Sell or Consign Your Used Gym Equipment in Boise
Gym Outfitters very rarely buys used gym equipment outright; most of the used pieces we take in are trade-ins from customers upgrading to new equipment from us, and selected commercial-grade pieces can be sold on consignment with a 50/50 split. Email julian@gymoutfitters.com with the make, model, age and a few photos, and we will tell you which option we can offer. When we do buy a piece, you are paid within a week.
Do you buy used gym equipment in Boise?
Rarely, and usually only as a trade-in when you are upgrading to new equipment from us. Our used floor is stocked mostly by trade-ins and by local health clubs and schools that are upgrading, closing or downsizing, and we have sold and serviced commercial equipment since 1990; the used-equipment guide shows how we present it, and all used equipment shows what is on the floor today. Two ways to sell:
| Sell outright | Consign | |
|---|---|---|
| How you are paid | We make you an offer, usually as a trade-in credit on new equipment, and pay within a week | You receive 50% of the selling price when it sells |
| Who services it before listing | Our technicians inspect and service it; most pieces then carry our 90-day warranty for the buyer | Inspected by our technicians and sold with our 90-day guarantee, marked as consignment |
| Where it sits | Our showroom floor and website | Our showroom floor and website |
| Best for | Trading up to a new machine from our floor | A newer or higher-value piece where you would rather wait for the full price |
What used equipment do you buy?
Machine types: treadmills, ellipticals and AMTs, upright, recumbent and spin bikes, stepmills and climbers, rowers, functional trainers, selectorized and plate-loaded machines, racks, benches, dumbbells and plates.
How does selling to Gym Outfitters work?
- Email julian@gymoutfitters.com (or pick "Selling or trading in equipment" on the contact form) with the make and model, the age, the approximate hours or use (home or club), and three or four photos: the whole machine, the console, the serial-number sticker and any damage.
- We reply with an offer or a consignment price.
- Pickup or drop-off. Bring it to 1852 S Century Way during showroom hours, or ask about pickup. Pickup is charged by where the machine sits: a garage or ground-floor pickup costs less than carrying a machine down from upstairs.
- Our technicians go through it before it is listed.
- It goes on the floor and the website. Pieces we buy outright are technician-inspected and most carry our 90-day warranty; consignment pieces are inspected too, carry the same 90-day guarantee and are marked consignment.
- You are paid within a week for a piece we buy, or when it sells for a consignment piece.
How do you decide what it is worth?
A ten-year-old commercial machine with parts still available is worth money; a ten-year-old consumer treadmill usually is not.

FAQ: selling and consigning
Can I sell a whole gym's worth of equipment at once?
Yes. Clubs, studios, apartment communities and schools that are closing or refitting a room are where much of our used floor comes from. Email julian@gymoutfitters.com an inventory list with make, model and age for each piece and photos of the room; we will tell you what we can buy outright, what we would consign and what we would pass on.
What is the consignment split?
50/50. We list your machine on our showroom floor and website, and when it sells you receive half of the selling price. Consignment pieces are marked as consignment on the tag and the listing and carry the same 90-day guarantee as the used pieces we own.
Do you buy home-grade treadmills and bikes?
If you are unsure which category your machine is in, email julian@gymoutfitters.com a photo of the console and the model sticker.
Do you take trade-ins?
Yes; trade-ins are the main way we take in used equipment. Tell us what you are replacing when you buy from us and email julian@gymoutfitters.com the make, model, age and photos; we will make a trade-in offer, and pickup is quoted by where the machine sits in the home.
