Our health and wellness are some of the most prized possessions we have. The ability to go for a walk, or try out a new gym class should never be taken for granted. Our fitness equipment is an important part of that, providing the opportunity to do anything our bodies and minds can dream of. However, when we get going and the workouts get intense, accidents happen, and your fitness equipment might be in need of repair.

What to do if your fitness equipment needs to be repaired?

Let's take a look at some of the steps you can take to repair your fitness equipment so you never have to go without it (and aren't left on the hook for expensive repair and replacement costs).

Check your warranty coverage

Most fitness equipment, whether it be a treadmill, rowing machine, or exercise bike, often comes with a manufacturer's warranty. This means your equipment is covered in case of things like manufacturer's defects, issues with production, and mechanical problems, generally for the first year of purchase.

If you have an extended warranty, you're entitled to a much wider range of coverage for your fitness equipment. You're protected in case of rips, cracks, spills, breaks, and more, so you're able to use your fitness equipment more freely. Extended warranties will also often cover fitness equipment repair or replacement costs for you, or at least give you a discounted price.

Check out fitness equipment repair stores

If your fitness equipment is covered under an extended warranty, the provider you have the warranty through will likely have a fitness equipment repair store they like to use. If so, you can send your broken fitness equipment to them, and they'll take care of the repairs, or they might even make house calls and come to you.

If your fitness equipment isn't covered under an extended warranty and you need repairs done, there's likely at least one fitness equipment repair store in your area. Simply search "fitness equipment repair near me" to find the closest available option.

Replace your fitness equipment

Ultimately, fitness equipment can be expensive to repair, and if you don't have extended warranty coverage, it might be easier to just replace it. Although that means purchasing the same equipment you already have, there are options that can help take the sting out of the price tag.

For example, you can buy used fitness equipment from a number of different retailers, for a significantly reduced price. There's also the potential for purchasing from a fitness equipment wholesaler or a fitness equipment outlet, which can give you access to a number of different fitness equipment brands, although you might have to buy in bulk to get a discount. You can even wait for sales events like Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day and get brand new fitness equipment for much cheaper than full price. It might require some patience on your part, but there are always to save.

Get no sweat product protection with Mulberry Unlimited

When you subscribe to Mulberry Unlimited, you'll get coverage for your fitness equipment and more under the same product protection plan. That means you'll have access to free or cheap repairs or replacements, and can file unlimited claims whenever you have an issue. It's the ultimate peace of mind to ensure your fitness equipment is there whenever you need it.
