Outfitting a gym—whether it’s your garage or a full training facility—is a real investment. Along the way, you’ll hit a common fork in the road: remanufactured vs refurbished gym equipment. The terms sound similar, but what you get is very different. One is a quick cleanup. The other is a full rebuild that restores factory-level performance. Choosing wisely can save you thousands and spare you a lot of downtime. Shop Remanufactured Equipment What “Refurbished” Really Means Refurbished equipment is typically a used machine that’s been spruced up so it can be resold. Think: wipe-downs, new grips or pedals, a little touch-up paint, maybe fresh decals, and a quick power-on test. It looks better—but the internals often stay the same. The risk? Motors, electronics, belts, bearings, and decks can still carry years of wear. For light home use, you might be fine. For daily training or a commercial environment, it’s a gamble. What “Remanufactured” Delivers Remanufactured is a different league. At Fitness Superstore, it means a complete teardown and rebuild to restore performance to a like-new standard. Full disassembly down to the frame Replacement of all wear parts (motors, decks, belts, bearings, cables, electronics) Durable powder-coated finish instead of spot paint OEM-spec reassembly and calibration Stress testing under load for reliability You get the feel of new equipment at 40–70% less than new retail. A one-year parts & labor warranty is standard, with extended coverage available up to five years. See Remanufactured Process & Inventory Refurbished vs Remanufactured: Quick Comparison Factor Refurbished Remanufactured Price Lowest upfront 40–70% less than new Warranty Limited or none 1–5 years available Process Cosmetic cleanup, minor swaps Full teardown & rebuild Reliability Unpredictable Like-new, consistent Best Fit Budget, very light home use Heavy-use home & commercial Why Remanufactured Wins Long-Term Refurbished can look attractive on price, but the hidden costs add up: more breakdowns, more service calls, more complaints, and usually no meaningful warranty. Remanufactured flips that script—predictable uptime, warranty protection, and a longer usable life. If you manage a gym, hotel, school, or corporate facility, that dependability shows up directly in your bottom line and member experience.

When upgrading or launching a fitness space, the big question is: buy brand-new machines, or choose refurbished (remanufactured) gym equipment? At Fitness Superstore, we use the term remanufactured to describe our deeper process (full teardown, rebuild, refinish, and testing), while we also use the word refurbished throughout this guide to match how customers search online. The goal: help you find the best value and performance for your budget. Warranty Advantage: Every remanufactured unit includes a 1-year parts & labor warranty standard, with options up to 5 years parts & labor—often longer than warranties on new machines. Want to see real equipment? Browse our Remanufactured Equipment page for videos and photos from our warehouse showroom. What “Remanufactured” Means (and Why It Beats Basic Refurbishing) Full teardown & inspection of frames, drive systems, electronics, and consoles. New or reconditioned parts installed where needed; belts and bearings checked or replaced. Refinish & calibration to deliver like-new appearance and performance. Final testing for safety, durability, and smooth biomechanics.

Refurbished vs. Used: Not the Same Used gym equipment is typically sold as-is (no rebuild, limited testing, limited or no warranty). Our remanufactured process results in refurbished equipment that’s fully rebuilt, tested, refinished, and backed by a strong warranty—so you get commercial-grade reliability at a fraction of the cost. Who Benefits Most? Commercial gyms & studios: Outfit an entire floor for the cost of a few new units. Hotels & multi-housing: Premium amenities, controlled budgets.

At Fitness Superstore, remanufactured means a deeper process: full teardown, rebuild with new or reconditioned parts, refinish, and comprehensive testing to perform like new. What warranty is included? We include a 1-year parts & labor warranty standard on remanufactured equipment, with extended options up to 5 years parts & labor. That often exceeds coverage on new units. Can I see the equipment before I buy? Yes—visit our Remanufactured Equipment page for videos and photos from our warehouse showroom.

