Franchisees who buy together save 50%. Five gym owners in Texas formed a buying co-op. They pooled a $280,000 order for 140 machines.
Ntaifitness price: $2,000/unit. Individual price: $2,800/unit. They saved $112,000—enough to open a sixth location. This is the power of wholesale.
MOQ and Tier Pricing: The More You Buy, The Less You Pay
Ntaifitness MOQ is 1 machine (we'll sell a single treadmill). But pricing tiers start at 10 units. Here's the breakdown:
| Quantity | Discount off MSRP | Example: Treadmill | Total Savings (20 units) |
|---|
| 1-9 | 0% | $3,200 | $0 |
| 10-19 | 12% | $2,816 | $7,680 |
| 20-49 | 18% | $2,624 | $15,360 |
| 50-99 | 25% | $2,400 | $32,000 |
| 100+ | 32% | $2,176 | $60,480 |
EXCLUSIVE TIP: The Co-Op Buying Loophole
You don't need to own multiple gyms. Partner with 3-4 other owners and place one order. Ntaifitness ships to one location (lowest cost), you distribute locally.
We've seen franchisees in same city do this—save 25% and split delivery cost. Legal? Yes. Smart? Absolutely. We even introduce buyers to each other if they're non-competing markets.
Container Optimization: The Math That Maximizes Profit
A 40ft container holds 35-45 machines depending on mix. You want it full—you're paying $3,800-$5,200 for shipping whether it's 50% or 100% full.
Here's the optimal mix for max profit:
High-Density Packing Strategy
Load treadmills first (they're heaviest and longest). Place ellipticals on top (lighter). Stack strength machines vertically (remove weight stacks).
Fit small items (bikes, accessories) in gaps. Ntaifitness provides 3D loading diagrams. Our clients average 42 machines/container vs. industry 35. That's 20% more equipment for same shipping cost.
| Machine Type | Per Container | Weight | Packing Style |
|---|
| Treadmill | 8 | 350 lbs ea | Floor, aligned |
| Elliptical | 8 | 250 lbs ea | Stack on treadmills |
| Strength Station | 12 | 400 lbs ea | Vertical, no stacks |
| Bikes | 10 | 120 lbs ea | Fill gaps |
| TOTAL | 38 | ~18,000 lbs | Full container |
