The Different Types Of Machines We Can Reupholster In Your Gym

Why Would You Reupholster Gym Equipment? 

Gym equipment can be expensive and often requires a lot of maintenance. Gym owners know that an investment in gym upholstery is an intelligent way to keep their members happy and healthy and protect the longevity of their machines. With so many different types of exercise equipment out there, gym owners need to think about what type they have before going shopping for new upholstery. 

In this article, we take a closer look at upholstering options for bikes, floor mats and weight benches, more often than not these are the machines we can work with, but if you do have any other items that need upholstering in your gym all you need to do is get in touch with us and we can see if it is possible. Our team have provided upholstery services for several years and because of this, we should be your first port of call. 

Gym Upholstery

There are a few things to consider regarding gym upholstery. The first is the type of machine you want to reupholster – is it a treadmill, elliptical, bike, or something else? The second is the type of fabric you want-either vinyl or cloth? Vinyl is easy to clean and resistant to tears and stains, while the cloth is softer and more comfortable. The fabric’s colour and pattern are the third things to consider – do you want something bright and colourful or something more subdued? 

And finally, think about the cost – will you be doing the reupholstery yourself or hiring a professional? By choosing our team you are more than likely to save yourself money, our team of professionals will be more than capable of providing you with the highest quality gym upholstery services. 

Bikes

Bikes are an essential piece of equipment in any gym. They’re a great way to get a HIIT workout, and they offer a lot of flexibility in terms of resistance. When reupholstering your bikes, you have the same options as to when reupholstering your elliptical trainers. Vinyl or cloth are the two choices that gym owners have when choosing what fabric they want their bikes upholstered in. Just because it’s an item commonly found in a gym doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish. Give your members a fresh new look with an upholstered bike! 

Weight Benches

Weight benches are another item commonly seen in gyms, so giving them a little extra TLC is essential. They can be expensive to replace, and gym owners shouldn’t spend their money lightly. Vinyl is a popular choice for weight benches because of its resistance to stains and tears when it comes to reupholstering your weight bench. The fabric is slightly softer, but it’s not resistant to damage. When reupholstering a weight bench, the final thing to consider is if you’d like to add bar pads. 

These are great for protecting both the gym equipment and the members, preventing damage to the upholstery. If you choose to add bar pads, ensure that they’re re-upholstered in the same fabric as your weight bench.

Floor Mats

Finally, we’ll take a look at gym flooring. Floor mats are another essential item in your gym that needs protection against damage and wear and tear. Gym owners have several options for their floor mats upholstered in vinyl, fabric, or rubber. Vinyl is the choice that makes the most sense when it comes to something commonly exposed to moisture, like weight benches.

Fabric is another durable choice, but you’ll need to give it special attention for it not to fade or run the risk of shrinking. Rubber flooring has its own set of challenges when reupholstering-one, the biggest being its tendency to attract dust and lint. If you can manage those challenges, rubber flooring is another excellent option.
