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 uses FitnessNav benchmark data: equipment useful life, maintenance %, energy consumption, pricing and scenario presets. Every assumption shown in the result references its benchmark metric. Benchmarks are verified over time through industry research — draft values are clearly flagged.
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.
