5-Year Replacement Budget
$115,000
60% confidence · model v1.0.0
14 units reach end-of-life within 5 years
A 4-year-old mixed fleet carries $115,000 of end-of-life value; $0 lands in the next 12 months (0 units).
End-of-life queue by section
Sections sorted by replacement exposure.
| Cost Item | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial Treadmill ×7 — ~4 yr left (8y life) | $84,000 | 73% |
| Elliptical ×3 — ~3 yr left (7y life) | $21,000 | 18% |
| Exercise Bike ×3 — ~3 yr left (7y life) | $7,500 | 7% |
| Rower ×1 — ~4 yr left (8y life) | $2,500 | 2% |
Smooth the spike with phased orders
If year-one exceeds budget, split the overdue tranche across two quarters and bridge with rentals — downtime on cardio costs more than the bridging fee.
Assumptions
- • Uniform fleet age: 4 years across all sections
- • Lifespan source: Manufacturer-rated per profile
- • Price basis: mid tier list prices
Limitations
- • Batch age simplification — Real fleets buy in waves; per-unit purchase dates sharpen this materially.
- • No resale offset — Used commercial equipment retains value; net cost is lower than shown.
Data sources & method
This tool is a calculation model, not a database lookup. It runs arithmetic on the numbers you enter, using an explicit formula and a small set of documented default assumptions (service intervals, energy prices, useful life). Every assumption it applies is listed in the result, and each one is a default you can overwrite.
We do not hold a benchmark dataset. FitnessNav operates no gyms, runs no fleet, and has never collected equipment telemetry, so there is no measured useful-life, maintenance-rate or downtime distribution behind these models. The default assumptions come from published manufacturer documentation and standard trade practice, and they are labelled as assumptions \u2014 not as findings. Treat the output as a structured way to think about a decision, and replace every default with your own numbers before it leaves your desk. If a vendor hands you a benchmark, ask for the sample size and the age of the machines in it.
Equipment Replacement Planner — frequently asked questions
Which machines enter the refresh window?
Any type whose fleet age leaves less than five years of benchmark life. Units within one year of end-of-life are flagged due within 12 months.
How is the refresh budget estimated?
Due unit counts multiplied by current tier-adjusted prices, quoted at today's prices without inflation assumptions.
My whole fleet is uniformly 4 years old — anything due?
Cardio types with 7–8-year lives enter the window from about year three onward; racks and dumbbells with 10–15-year lives stay out for years.
Can I phase replacements across years?
Yes — the horizon separates due-within-12-months units from the wider five-year window so you can stage capital spend deliberately.