When shopping for gym equipment, customers often face a key decision: investing in remanufactured commercial-grade machines from top brands or purchasing brand-new equipment like French Fitness.  Both choices bring unique benefits, and both can be the “right” option depending on your budget, goals, and preferences. To help you make the best decision for your home or commercial gym, let’s take an honest, balanced look at the pros of each. The Case for Remanufactured Equipment by Fitness Superstore Remanufactured equipment gives you access to commercial-grade machines from well-known brands restored to a like-new condition. It’s a smart choice for buyers who want maximum value, sustainability, and premium quality at a lower price point. Fitness Superstore has been remanufacturing equipment from top brands since 2010. Pros of Remanufactured Equipment Looks and Feels Brand NewRemanufactured equipment is not simply cleaned up and resold. It goes through a detailed 7-step restoration process to make it both cosmetically and mechanically like new. Every part, from the upholstery and paint to the electronics and moving components, is carefully inspected and replaced or rebuilt as needed. The result is equipment that looks, feels, and performs as if it just came from the factory. Many customers are surprised by how indistinguishable remanufactured machines are from brand-new ones. Amazing SavingsOne of the biggest advantages of going remanufactured is the cost savings. You can save up to 70% compared to buying the same equipment brand new, which makes it possible to own premium, commercial-grade machines that might otherwise be out of reach. Whether you’re building a home gym on a budget or outfitting a large facility, remanufactured equipment stretches your dollar without sacrificing quality. Best Warranty in the IndustryWe back our remanufactured machines with an industry-leading warranty: 1 year parts and labor included, with an optional 5-year extended coverage. This gives you confidence that your purchase is protected. And since our technicians completely restore each machine before it leaves our warehouse, breakdowns are rare but if they happen, you’re covered. Great FeedbackThe quality of our remanufactured products is reflected in the reviews. We have hundreds of 5-star ratings across eBay, Trustpilot, Google, and Yelp, with customers praising both the durability of the equipment and the professionalism of our team. These testimonials speak to the consistency and reliability of our process. Eco-FriendlyBuying remanufactured equipment is also a sustainable choice. Instead of ending up in landfills, high-quality machines are restored to a like-new condition, significantly reducing waste and conserving resources. This makes it a smart option for environmentally conscious buyers who want premium fitness equipment with a smaller carbon footprint. Full Service Delivery & Assembly OptionsOur delivery process is designed with convenience in mind. With our own fleet of vehicles, 50+ warehouse staff, and courier partnerships, we can offer multiple delivery methods: curbside drop-off, in-room delivery, or full professional assembly. For customers outside the US and Canada, we also provide a range of international shipping options to help you get set up seamlessly. 5-Star Customer ServiceWe don’t just sell equipment, we support you long after your purchase. Our customer service is available 7 days a week, with extended weekday hours to ensure quick responses. We aim to reply within 24 hours, and our sales team can even hop on a video call to give you a virtual walk-through of the equipment before you buy. This hands-on approach makes sure you’re fully confident in your decision. Accessible WarehouseCustomers are welcome to visit our remanufacturing facility in Northern California, where you can see firsthand how equipment goes through our detailed 7-step restoration process.

