What Exactly Does “Certified Refurbished” Mean?

Ace Fitness Equipment purchases only the top commercial quality cardio brands from gyms that upgrade their equipment every 3-5 years. We purchase them in bulk and pass the savings on to our customers.

“Refurbished” does not necessarily mean that a machine was broken or non-functional, then repaired. At Ace, it means that a device was used in a gym for a few years, purchased by us, and then we’ve taken each unit through an extensive refurbishing process to produce a beautiful, fully functional long-lasting cardio fitness machine.

We take “certified refurbished” far above and beyond “like new.” Three components shape Ace-Certified Refurbished Certification:

1. Our certified technicians
2. Our seven-stage refurbishing process
3. Our warranty, which backs up that certification

The steps of our seven-stage refurbishing process are:

• Visual inspection
• External testing
• Internal evaluation
• Refurbishing and replacing
• Sanding and/or painting
• Reassembly
• Final inspection for ACE Certification

Our certified technicians have far more than just experience repairing and servicing equipment in the Signal Hill, Long Beach, CA area. Every tech has completed numerous courses, certifications, and training from companies that include StairMaster, Precor, Life Fitness, and FreeMotion.

In addition, we require that every technician have a minimum of two years of experience; they must also pass certification exams before they can even work on any piece of cardio fitness equipment.

What Types of Refurbished Cardio Fitness Machines Are Available?

There are four types of cardio fitness equipment we offer that are best-sellers nationwide. These are:

• Ellipticals
• Stair climbers
• Treadmills
• Exercise Bikes

Every elliptical, stair climber, treadmill, and exercise bike we sell undergoes our seven-stage refurbishing process.

Ellipticals

Elliptical trainers, also sometimes known as cross-trainers or glider machines, are full-body and lower-body cardio machines that provide some of the best workouts for fitness enthusiasts of all levels. One of the most attractive aspects of these machines is the fact that they allow a user to climb, walk or run without putting excessive pressure on their joints.

This decreases a fitness enthusiast’s risk of injury. Ellipticals are outstanding gym machines for anyone who wants to maintain fitness and rebuild muscle strength after an injury, thanks to their low-impact requirements on joints.

Our top-selling brand of ellipticals is Precor. These are also the most popular commercial grade ellipticals in all of the top gyms across the country. From the Precor EFX 546i and the Precor 835 EFX to the Precor AMT 835 Open Stride, we have several models at any given time available, and they will all be Ace Certified and ready to ship to you, no matter where in the USA you are.

Ellipticals are our best-selling product and for good reason. The cardio workout and calorie-burning benefits they provide are second to none. Ellipticals boost your stamina, burn an intense amount of calories per workout, improve your balance and burn body fat, all with less stress on your joints than most other types of exercises.

Elliptical machines will work your adductors, abductors, chest, biceps, triceps, back, glutes, and even your calves, hamstrings, and quads. Despite the low impact that elliptical workouts provide, users can still burn a whopping 450 calories in just 30 minutes when done at a moderate rate of intensity.

Whether you already know you love ellipticals or you want to get on one for the first time to see what all of the hype is about, you’ll love the complete upper- and lower-body workout these commercial cardio fitness machines provide.

Stair Climbers

Stair climbers represent the pinnacle of cardio equipment and are some of the most heavily used cardio fitness machines at the gym. In fact, stair climbers are our second best-selling product, and StairMaster is our top-selling brand of stair climber equipment. These exercise machines provide cardio workouts that are intense, effective, powerful, and low-impact.

Stair climbers are popular in the most elite gyms across the country for several reasons. The best climbers feature full-size revolving staircases, easy-to-read digital displays, built-in workout programs, ergonomically designed handrails, water bottle holders, smooth stepping action, a subtle design, and high user weight limits.

The benefits of stair climbers are extensive and include things like:

• Core muscle strength building
• Stronger hamstrings and calves
• Tones glutes
• Stronger quads
• Healthier bones
• Maximized cardio effort
• Stress relief
• Aerobic conditioning
• Calorie burning

Stair climbers are very versatile and approachable cardio fitness machines, so many people prefer them because they never get bored during workouts! The top machines even have touch screen displays that make you feel like you’re hiking up famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower!

Stair climbers work for several key muscle groups all at once safely and efficiently, without the stress and impact of running. Improve your balance, boost your endurance and elevate your cardiovascular health with StairMaster stair climbers.

Strengthening your leg muscles with an Ace Certified Refurbished stair climber can also improve your energy levels and lower your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes. All of these benefits combined also mean that you’ll lower your mortality rate, and there’s no greater benefit than that.

Treadmills

Precor, Freemotion, and Woodway are all leading brand names of the most popular treadmills in fitness centers and gyms from coast to coast. Our inventory of Ace Certified treadmills here in the Signal Hill, Long Beach, CA area, includes all of the top brands, including the #1 brand Precor, along with models of commercial machines that are most in-demand.

Treadmills have long been a beloved type of cardio fitness equipment for a wide range of fitness enthusiasts covering a broad spectrum of fitness levels. The most popular models we refurbish and sell are those packed with features like smooth running surfaces, Precor’s patented belt system and impact control system, emergency stop capability, and built-in workout programs.

The best models also include digital displays, comfortable grip handlebars, contact heart rate sensors, various speed ranges, and incline/decline options.

Commercial treadmills have a higher user weight limit than standard home models. They are designed to be extra durable and perform better for longer, too. Ace Certified Refurbished models come with industry-leading warranties that will guarantee the long lifespan of your cardio fitness equipment. Should it need service or repairs, we’ll take care of it.

Not just any company can purchase commercial treadmills in bulk from gyms; only those that are reputable and have a long history of purchasing in large quantities like Ace Fitness Equipment.

Exercise Bikes

Whether you’re interested in an upright exercise bike or a recumbent bike, Ace Fitness Equipment has Precor and Life Fitness bikes available – which are two of the top brand names in commercial bikes. Just as with treadmills, stair climbers, and ellipticals, every bike made available for purchase by our customers has gone through our 7-step refurbishing process by our certified techs.

Commercial grade exercise bikes are packed with top-of-the-line features and accessories. Some of these include:

• Multiple levels of resistance
• Strong steel frames
• Sweat-resistant handlebars
• Digital console with data readouts
• Pre-installed workout programs

The benefits of using an exercise bike cannot be understated. Fitness enthusiasts can boost cardio fitness, burn body fat, and strengthen muscles in the lower body and legs. Using a commercial exercise bike is safer than road cycling and provides an excellent low-impact workout, too.

Biking is often one of the first exercises recommended for people who are recovering from an illness or injury to their legs because of that low-impact benefit. The convenience of indoor biking paired with these benefits makes this exercise one of the all-time favorites of athletes of all physical conditions and abilities.

Upright Exercise Bikes vs. Recumbent Bikes: What’s the Difference?

It’s important to know the differences between these two types of exercise bikes available from Ace Fitness Equipment because they cover more than just the user’s position.

Recumbent bikes put the user in a more natural position than an upright bike, which is usually easier on a person’s back. In most cases, backrests are slightly reclined. In addition, seats are usually wider than those of upright bikes and provide more lumbar support. Recumbent bikes are generally more comfortable to use.

Although not as comfortable or supportive for the back, upright bikes can provide a better workout for the body. Due to the non-reclined position of the user, more muscles must engage during an upright bike workout, including core abdominal muscles.

It is misleading to assume that recumbent bikes don’t burn as many calories as upright bikes. Calorie burn is determined by the duration and intensity of a bike workout more than anything else.
