.
If you’re looking to attract a younger demographic and update your technology, the Peloton meets both needs.
We also offer some key features to make it even more beneficial for commercial gyms, including a three-year commercial warranty, multi-user software that provides unlimited accounts per commercial subscription, and equal access to content for both Peloton Members and non-members.
The Aviron Rower
Another great interactive fitness option is the Aviron Rower. With this immersive tool, you can choose from virtual destinations, fun games, competitive leaderboards, and more as you craft your ideal rowing experience.
It also comes with a digital catalog that’s regularly updated with new activities. For users that don’t want to compete, the Aviron Rower comes with streaming services included, allowing your exercisers to binge watch their favorite shows while they get a workout in.
The Echelon Reflect Mirror
Wouldn’t it be great to have your own personal trainer available with just the touch of a screen? The Echelon Reflect Mirror provides exactly that — a 50” touch screen HD display with thousands of classes available instantly. Choose from a wide range of different activities, including HIIT, core, yoga, kickboxing, and more, available both on-demand and live.
The Echelon Reflect boasts a sleek design that looks perfect in any space, making it the ideal addition to your gym.
