Rutherford Fitness
Hire & Sales

We are the only dedicated hire fitness company in New Zealand. Our experienced and knowledgeable teams throughout the country offer you unsurpassed, personalized service.

Rutherford’s Managing Director, Croydon Rutherford, began the company over 25 years ago when he identified a need for individuals to be able to exercise in the comfort, safety and convenience of their own home. Croydon has been in the fitness industry for over 30 years. He has played Badminton for New Zealand, rep tennis for Manawatu and still enjoys playing squash on a regular basis and is a keen golfer when time permits. Croydon is fully aware of the benefits being active brings.

All of Rutherford’s equipment is hand picked by Croydon to suit the average New Zealand user and to handle the rigors of being hired out. We do not sell basic low level, low spec machines that you see being sold cheap on the internet. Yes there is a difference in quality and performance of different machines.

The best thing about hiring is that you don’t have to commit to buying something. You can try it out first to make sure you’re going to firstly use it, and then also to see if you actually like that particular machine. At the end of the day if you don’t end up using it or liking it you can return it and you haven’t paid hundreds or thousands for something you don’t want. Plus if you do fall in love with your machine you can buy it and we give you some of your hire money off the purchase price and then we also offer interest free terms. So you basically can’t lose from trying before you buy.

At Rutherford’s we back up our machines with warranties, and our in house service team are here to help if the need arises. No internet selling company can help you with an issue as fast and as reliable as we can! All of our machines are delivered 100% fully assembled ready to go. We don’t want the customer having the hassle and frustration of assembling a machine before they can use it. You wont get that service off the internet! Rutherford Fitness Hire & Sales are Your Fitness Hire Specialists.

What will exercise do for me?

Exercise regulates your weight. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases. It reduces the risk of heart disease, developing diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercise improves your mood and can help anxiety and depression. It improves your energy levels. It boosts bone mass. Helps back pain. With blood and oxygen circulating round your body, you’ll feel better, look better and be much more healthy. And this is just the beginning… How do I know what equipment is best for me? We will have an in-depth conversation with you to identify exactly what will suit best. Our knowledge and experience identify precisely what will get the optimal results for you. We know the important questions to ask! Everyone has different needs and we want you to get the best out of your equipment. Why use fitness equipment at home rather than going to the gym? Convenience! You’re more likely to exercise if it’s easy….and what could be easier than the equipment ready to use at any time that suits you? You don’t even have to get dressed up.

Can I buy my machine outright

You can hire and then buy from us (we even refund some of the rental cost if you decide to buy your equipment: ‍

Buy within first 4 weeks = 100% of hire fees paid come off the purchase price.
Buy anytime up to 26 weeks = 50% of hire fees paid come off the purchase price.
Buy anytime after 26 weeks = 13 weeks maximum hire fees paid come off the purchase price and or by negotiation. ‍

We also have an in-house service department to keep machines in tip top shape. Unlike other companies, Rutherford Fitness Hire, do all our own servicing and maintenance so you won’t have an outside agent coming to your house.

What will be the best machine for me?

Depending on your exact needs we will have the right machine for you. Whether it’s for rehab, general fitness or weight management we can guide you in the right direction. We recommend if you have used a particular type of machine that you have enjoyed previously to stick with it, if you like walking on a treadmill then don’t change to an exercycle. If it’s specifically for rehab we can advise you on the best options. Talk to one of our experts today to help you make the right choice.
