If you own an older multi gym or are considering purchasing a used multi gym, you should be aware that it can be, at times, difficult to find multi gym spare parts. Whether your multi gym is missing something minor such as a 5lb weight or needs replacement parts due to the gym being used heavily, when it comes time to get replacement parts, finding a stockist who specialises in replacement parts for multi gyms is the best way to ensure that the parts needed are correct.
Where to Look
Finding a stockist for multi gym products and accessories can be a challenge. Web searches result in many listings for related businesses such as businesses that sell new gyms, not parts for them. Even ringing businesses listed in the yellow pages can be tedious. What this means is finding a stockist of multi gym spare parts is an exercise in patience and perseverance. Internet searches should be refined to include the model and brand name of the multi gym as well as the word repair. If possible, doing a web search of the part number is actually one of the best ways to locate a web based stockist of parts for your multi gym. Finding a part number is easy if you retained your paperwork from the gym, however, most manufacturers include part numbers and manuals on their websites.
Look at their selection
Finding spare parts for your multi gym should be easy once an appropriate stockist is found. Some may only carry certain parts though and if you end up needing others they do not have in stock it could take quite a bit longer to get your spare parts. Typically, a stockist will have parts that are easily lost or misplaced, as well as any parts that break or have replacement intervals. For a multi gym, this means they will have clips, small extra weights, replacement pins and even cables. However, if you need something that does not need frequent replacement such as a new pull bar or a replacement pad for the seating area; that is when you will realise whether the stockist really has a warehouse full of spare parts for your particular model of multi gym.
Other Considerations
Stockist’s prices will vary quite a bit as will their shipping prices. Because of this, finding competing stockists is a good idea when possible. There may be parts that one company has better prices for, while the other company has a better inventory. If you are purchasing one part, consider adding other parts that you know you will need in the future onto the order as well, to save on shipping costs. Some local stockists will also have technicians available that can come look at your multi gym to determine if anything else needs to be worked on or to install the parts that your multi gym needed. While this service adds to your costs, you can then be assured that the work is done by a professional. Often times, when installation is added, warranty protection is included for the work done, adding value to the experience.
