outpaced auto parts to become the bulk of the company business. “We had that down pat,” noted Jim.


“It just made sense to transition into fitness. There was a market there for rebuilding that wasn’t around.

I had a background in rebuilding that I en- joyed already, and we had the facil- ity, so it just made sense to move into that.” From the start, Keystone Fitness


provided high-quality, affordable pre-owned commercial-grade fit- ness equipment and exceptional cus- tomer service to its customers. From its original location in North York, Keystone tripled in size to its current 30,000-square-foot facility in Vaughn that includes a showroom, ware- house, offices, production area, and a

5,000-square-foot gym floor and fit- ness showroom where clients are en- couraged to try out equipment - more than 2,000 pieces at any given time, with the largest and most diverse in- ventory in Canada. The service department can answer


any technical question, and the pro- duction area shows clients how equip- ment is refurbished to withstand more years of use, with replacement parts available at prices that won’t break the bank.


The company has a multi-facet-


ed client roster in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Australia and the Middle East. It sells to health and fitness clubs of all sizes, personal training studios, group training facilities, athletic per- formance centers, community recre- ational centers, military bases, correc- tional centers, condominiums, hotels, physiotherapy/rehab clinics, corporate wellness centers, emergency service groups (police, EMS, fire stations) and schools.