For those who can’t visit in person, we also offer virtual tours via video call, where our staff can walk you through the process, demonstrate equipment that’s available, and answer your questions in real time. Considerations for Remanufactured Equipment Not Technically “New” – Even though fully restored, these machines were once used in commercial or home gyms. Warranty is Shorter Than French Fitness – Still excellent, but generally shorter than the 10-year coverage French Fitness offers. Limited Customization – Remanufactured machines come in their original designs, without paint or logo personalization. The Case for French Fitness Equipment French Fitness is our own brand of brand-new, USA-assembled equipment, built with years of hands-on experience remanufacturing and comparing top commercial machines. Since 2019, it’s been a great choice for those who value long warranties, customization options, and the peace of mind of owning something brand new. Pros of French Fitness Equipment Brand New, Never UsedEvery French Fitness machine is sold brand new, never pre-owned or remanufactured. Each unit is built and assembled in our Northern California factory, where it goes through a thorough 2-hour quality control process. Our skilled technicians who bring years of experience repairing and comparing top commercial brands, inspect every part to ensure it meets French Fitness’ strict standards before reaching your home or facility. Outstanding WarrantyFrench Fitness offers one of the most extensive warranty packages in the industry: 10 years on parts and 1 year on labor for cardio machines, gym systems, racks, cages, selectorized equipment, plate-loaded machines, benches, and storage racks. Accessories, flooring, and free weights are covered under a 1-year limited warranty. If a covered item becomes non-functional due to breakage, we replace it free of charge, giving you peace of mind with every purchase. Exceptional Value for MoneyFrench Fitness provides a unique balance of quality and affordability. By designing and assembling equipment in-house, we eliminate middlemen and brand markups, allowing us to deliver premium features at a fraction of the cost of big-name commercial brands. Customers often find French Fitness machines comparable in feel and performance to legacy manufacturers, but at a significantly better price point. Customization OptionsUnlike most major brands, French Fitness gives you the freedom to personalize your equipment. Choose from a range of paint colors, vinyl finishes, and even add your own logos to create a gym that reflects your brand identity or personal style. This is especially valuable for fitness studios, schools, and commercial gyms looking to stand out with a cohesive, professional look. Assembled in the USAAll French Fitness products are assembled and quality-checked in our San Francisco Bay Area facility. Because Fitness Superstore has spent years remanufacturing and studying top commercial machines, our technicians know exactly what to look for, whether it’s the thickness of the steel, the precision of the bearings, or the smoothness of the motion. That knowledge directly informs the build of French Fitness, ensuring every piece meets high commercial standards. Customer Service You Can Count OnWe don’t just sell equipment. We support you before, during, and after the purchase. Our customer service lines are open seven days a week, with extended hours on weekdays. We aim to respond to inquiries within 24 hours and can even schedule video calls to walk you through product features or answer technical questions. Whether you’re setting up a home gym or outfitting a commercial space, our support team is ready to help. Delivery & Assembly OptionsFrench Fitness offers the same flexible delivery services as our remanufactured line. Choose from curbside drop-off, room-of-choice delivery, or professional installation and assembly. With our own fleet of vehicles, 50+ warehouse staff, and courier partnerships, we can accommodate customers across the US, Canada, and internationally, helping you find the most convenient setup for your space. Showroom Access We believe in transparency. That’s why you can visit our Benicia, CA showroom to test and experience French Fitness products firsthand before making a decision. For customers who can’t visit in person, our team offers live video walk-throughs where we demonstrate the equipment, provide exact measurements, and answer your questions in real time. This ensures you feel confident in your choice, wherever you’re located. Considerations for French Fitness Equipment Depreciation – Like any new item, equipment begins to depreciate the moment it leaves the showroom. No “Big Brand” Logo – Some customers prefer legacy brands like Life Fitness or Precor; French Fitness is newer to the market. FAQ: Choosing Between the Two Q: Which lasts longer: remanufactured or French Fitness equipment?Both are built to last. Remanufactured machines have already proven durability in commercial settings, while French Fitness comes brand new with a long warranty. Q: Is remanufactured equipment reliable?Yes. With our 7-step process, remanufactured units are restored to “like new” condition and tested extensively. Q: Can I customize my remanufactured equipment?Not typically. Remanufactured equipment keeps its original design. French Fitness, however, offers customization options. Q: Which is better for a commercial gym?A combination of remanufactured cardio equipment and brand-new French Fitness strength equipment is the best fit. This way, you get the savings and proven durability of remanufactured cardio machines, paired with the customization, warranty, and brand-new reliability of French Fitness for strength training. Final Thoughts Whether you choose remanufactured commercial-grade equipment or brand-new French Fitness machines, you’re making a smart investment.  One offers incredible savings and sustainability, while the other provides quality, value for money, and long-term warranty protection. At Fitness Superstore, we’re proud to offer both so you can find the perfect solution for your gym, budget, and goals.

