Rutherford Fitness Canterbury is a fitness equipment hire and sales business at 3C Birmingham Drive in Middleton, Christchurch. The website says it is locally owned and run by Glen and Anthony, and serves customers across Canterbury and the southern regions. The business says it has been operating for over 25 years and is the only dedicated hire fitness company in New Zealand. It hires, sells and rents to own treadmills, exercycles, cross-trainers, rowers, air bikes, spin bikes, ski ergs and bike ergs. The website says there are no deposits or bond payments, and that machines are delivered fully assembled. A hired machine can be returned if it is not used or liked. If a customer buys the machine after hiring it, some of the hire money is taken off the price, and interest-free terms are available.
Reviewers mention rower and static bike hire most often, along with treadmill and air bike rental. One customer bought an air bike and says it is sturdy and runs smoothly. Another hires a treadmill and spin bike, uses them daily, and praises the customer service. Reviewers say the booking, delivery and collection at the end of the hire period went smoothly, and one says the cost is affordable.
