The pandemic changed the way people exercise. Individuals who used to head to the gym for a workout discovered they must find other ways to get into shape and stay that way. For this reason, many people chose to invest in exercise equipment for the home. They diligently used this equipment every day only to have a part break. Commercial equipment differs greatly from home equipment, so they may have been caught off guard. They figured they could use the equipment as they did the equipment found at the gym with no problems. That isn’t always the case. When do you go when you need replacement parts for your equipment?
The Equipment Manufacturer
Men and women often head to the equipment manufacturer when they need a part for their home gym equipment. This remains a viable option, and the person knows they should get the right part the first time. The manufacturer knows the equipment better than anyone else, so this reduces the risk of any confusion regarding which item is needed for a particular model.
However, purchasing directly from the equipment manufacturer can be expensive. For this reason, a person should always investigate all options before buying a part. For example, many people find they can buy parts for gym equipment from a third-party provider, get the right part, and save money in the process.
Third-Party Sites
Once a person enters a query in a search engine, they begin getting ads for similar items. For instance, if a person searches for a belt for their treadmill to visit the manufacturer’s site, they see ads from different providers of this part. This may include the equipment manufacturer, third-party retailers, or a repair company. Before clicking on one of these ads and making a purchase, the individual must know they are working with a reputable company.
The buyer needs to research the company to learn how long it has been in business and what it provides. In addition, they should read reviews and check with the Better Business Bureau to learn the company’s rating. Use all available resources when researching a provider to ensure you know who you are giving your money to.
Social Media
Today, many people choose to sell items on social media sites, including some retailers. Click on an ad on social media or visit a company’s site and they will show the part you may need. Before clicking on one of these links, do research. Unlike third-party sites, many companies selling on social media are actually individuals. A person might find they don’t receive the part, they receive the wrong part, or the part is defective. When they contact the seller, they have no luck resolving the matter.
If the person sends the money to a person rather than a business, their financial institution may not be able to help resolve the matter. For example, PayPal offers the option of buying goods and services or sending money to family and friends. The seller may suggest the second option be used because the site doesn’t charge any fees when sending to family and friends. However, PayPal doesn’t guarantee the purchase. It falls on the buyer to know when and how to send their money.
Make the most of your home gym equipment. If one or more parts fail, purchase replacement items right away. This ensures your routine can resume quickly and you get the benefits of regular exercise, as they positively impact every area of your life.