You might think that free weights are all pretty much the same. After all, their basic function involves being a certain poundage to provide resistance when exercising. That’s hardly rocket science, right? When it comes to free weights, however, the details can make a big difference. In this article, we compare and contrast the various types of weight covering materials to help you make the smartest purchasing decisions when it comes to bumper plates, olympic plates, barbells, kettlebells and dumbbells. The 4 Main Weight Coverings There are four basic types of workout weight, with each having a distinct covering. The free weight options discussed here have a cast iron core, so the actual weight you’re lifting is pretty much the same. It’s the different types of covering that make each one unique. Painted Weights Painted dumbbells, barbells or weight plates simply coat the cast iron weight with an anti rust covering. These are the least expensive types of fixed dumbbells and barbells that you can buy. The main problem with painted weights is that the paint can easily chip off. Dumbbells are subject to some pretty harsh treatment so most painted dumbbells will get banged up pretty quickly. Painted weights are also more noisy than coated ones as there is no padding to absorb the noise of the impact when you drop them. They are also more prone to have sharp edges, not to mention the fact that paint flecks are liable to fall into your eyes when you’re doing the dumbbell bench press (trust me, I know from experience!). You are likely to find painted dumbbells, barbells and plates in dungeon style industrial gyms. Chrome Plated Chrome dumbbells and barbells usually have a shiny silver, gleaming boutique appearance. They usually top out at around 20 pounds, being mainly for light gym use. These weights are electroplated with a light covering of chrome. The handles typically attach to the head with a screw in the handle. Rubber Rubber covered dumbbells, barbells and plates are quite popular due to their protective covering to prevent damage to floors and racks. Rubber is a relatively durable cast iron covering. However, you will see wear and tear over time. Rubber does not do well when exposed to sunlight so you will want to keep your rubber weights indoors. There are three qualities of rubber that may be used. These are: Recycled Rubber Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Natural Rubber The end quality of the rubber in terms of elasticity, fluidity, strength and durability will depend on the mixing ratio. Each manufacturer guards his mixing ratio closely. However, none of them use 100 percent original rubber. All rubber emits an odor. Generally speaking, the stronger the odor, the lower the quality of the rubber that has been used. Most rubber dumbbells will have a cast iron head but a steel handle. Rubber dumbbell shapes include hexagonal, round and 12-sided. The hex shape provides the greatest stability as it will not roll around on the floor when you’re doing exercises like renegade rows. When it comes to that vital combination of premium quality and value for money in a rubber dumbbell set, you won’t get much better than French Fitness. They offer a wide rage of rubber dumbbell set configurations, including racks and benches, that will save you some serious dollars! Urethane Urethane is the cream of the crop when it comes to weight coverings. Not surprisingly, it is also the most expensive. Unlike rubber, there is no odor with urethane weights. However, urethane dumbbells, barbells and plates look very much like rubber. This material is also extremely hardy, meaning that it is easily the most durable dumbbell, barbell and weight plate covering material. That factor should be taken into account when looking at the cost comparison with rubber or other types of weight; they generally work out more cost effectively in the long run. Urethane dumbbells are available in a range of shapes, including the ever popular hexagonal design. Urethane weight coverings are technically called polyurethane or PU. There are two types: CPU TPU The main difference between the two is that TPU weights are injection molded under high temperatures while CPU gets melted in a mold. CPU weights will last about twice as long as TPU, with a lifespan of around 8 years. CPU is not as environmentally friendly as the material cannot be recycled. The head of a CPU dumbbell is constructed of steel whereas that of a TPU weight is made of cast iron. CPU weights will always be slightly more expensive than TPU. Types of Weight Plates Bumper Plates Bumper Plates are exclusively made from rubber or urethane apart from a small metal insert in the middle. This allows them to bounce when dropped. That means they will not damage your floor. They are popular for Crossift and Olympic lifting. The range of Bumper Plates available from French Fitness includes some packages offering spectacular bulk purchase savings. Rubber Rubber coated Olympic weight plates are the most popular option for both commercial and home use. French Fitness Rubber plates feature wide rims, along with three gripping spaces. They are also available in budget priced package deals. Cast Iron Solid cast iron plates are powder coated and feature a built in lip and flat surface to assist with loading and offloading. They are available in solid and easy grip designs. The Cast Iron finish is popular with kettlebells, providing the natural grip and feel that this unique training tool demands. If you’re on the hunt for premium level cast iron kettlebells at a great price, French Fitness offers them singly and in sets ranging from 5-70 lbs with hard-to-beat deals . Urethane Urethane plates may look similar to their rubber counterparts but there are some key differences. They will not produce an odor and are much stronger and more durable. You’ll also notice the difference in feel, with urethane having a more non tacky texture to them. Urethane Olympic plates can also be customized with logos and branding. Urethane dumbbells are odorless, more durable than rubber and have greater shock resistance for longer life. French Fitness Urethane 8-sided hexagonal dumbbells are available in the following sets: 5-50 lbs 5-60 lbs 5-100 lbs If your preference is for round pro style dumbbells, French Fitness also offer sets ranging from 5 to 100 lbs. In addition, they offer a premium urethane EZ-Curl barbell set (20-110 lbs) that features solid steel knurled handles and black urethane plating.

Why Is Infrared Heat Better Than Traditional Sauna? Dynamic Saunas produce the same type of heat as produced by the sun and our bodies. Infrared heat is very safe and not at all like the heat produced by microwaves. In an infrared sauna, only 20 percent of the energy is used to heat the air, leaving the rest of the energy to heat the body. The radiant heat can penetrate deep below the skin producing a gentle warming inside the body. The temperature inside an infrared sauna is adjustable and averages a comfortable 100 °F to the upper 140 °F range, depending on the sauna model. A typical session last 20 to 30 minutes and can be repeated once or twice during the day to maximize the benefits. Infrared saunas leave you feeling invigorated and rejuvenated, but not depleted like conventional saunas. Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. Far Infrared Heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally. Traditional saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. Far infrared saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, far infrared saunas heat the body directly. The result is deeper tissue penetration. In the far infrared sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits and avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. What Is A FAR Infrared Sauna and What Can A FAR Infrared Sauna Do For You? An infrared sauna makes the same rays that come from the sun and filters out the UV radiation. The high temperatures help to lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. Infrared saunas raise your metabolism and help you to burn calories as you sweat. You can burn up to 700 calories without lifting a finger! When you sweat, you’re sweating out toxins and heavy metals through the skin. FAR Infrared Saunas Help With: Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Detoxification, Hypertension, Insomnia, Weight Loss Depression, Lowers Cholesterol, Lowers Blood Pressure, Enhances Skin Tone, Removes Cellulite, Relaxes Muscles, Reduces Muscle Spasms, Increases Blood Circulation, Helps The Immune System, Promotes Healing, etc.

