Home Gym Moving Guide- 6 Expert Tips
The task of moving a home gym can be daunting, but also an opportunity to revamp your workout space. In this moving guide, we’ll navigate the complexities of moving fitness equipment. From protecting your equipment to optimizing your space, let’s dive into our home gym moving guide.
Organize and Declutter
Decide what works in your new space and donate anything that doesn’t fit, or you don’t use. This is a great opportunity to let go of old equipment such as that dumbbell you’re not using or the squeaky elliptical from your parent’s basement. We can help you donate or recycle anything you are ready to part with.
Protect Your Floors and Walls
Before moving equipment make sure to protect your floors and walls. Use sliders or mats to protect your floors. Moving blankets can be used to cover banisters, doors/doorways, and walls to avoid scratches or dents.
Disassemble
For larger items like a treadmill disassembly might be necessary. Make sure to keep all parts labeled and organized for reassembly. Use moving blankets to keep all parts safe during the move. Click here to learn how to move a Peloton and here to learn how to move a treadmill.
Secure Loose Items
Remove all weights from the peloton, water bottles from the treadmill, etc. These items need to be secured before moving equipment. This prevents damage during transit.
Lifting Technique is Key
Safety is important when moving heavy equipment. Lift with your legs instead of your back. Get assistance for heavy items. You can also use dollies to transport heavy equipment.
Unpack and Reassemble
Take pictures during disassembly to ensure everything is put together correctly. Refer to your labels and assembly instructions as needed. Take time to make sure everything is in its correct spot and working correctly.
