Many folks don’t realize that rehabilitation equipment for medical centers requires some special thought behind the buying decision. Deciding what commercial fitness equipment you are going to use, what programs of rehabilitation you are going to offer.

The average ages of the individuals that will be using the fitness equipment because there is a difference in exercise equipment. For instance there is a fitness machine called the Lamar Stridewell 4450 that is incredibly easy to use from an entry and exit standpoint. Meaning getting in and out of the machine is very easy plus you get a low impact full body workout.

Opting for commercial equipment rather than home gym equipment will be a better decision as well because the commercial equipment is designed to take the rigors of a full professional health club facility, a rehabilitation clinic would most likely demand the same exercise performance. The only difference between a commercial and a home gym piece of equipment is the design of the equipment which the reflects the difference in pricing. A commercial grade fitness machine will run thousands and thousands of dollars while a home gym a few hundred.

Working in a rehabilitation center the equipment will most likely be asked to hold up to the same strenuous regimen of a full scale health club. For a rehabilitation center to save some costs without sacrificing quality they should look to the used exercise equipment market. They will find gym equipment that is as good or better than brand new equipment and save 50% or more on their exercise equipment, just make sure you talk to their customer service department, they have a good reputation, been in the industry for at least 5 years and have their own used exercise equipment repair service.

By looking into the used exercise equipment market the rehabilitation centers can get the rehabilitation equipment they need to add to their center to meet the growing needs of their patients.