Carbon Ultra Low EMF Heat Emitter An Electromagnetic Field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It is one of the fundamental forces of nature. The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by stationary charges and the magnetic field by moving charges referred to as currents. Although all of our sauna products have been developed to have low EMF, several of our model saunas use our advance Carbon Ultra Low EMF technology (patent pending) which significantly reduces the amount of EMF exposure resulting in very low EMF or less than 3 milligauss (mG)(@2 inches)(test results average between 3mG-5mG including background EMF). GoldenDesigns Incorporated Near Zero EMF Heat Emitter The manufacturer of our model saunas is also the creator of the technology behind the Near Zero EMF Heat Emitter which eliminates electromagnetic waves. A typical carbon heating panel takes electric energy and transforms it into heat. In doing so, EMF is produced. The critical manufacturing process of our Near Zero EMF Heat Emitter incorporates a method that extensively reduces the amount of EMF given off. Simply put, as the magnetic field passes through the carbon heat emitter, it is greatly neutralized resulting in Near Zero EMF being generated. GoldenDesigns Incorporated EMF & RF Safety Levels - A Comparative Guide It can be very hard to say exactly what levels of EMF are safe, because safety in this arena is often a relative concept based on frequency, exposure time, and possible individual sensitivity. Even then, studies are often considered inconclusive plus there is the potential for political and financial agenda to steer perception one way or the other. ScanTech How do we characterize EMF exposure? No one knows which aspect of EMF exposure, if any, affects human health. Because of this uncertainty, in addition to the field strength, we must ask how long an exposure lasts, how it varies, and at what time of day or night it occurs. House wiring, for example, is often a significant source of EMF exposure for an individual, but the magnetic fields produced by the wiring depend on the amount of current flowing. As heating, lighting, and appliance use varies during the day, magnetic field exposure will also vary. Southern California EDISON

Treadmill vs. Rower: The Calorie Battle When it comes to cardio machines, two contenders stand out: the treadmill and the rowing machine. Both deliver serious calorie burn, but the best choice depends on your workout style and fitness goals. Light Workouts: Rower Takes the Lead At lower intensities, the rower burns more calories than the treadmill. That’s because rowing activates your legs, core, back, and arms all at once, making it an efficient full-body workout. Moderate Intensity: Neck and Neck When you increase the treadmill’s speed or incline, it matches the rower in calorie burn. The difference comes down to preference: Treadmill Great for walking, jogging, or running while boosting cardiovascular health. Rowing Machine Perfect for low-impact training that strengthens both upper and lower body. High-Intensity Training: Treadmill Wins If your goal is maximum calorie burn, the treadmill comes out on top. Running at higher speeds or steep inclines pushes calorie expenditure beyond what most people can sustain on a rowing machine. Which Machine Is Best for You? Choose a Treadmill If you love running and want the highest calorie burn potential. Choose a Rowing Machine If you want a joint-friendly, full-body workout that builds strength and endurance. The best option is the one you’ll stick with consistently. Both machines can help you torch calories and improve overall fitness. Pro Tip: Mix It Up Alternating between treadmill and rower sessions keeps your routine fresh, prevents overuse injuries, and balances muscle development. Calorie Burn Comparison Chart Here’s a quick look at approximate calories burned on a treadmill vs. a rower at different intensity levels (30 minutes). Intensity Treadmill (calories) Rower (calories) Light (30 min) Moderate (30 min) High (30 min) 200 350 500 250 350 450 Frequently Asked Questions Does rowing burn more calories than running? At moderate intensity, rowing can burn more calories because it engages the whole body. However, running at higher speeds or inclines on a treadmill usually burns more overall. Is a rowing machine better for weight loss than a treadmill? Both are effective for weight loss. A treadmill may burn more calories in less time, but a rower provides a low-impact, full-body workout that can be easier to sustain consistently. Which is easier on the joints: treadmill or rower? Rowing is low-impact, making it gentler on knees, hips, and ankles. Treadmill running puts more stress on joints but can be adjusted with incline walking or slower speeds. Can I use both treadmill and rower in one workout? Yes! Combining both machines creates a balanced routine: treadmill for cardiovascular endurance and calorie burn, and rower for strength and full-body conditioning.
