Delivery & Installation
COMING 20TH JANUARY 2026!
There’s no need to worry about putting your machine together – we’ve got you covered!
We now offer an installation service for all our Marcy strength and cardio products, available as an optional extra at checkout.
Why Professional Installation of Gym Equipment Is Important
Professional installation is a fundamental part of ensuring gym equipment operates safely, efficiently, and to its full engineering potential. Modern multi-gyms and cardio machines are precision-built systems that rely on exact alignment, calibrated resistance, and secure load distribution.
Without professional installation, even the highest-quality equipment can underperform, wear prematurely, or pose serious safety risks if not installed and set up correctly.
At Exercise.co.uk, our team of professional installation service engineers ensures every component is assembled, positioned, calibrated, and tested to manufacturer specifications, delivering maximum performance and long-term reliability.
Each customer can be reassured they are in safe hands with our Installation teams.
Choosing to purchase a professional installation through Exercise.co.uk is not an added cost; it is a strategic investment in performance, safety, and long-term value.
Precision Engineering Requires Expert Installation
Gym equipment can contain complex mechanical systems, including pulley assemblies, resistance pulleys, drive belts, bearings, motors, and electronic consoles. These systems require:
- Accurate frame alignment to prevent structural stress
- Correct cable routing and tension to ensure smooth, even resistance
- Proper torque settings on load-bearing bolts and fixings
- Correct belt alignment on Treadmills
Improper assembly compromises mechanical efficiency, increases friction, accelerates component failure, and significantly reduces equipment lifespan.
Load-Bearing Safety and Structural Integrity
Strength and cardio equipment are designed to withstand high dynamic loads. Professional installers ensure:
- Weight stacks and guide rods are perfectly vertical with the correct tension and cable range
- Frames are level and fully stabilised
- Floor loading requirements are observed and met/mentioned
- Clearance specifications are followed
Failure to meet these standards can lead to instability, abnormal movement, or structural fatigue, increasing the risk of equipment failure/ feeling off and potentially user injury.
Performance Calibration and Functional Testing
Professional installation includes full system calibration and testing. This ensures:
- Resistance levels are accurate and consistent
- Moving parts operate smoothly under load
- Electronic consoles, sensors, and safety systems function correctly
- Emergency stops and safety mechanisms respond instantly
Calibrated equipment delivers better training outcomes, improved biomechanics, and a superior user experience.
Warranty Protection and Manufacturer Compliance
Some manufacturers require professional installation for warranty validation. Incorrect assembly can invalidate warranties and expose customers to costly repairs. Exercise.co.uk installation service ensures full compliance with manufacturer guidelines, protecting your investment and providing documented assurance that your equipment meets all required standards.

Optimised Layout and Commercial Grade Planning
Our installation specialists assess and comply with:
- Room dimensions and ceiling height
- Ventilation and electrical access
- Safe movement zones and training clearances
- Equipment spacing for optimal workflow
This technical planning maximises usability, improves safety, and creates a professional-grade training environment within your home.
Reduced Downtime and Immediate Usability
Professional installation eliminates delays, errors, and reassembly issues. Equipment is delivered via our couriers, then later installed, tested, and commissioned efficiently, allowing immediate use without compromise. This ensures customers begin training sooner, with confidence in the reliability of their equipment.
Why a Professional Installation
Exercise.co.uk combines industry expertise, technical precision, and customer-focused service. Our team of trained installation engineers understand the mechanical and electronic demands of modern gym equipment. Every installation is completed to the highest standards, ensuring:
- Maximum safety
- Peak performance
- Extended equipment lifespan
- Full warranty protection, no questions asked
Delivery and Installation
We offer an installation service for all our Marcy strength and cardio products, which can be purchased with your machine as an optional extra at checkout.
Head here for full delivery details – Extra delivery charges may apply for postcodes outside the UK Mainland. Please see the product listing or checkout to see if this applies to your order – these are separate from the installation charge.
Once you have placed an order with us that includes installation, we will ship your order directly to you (see your order confirmation for details). You should expect to receive an email from a team member confirming that your order has been processed and the details have been passed to the installers.
We will then liaise with our third-party installers to arrange your installation at a time suitable for you. They will contact you directly within 72 working hours, and installation will take place within 10-14 working days of delivery (slightly longer for non-UK mainland postcodes).
Please note the product must be in the room you want it installed in before the installers arrive – the installers cannot move this for you. If your order is being delivered with DX 2Man, they will place this in your room of choice. All other couriers will be kerbside only.
The installers will not remove or dispose of any packaging.
We recommend allowing a full working day for the installation.
You can cancel your installation up to 48 working hours before the scheduled date. Any cancellations after this timeframe will not be eligible for a refund.
For rescheduled installations, a revisit charge may apply if we are notified less than 48 hours before the scheduled installation.
When you purchase installation, you are agreeing to us sharing your details with third-party installers. In line with GDPR, we will not share your details with anyone else.
If you have any issues, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected] or 0300 131 2790, and someone will assist you further.
Seller Cancellations and Excluded Postcodes
We reserve the right to cancel any installation purchase at any time. If this is due to an error on our behalf, you will be refunded in full. If the installation is purchased for an excluded postcode, this will be cancelled and refunded in full.
Excluded postcodes include BT, PO (ISLE OF WIGHT), IM, HS, TR (ISLES OF SCILLY), INNER HEBRIDES, ANY SCOTLAND ISLANDS LIKE ISLE OF MULL, ISLAY, JURA, NORTHERN IRELAND, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
Installation After-Care
Once your machine is assembled, the installers will walk you through it to make sure it works, show you how to use it, and complete a form to ensure there are no issues or snags. Any issues will be sent to us, and we will be in touch to resolve them; however, once this form is signed, you agree that you are happy with the product as is. Any issues such as cosmetic damage, not mentioned on the snag form at the time of install, may not be able to be rectified. So make sure you’re 100% happy before our installers leave!
Then you just need to register your warranty. All products are covered by a free, standard 2-year warranty. If any parts fail or the product develops a fault, contact us directly, and we can get this fixed for you. For most products, replacing a part is a simple fix, so we will ship the part to you with a simple how-to guide on how to replace this – the installers won’t come back out to you.
Want to cover your product for longer? Purchase Exercare at checkout or within 3 months of purchase for an extra 3-year warranty.
For full warranty and extended warranty details, plus how to register, head to exercise.co.uk/warranty/.
Once your product has been installed, it is also no longer eligible for return. If the product is faulty or damaged, the returns policy applies, and after the 14 days, your warranty covers you; however, if you decide you no longer want the product once assembled, the returns policy does not apply.
If you decide you no longer want the product and/or installation within the 48 working hours of your scheduled install, you can return your product; however, as per the returns policy, this will incur a returns fee, and you will not receive a refund of the installation charge.
