The commercial-grade equipment is from closed locations of Steve Nash Fitness World, Able Auctions president Jeremy Dodd confirmed.

Under new ownership, the fitness company is being restructured.

91ƵThere are somewhere between 250 and 300 pieces of equipment (for auction),91Ƶ Dodd said. 91ƵRight now it91Ƶs all cardio. Strength (equipment) is going to come but not quite yet. There are different owners of the equipment, different leasing companies that owned all this.

91ƵI91Ƶve never seen this much (equipment) like this before, it91Ƶs an awful lot,91Ƶ Dodd added.

During the pandemic, Able Auctions encourages people to bid and make payments online.

91ƵIt91Ƶs gone really smoothly,91Ƶ Dodd said. 91ƵIt91Ƶs definitely a buyer91Ƶs market, you know, so there are good buys right now. As far as the process goes, it91Ƶs quite seamless and smooth doing it this way. , we get going at usually 9:30 in the morning on a given day, and we go through the items one at a time and sell it all off 91Ƶ just like a live auction but with no auctioneer.91Ƶ
