Most commercial gym owners start out as someone who is passionate about health and fitness. This passion blossoms into a desire to help others, and eventually it becomes a career path. It’s a labor of love, but it’s also a business. Most days are long and start early. Even with the best fitness mind, if you don’t possess business savvy, you are doomed! It’s now more difficult and complicated than ever to make the correct decision on fitness equipment. That’s why more and more gym owners are turning to Ironcompany® to assist in the purchase of commercial gym equipment.

At Ironcompany, our mission goes beyond just selling fitness equipment. We view every client as an opportunity to develop a long-term partnership. In addition, we bring the following value to every customer and every sale:

• Communication and Education
• Comprehensive Selection
• Delivery and Logistics
• Ongoing Relationship

Commercial gyms span the gamut of operations:

• The “big box,” which typically has massive square footage, a sea of equipment and many amenities;
• The niche gym, which can be a crossfit box, an activity-specific gym, a group fitness gym or a 24-hour-access gym;
• The community gym, which is location based and convenience;
• The personal training gym.

Communications and Education

Commercial fitness equipment is not a commodity at Ironcompany...it's our PASSION. Not only are we involved in fitness on a personal level, but we also purchase what we sell. For example, just weeks ago I purchased a wobble board to use while standing at my desk. Our sales team has over 100 years combined experience in the industry, and we regularly meet with our manufacturing partners for the latest training and trends. You’ve got a tremendous wealth of information at your disposal with Ironcompany, and we’re eager to share it. Do you know what the best rolled rubber flooring thickness is to use in a commercial gym? That’s just one small but very important question that Ironcompany can answer for you.

We understand that the priority of a "big box" gym that is well established is equipment that exhibits longevity and customer satisfaction. In the case of a personal training gym, Ironcompany knows how to make your budget work.

In addition, Ironcompany knows how to communicate with a start-up gym owner and orchestrate the arrival of all equipment. For example, rubber flooring needs to be delivered first and installed before anything else.

Delivery and Logistics

Delivery is important! If you’ve ever waited for a commercial truck delivery that didn’t show up, even after they called and set up an appointment, you know just how important proper delivery arrangements are. Ironcompany’s shipping cost will not necessarily be the “cheapest,” but it will be on time and arrive in pristine condition. Our transportation partner is one of the top carriers in the industry, and their trucks never go “missing in action.”

Ongoing Relationship

It’s not over after the sale. We’re interested in your success because we view it as win-win scenario. We love talking fitness and discussing the latest trends in the industry. Taking care of our customers is very important, and we have a dedicated customer service team that is devoted to doing just that.
