(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 07, 2010 ) Los Angeles, CA - The world is changing in many ways due in part to the accessibility of information available and the world economy as well. According to the U.S.A. Today Americans are spending less and seeking value in their purchases more then ever.

With the fitness industry growing across the world, countries whose cultures didn’t emphasize fitness in the past are coming to grips with the medical benefits documented by health experts. With world demand rising for the quality commercial grade gym equipment, certain mainstay companies have prepared to fulfill the supply by purchasing from the fallout gyms in the economic boom a few years back that have since closed their doors.

WCS Fitness is one of the Pioneers in mastering the art of buying top-notch used gym equipment and refurbishing it to like new, and with a guarantee as well. In business for over 25 years, IJR caught up with Mitch Arrington, owner of WCS Fitness, at his home base in Santa Ana, California. We asked him to explain the process and the uniqueness of his company.

Mitch said, “What I do is not rocket science however there is a right way to do things and then there is the easy way. I go after equipment that doesn’t have many hours on it, most often, a gym that goes under in the first year, or sometimes even individual consumers that bought brand new commercial machines such as Life Fitness, Precor, or Hammer Strength and they use it a few times and that’s it. I pay more for this, but when I refurbish it you’re getting a brand new piece of machinery at half the price of a new one, sometimes even more. It’s like buying a Ferrari with 2000 miles on it for half price, kind of a no brainer. It is funny, you guys are right, I am seeing more and more orders from European countries."

WCS employees explained that when Arrington talks about the easy ways of refurbishing equipment he is referring to Mega gyms that sell their equipment after 10 years of commercial use. In a previous article IJR was told that these mega used gym outlets buy this equipment for pennies on the dollar, refurbish it by replacing some belts and new paint, and then turn around and make huge profits.

The Better Business Bureau has noted numerous Consumer complaints that have mounted on these types of mega stores. Because the equipment sometimes comes without warranty and lasts sometimes as little as a week before breaking down, the consumers are left empty handed. Another practice is selling servicing plans by the same companies knowing it’s a guaranteed additional revenue stream in a matter of days.

IJR commends the diligent effort by those gym equipment suppliers such as Arrington’s, and advises all consumers in the market for this seemingly popular world commodity and encourages going with a company with a proven tenure or track record. A warranty if supplied with the product at no additional costs is a sign that the company stands behind its work enough to risk a possible refund or additional expenditure to make the sale right.
