About Orbit4
The Commercial Fitness Product Cycle / Orbit4
About us
Orbit4 is a FitTech brand in the commercial fitness industry offering a comprehensive software solution to help gym operators manage their commercial fitness assets. The company has developed a broad portfolio of solutions that have the potential to revolutionise the way fitness owners manage their club operations. Orbit4’s vision is to improve the way fitness facilities can use real-time data to create financial efficiencies and help operators to execute their digital strategy toward operational excellence.

Company headquarters are in the UK. They also have offices across America and Europe. Since 2015 they have been developing and implementing innovative solutions for the fitness industry.

We understand that maximising return on investment in fitness equipment has never been more important. Not just to optimise member experience, but for simplifying club operations and enhancing enterprise club and franchise value for owners.

case study: Everlast Gyms
"As an icon of both training and fitness equipment Everlast promise the best modern facilities at the lowest price possible, empowering as many people as possible to discover that ‘Greatness is Within.’ With 70+ locations and still exciting expansion plans ahead it's important to work with good partners who can support us. Working with the Orbit4 platform over the past 12 months has made day to day processes streamlined and efficient, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Orbit4 in the future."
case study: Let's Go Fitness
"I highly recommend WeBuyGymEquipment as a very professional partner for dealing with second-hand gym equipment. We needed a quick turnaround on this project, they gave us a price on our equipment within 48 hours, once we accepted the offer, they kept continuous communication until the completion of the project. The collection dates and payment terms where exactly as agreed."

case study:
"Orbit4 really helped our company during the toughest time. Mike and his platform helped us maximize the financial return for our used assets when we had to close the club. It was essential to get the best price so that we could re-invest back into the other clubs within our group. I would recommend them to all gym operators in the US and beyond."
