Weight racks and squat cages: Always disassemble. Photograph every bolt and bracket before you start — the assembly manual from 4 years ago is usually gone. We bring the tools; bring us the photos. Individual pieces go in furniture blankets, bolts in labeled bags.
Treadmills and ellipticals: Most fold or partially disassemble. The base unit requires a heavy-duty appliance dolly and a 2-person minimum. Transport flat (deck-side down) — never upright. Confirm the destination door clearance before move day.
Cable machines and functional trainers: The most complex home gym pieces to move. The weight stack alone is 150–300 lbs; the frame requires full disassembly in most cases. These are quoted separately because they take significantly longer than simple furniture.
Rubber flooring: Interlocking floor tiles can be rolled up and transported easily. Glued rubber sheet flooring is typically left behind — it rarely survives removal.
Dumbbells and plates: Deadweight. A full set of dumbbells to 100 lbs weighs more than a refrigerator. We use heavy-duty floor-level dollies, not standard moving carts. Weight is packed in small boxes — 30 lbs max per box, no exceptions.
Weight plates and iron equipment on hardwood or tile floors require ground-up protection: rubber pads under the dolly, runners on all travel paths. In the destination, we place rubber mats before setting down any equipment. This is standard on every gym move — no extra charge.

Squat racks must be disassembled before moving — most bolt together in 3–5 sections. Document the assembly order with photos before disassembly. The individual pieces are typically 80–120 lbs each, requiring a 2-person team. Specialty dollies with straps prevent damage to rubber flooring.
Most treadmills fold for transport; some require partial disassembly of handlebars and consoles. The base unit is typically 200–350 lbs and needs a heavy appliance dolly. Never tilt a treadmill more than 45 degrees or transport it upright — the motor can shift.
A home gym move alongside a 2-bedroom home adds approximately $80–$200 to the job, depending on number of pieces and disassembly required. A standalone gym move (equipment only) runs $250–$450 for a typical setup with 4–6 major pieces.
