Other than what you pick up at our warehouse, your purchases will be delivered to you by Busy Body’s delivery professionals, or by our contracted delivery company; Fitness Express. So, various options are available for installation, depending on the complexity of the item/s you've purchased. Many items only require minimal assembly and will be handled by our installation teams. But more complicated installation requires a crew that is specialized in larger more sophisticated installations. Many of these items are installed by Fitness Express.

Fitness Express is Houston’s largest and most trusted fitness equipment assemblers and have performed deliveries for Busy Body since 1993.  All delivery crews have a minimum of 10 years experience in delivering nothing but fitness equipment! 

Every delivery is guaranteed, warranted as well as all installers bonded and insured.  Our delivery personnel will carefully install all items where you want them, haul away any packaging and shipping materials and any old equipment you may no longer need (removal fee may apply). All items delivered are inspected for proper function and a check list will be left with you indicating that each item was checked, cleaned and working properly.  Items with serial numbers will be recorded on the check list.

Treadmills

You will need to completely unpack the treadmill, assemble, adjust it in place, level the unit, plug it in, and perform calibration procedures. Calibration instructions will be included in the owner’s manual.  Most treadmill manufactures require the treadmill be plugged into a dedicated 120v/15amp circuit.  Commercial units normally require a Nema 5/20amp dedicated circuit.   Some treadmills may require adjustments to the Walking Belt as well as the Drive Belt.  Proper adjustment is essential and if not performed properly may cause damage to the treadmill.  Empty boxes should be broken down and left for large/heavy trash pickup.  

Home Gyms

Find a location you will enjoy using your new Home Gym.  Locate the instructions and mentally position the gym in your space so that all exercise can be performed without interference.  You will need to completely unpack all pieces prior to starting.  FOLLOW the instructions step by step!  Many steps must be completed prior to continuing!  Once you are finished, it is important to double check all bolts for proper tightness.  Be sure to lubricate the guide rods for proper smoothness.  All boxes should be broken down and left for large/heavy trash pickup.     

Exercise Bikes

Both Upright and Recumbent bikes can usually be self installed with minimal difficulties.  Most bikes come with wheels, so once assembled you will be able to move these units with ease.  Some bikes are heavy so be careful.  Special tools may be required on various bikes (check with your sales person for details). 

Elliptical Cross Trainers

Elliptical cross trainers usually do not take long to install although they tend to be awkward and heavy.  Most elliptical cross trainers require 2 individuals to carry, move, and assemble.  Once assembled they may be difficult to relocate in the room.  Boxes are large and may require heavy trash pickup for them to leave the end of your driveway.  Some ellipticals come in wooden crates that will require disassembly.

Weight Benches/Racks/Smith Machines

Weight benches and power racks are fairly easy and require minimal knowledge of product assembly.  We do recommend following the instructions even though proper assembly may appear obvious.  Always measure the length of your bolts before installation.  Many bolts may differ by only a ¼ inch, and using the wrong size bolt can be dangerous. 

Smith Machines require delicate assembly of the guide rods.  Many first timers damage the linier bearings during installation.  Recheck your work and test unit for smoothness and proper fit prior to loading weight on your system.

Misc. Assembly Notes

Talk with your salesperson to make sure all your installation bases are covered.  Few manufactures supply extra parts, never throw away any leftovers.
