  • Identify Items for Donation: Consider donating or selling equipment you no longer use to lighten your load.
  • Make a checklist of your equipment
  • Inspect for any damage or wear
  • Decide on items to keep, donate, or sell

Now that you have assessed your equipment, it's time to pack. Different types of equipment require different packing techniques to ensure safety.

Disassemble cardio machines like treadmills or ellipticals as per the manufacturer's instructions and pack components separately.
