Hire the right moving company
Hiring a moving company is arguably the easiest way to move your equipment. When arranging your quote, mention your home gym and the equipment you have. Size, weight and design all impact packing. You may incur additional charges if disassembly and reassembly are required. Using a registered and insured moving company will offset damages and missing pieces that cannot be done with a DIY job. Specialty services is the starting point.
Clean, pack, and label
Gyms are home to bacteria you will not want to bring to your new home. Clean and sanitise all equipment. Pack from light skipping ropes to heavier free weights with proper labelling. Use cardboard or plastic for heavier items. Label heavier items to reduce injury. Disassemble when possible or wait for the crew. Use moving mats and plastic wrap to protect equipment, walls and floors.
Moving safely
Small items from yoga mats to free weights can be moved by hand when packed correctly. Use bags and heavy-duty boxes, distribute weight equally, and use dollies on multiple boxes. Many treadmills and bench presses are collapsible. They are still bulky. Slide mats underneath and move slowly to avoid damaging wooden floors and carpets.
