I don’t usually write negative reviews, but this has been a genuinely frustrating and disappointing experience — especially given the amount of money we’ve invested.
We purchased a large amount of AlphaFit equipment for our physio clinic and performance gym in Queenstown, New Zealand. This included an outdoor rig, sled, and additional pieces. We made the decision to go with AlphaFit because of their reputation and paid a premium, including upgrading to zinc-coated steel specifically to ensure durability in an outdoor environment.
Unfortunately, the reality has not matched what was promised.
Within less than 6 months, the sled has already started rusting — which is completely unacceptable given the coating we paid extra for and the intended use. This was raised early, and to their credit, we initially had a Zoom call with one of their engineers to discuss the issue. That gave me confidence at the time that things would be addressed.
However, since that call… nothing.
No follow-up. No resolution. No accountability.
This is despite multiple reassurances that the issue would be sorted. Communication has simply dropped off, which is extremely poor given the level of investment and the fact this is commercial equipment.
To make matters worse, the powder coating on our force plate iso rack has also started coming off in a very short period of time. Again, not what you expect from equipment marketed as premium and built to last.
The most frustrating part is not just the product issues — it’s the lack of after-sales support. Things can go wrong, but how a company responds is what defines them. In this case, the follow-through has been extremely poor.
We chose AlphaFit expecting a high-end, durable product and professional service to match. Unfortunately, our experience has been the opposite. At this stage, we are left with rusting equipment, deteriorating finishes, and no clear resolution.
Given the price point and positioning of this brand, this is simply not good enough.
I would strongly advise others to think carefully before investing — particularly if you’re purchasing for outdoor use or for a commercial facility. Based on our experience, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Natasha & the Team always deliver! Alphafit products are of the highest commercial quality! Being Australian Made plays an important role. Thank you Team Alphafit for a great fitout.

There was only ever going to one choice for Electric Fitness when choosing a supplier for our fit-out and that was AlphaFit. I was able to call Will (our rep) and discuss our needs plus visit the factory to take a closer look at all the equipment.
When we were ready to start the fit-out the Alphafit team were there all the way which included installation of the flooring, rig, storage and cardio equipment. All done within a few days. Outstanding.
Electric is very happy with the space incorporating our colour theme of black and white throughout the range of equipment.

Hands down the best quality products you can get in Australia.
Every aspect of working with Alpha Fit has been quality, from initially speaking with Will to the delivery of the gym equipment.
I cannot speak highly enough of the products and service - and to top it off its all made and designed in Australia

Purchased a Core adjustable utility bench, loving the stability and how solid it feels under weight compared to bolt together bench, and looks good in my home gym powder coated in blue
Highly recommend to anyone chasing a quality Aussie made product
