Resources: Home Gym in Storage? Here Are Some Resources to Help
From finding the right moving help to knowing where to sell or donate equipment you no longer need, there are many useful resources. We’ve gathered some right here so you can spend less time searching and more time focused on your move.
Before anything else, let Guardian Storage do some of the heavy lifting. Our online size guide at guardianstorage.com takes the guesswork out of choosing the right unit for your gym setup.
Our team at any Guardian location is also available by phone or in person to walk you through your options. Renting online gets you a free lock; and our free moving truck can make a real dent in your moving day logistics.
For Selling Equipment
Facebook Marketplace is one of the best places to sell gym equipment locally. Buyers can come to you, which means no shipping.
OfferUp and eBay are worth a look too.
For Donating Equipment
Goodwill, The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity ReStores typically accept gym equipment. Check before you load up.
For a faster connection to local recipients, try Freecycle or the Free section on local online neighborhood platforms.
For Finding the Right Movers
The American Moving and Storage Association, a division of the American Trucking Association, has a search tool to find licensed, vetted movers in your area. For an additional layer of confidence, look for movers who specifically mention specialty item or fitness equipment experience, as proper disassembly and padding techniques make a big difference in protecting your gear during transport.
If you’re doing a DIY move, U-Haul, Penske, and Budget all offer truck rentals with equipment dollies and furniture pads for rent.
For Insurance
It’s worth knowing that most standard homeowner or rental insurance policies do not automatically cover items kept in a storage unit. Before your move, call your insurance provider and ask specifically about off-premises personal property coverage for high-value items like fitness equipment.
With the right storage solutions holding your gym equipment safe, you can move forward with confidence.
