What tips to follow while moving a gym?
If you think that moving gym equipment is all about packing the pieces of stuff and relocating to another place, you are mistaken. It takes a lot more than that to ensure that there is no untoward jerk in the whole process.
Here are some key tips that you must follow if you intend to do it by yourself-
- You have to clean and sanitize every gym instrument before moving. It will remove the bacteria and keep the brand-new look.
- Always note the metrics of the gym equipment. Unplug them, remove the safety key, and put the incline to zero.
- The boxes and the wrapping paper (bubble wrap) you choose must be sturdy enough to carry the weight.
- Lastly, cushion the boxes with towels and blankets to ensure safe travel.
However, most people make a host of mistakes while moving a gym. Either they do not have the correct set of packaging materials, or they lack the correct technique. As a result, you could face hefty losses while shifting. To avoid such scenarios, you can easily connect with us at PAM Packers and Movers Bangalore.

How do we correctly pack while moving a gym?
Here are some of the steps we follow while packing and shifting a gym. They are –
Step 1 – Sanitizing the gym equipment
Whether a commercial gym or a personal one, the first thing that our team does is – sanitize the gym equipment. We generally prefer to use all-natural and all-purpose cleaning solutions.
- Our team starts by cleaning the surfaces that are constantly touched, like handrails, weights, and sidebars, with the solution.
- For the accessories and yoga mats, we prefer to wipe them down with this solution.
- Lastly, the gym towels and other pieces of clothes are washed in a warm water cycle.
Step 2 – Get the correct set of packaging
Once the first set of activities is done, while moving a gym – our team moves on to the second phase. From small-sized sturdy boxes to keep the weights to big ones for carrying hefty apparatuses, we have every kind of box! Also, for cushioning, we have hand towels, bubble wrap, newspapers, and padding material. All of these secure the equipment and ease the transportation process.
Step 3 – Segregating the equipment
One of the most critical aspects of moving a gym is – dismantling the gym equipment and setting things up. For this, our team follows the segregation process as mentioned in the user manual. The next thing that they do is organize the small parts and ensure that each of them is together to prevent any further confusion.
From the treadmills to the stationary bike to the weightlifting and elliptical machine, every item is unplugged, and the settings are turned to default. Also, before the final dismantling, our team does a thorough checking of the knobs and the wires to ease the transportation and setting process in the future. Regarding the big apparatus, we prefer wrapping them in moving blankets, while for smaller dumbbells, we prefer to cover them with towels.
Step 4 – Packing everything correctly
Once the segregation is over, our team then concentrates on packing everything correctly, with the proper cushioning. As the boxes are set for particular equipment, the next thing is to put in the correct cushioning and then set the equipment. Once the items are packed well, you have to tape the boxes and label them correctly for future convenience.
Step 5 – Having the correct set of vehicles for traveling
The last step in ensuring tension-free moving a gym is getting the correct set of travel vehicles. We have secure GPS-monitored vehicles. Every item is set according to the place, and then the team constantly monitors the travel route and progress till the time you reach your destination. We constantly coordinate with you throughout the process.
