Effective Date: October 26, 2023

At Strength Warehouse, we engineer our commercial-grade fitness equipment for durability and performance. We stand behind every bench, rack, dumbbell, and machine we sell. However, we understand that sometimes a product may not meet your specific training needs. Our Returns & Exchanges policy is designed with the same transparency and reliability you expect from our equipment—clear, straightforward, and built on integrity.

Quick Summary: We accept returns and exchanges within 15 days of delivery for most items. Products must be in original, unused condition with all packaging and manuals. Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility unless the item is defective or incorrect. Refunds are processed within 5-10 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item.

1. Eligibility & Timeframe

You may initiate a return or exchange request within 15 calendar days from the date you receive your order. To be eligible:

  • The item must be in its original, unused, and unassembled condition.
  • All original packaging, manuals, warranty cards, and accessories must be included.
  • The item must not show any signs of wear, damage, or modification.
  • A valid proof of purchase (order number) is required.

2. Non-Returnable Items IMPORTANT

Due to hygiene, safety, and customization reasons, the following product categories are FINAL SALE and cannot be returned or exchanged unless defective upon arrival:

  • Dumbbell Packages & Adjustable Dumbbells (opened/sealed units)
  • Bodyweight Training equipment with installed or used grips
  • Cable Machine Attachments that show any signs of use
  • Accessories (opened packages)
  • Custom or specially ordered items for facility outfitters
  • Any product missing its serial number or security tags
Note: This list is based on our product categories and industry standards for fitness equipment. Products designed for intimate use or those that cannot be resold for safety reasons are excluded from standard returns.
