Home Fitness Equipment

Home exercise gear is popular, especially in the US. Common types include:

  • Cardio training equipment includes treadmills, elliptical machines, exercise bikes, spinning bikes, rowing machines, etc.
  • Various tools and accessories: barbells, vibration massagers, dumbbells, yoga mats, kettlebells, wall balls, fitness water bags, desk bikes, etc.

Home fitness equipment generally isn’t used as frequently as commercial equipment, so the material strength requirements are lower, making the prices more affordable.

Commercial Gym Equipment

Commercial fitness equipment shares similar functions with that for home use, but it is distinguished by its higher quality and greater durability.

  • Materials like plastic parts are sturdier and steel pipes are thicker to withstand frequent use.
  • More tests are conducted to ensure quality.

Therefore, commercial fitness equipment is priced higher.

Regardless of whether the equipment is for homes or gyms, the types of suppliers are generally the same.

Outdoor Fitness Equipment

Suppliers for outdoor fitness equipment differ from those for home/commercial use. For example, park fitness equipment is produced by playground equipment factories, mainly hardware processing and painting.

For outdoor fitness equipment projects, clients often provide a plot of land, like a 10×20 meter area. Based on the area size and surroundings, suppliers offer a comprehensive solution with 2D/3D renderings:

  • fitness equipment configuration planning
  • infrastructure construction (e.g. laying foundations, roads, and lawns).

This is akin to undertaking construction projects.

Zhejiang & Guangdong: 2 fitness equipment manufacturing clusters.

As China’s most important 2 industrial clusters, Zhejiang and Guangdong are also home to fitness and sports products manufacturers. Guangdong manufacturers are known for high-quality fitness supplies, while Zhejiang manufacturers offer lower prices with acceptable quality.

Being based in the Zhejiang industrial cluster, we’re familiar with the local fitness equipment factories and their strength products.

How to import gym equipment from China? (5 points)

Suppliers sourcing

Alibaba and Made-in-China are the mainstream options to find Chinese fitness equipment suppliers. If satisfied with the supplier’s samples and quotations, I strongly recommend that you place a small order first to assess their reliability during actual cooperation. Because fitness equipment is typically high-value and often heavy, resulting in high shipping costs. For any issues found after receiving goods, it’s too late to address them.

Certifications

Generally, ISO9001 is widely applicable, and large factories have ISO certificates. In the EU, CE certification covers most fitness equipment products, while in the UK, it’s the UKCA certificate. 

If electronic components are included, RoHS certification is required in the EU, and FCC certification in the US. If selling on Amazon US, requirements are stricter, but the platform will offer options like ASTM and UL certificates.

MOQ and customization

Usually, MOQ is not high due to the high value of fitness equipment. 

Custom logos and colors are common and easy. You just provide the Pantone color code. Then, the factory can do it. Typically, larger fitness equipment is spray-painted, while smaller items like dumbbells with metal cores are treated with electrostatic powder spraying. Both techniques involve applying a paint layer on the surface. Once the paint is OK, it’s ready to be applied.

Quality inspections

Regarding fitness equipment, quality control typically focuses on checking for paint peeling and deformation, inspecting the thickness of steel pipes, and ensuring the materials of accessories meet standards.

Shipping

Normally, fitness equipment is delivered by sea, around 30-45 days from China to US ports. Due to the large size, it’s a common practice to partially disassemble for international transport to reduce shipping costs. About assembly, it is easy with installation manuals.

Arriving at the destination port, it’s cost-effective to use trucks for local delivery. Some may use Express, but it is expensive.

FAQs

How much can fitness equipment cost?

It depends on whether it’s for commercial, home, or outdoor use. Generally, home fitness equipment is the cheapest unless you have high-quality requirements.

What about the fitness equipment warranty?

Higher-quality products typically have longer warranty periods. Within the warranty period, if there are issues with parts, the supplier will either repair or send new parts to the customer.
