Overview
Pearson Manufacturing supports fitness brands and OEMs with durable, attractive, and consistent equipment builds. Through our hybrid fulfillment model, we route your job to the best-fit process path — either at our Ontario facility or via vetted Canadian partners — while keeping QA, documentation, and communication under one roof.
Quick Specs
| Workstream | Best For | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prototype / Custom Rigs | One-offs, boutique concepts, pilot units | Fast | Quick-turn, iterative DFM, flexible finishing |
| Production Runs | Frames, racks, pulleys, accessories | Medium | Stable routings, jigs/fixtures, repeatability |
| Branded & Color-Matched | Retail/commercial aesthetics | Medium | RAL color matching, logo plates, packaging |
| Retrofits / Spares | Replacement arms, plates, guards | Fast | Reverse engineering + compatibility checks |
Capabilities We Provide Access To
- CNC tube cutting, coping, notching & multi-radius bending
- Manual & robotic MIG/TIG welding of steel, stainless, and aluminum
- CNC milling/turning for hubs, pivots, pulleys, and precision interfaces
- Sheet metal cutting/forming for guards, brackets, trays, and panels
- Powder coating with pretreatment; RAL/brand color matching & textures
- Laser marking/engraving, decals, custom nameplates & serials
- Turnkey sub-assembly: bearings, bushings, cables, pulleys, hardware
- Mechanical fit/load checks, torque validation, and packaging
DFM & Finishing Tips
- Use standard tube OD/WT and radii to reduce bending setup and scrap.
- Call out only critical-to-quality (CTQ) machined datums; allow fabrication tolerances elsewhere.
- Provide weld-bead keep-out zones for sliding/clearance interfaces and powder-coated mating faces.
- Specify thread masking and grounding points before powder coat to avoid rework.
- When possible, design for tab-and-slot or locating features to speed fixture time and improve repeatability.
- Share required load/torque test methods early (static vs. cyclic) to align fixtures and acceptance criteria.
We’ll review your model/drawing, finish/branding requirements, and assembly notes, then confirm achievable specs and routing (in-house or partner) before kickoff.

Fitness & Gym FAQs
Is the equipment manufactured in-house?
We operate a hybrid fulfillment model. Some builds are produced in our Ontario facility; others are routed through vetted Canadian partners. Either way, Pearson manages quoting, QA, finishing, assembly, and logistics end-to-end.
Can you match our brand color and finish?
Yes. We support RAL and branded finishes (matte, gloss, texture) and can coordinate decals, plates, and engraving. Provide your finish specs and samples if available.
What tolerances are realistic for frames vs. machined parts?
Typical fabrication tolerances are ±0.25–0.50 mm on cut/bend features; machined interfaces can hold ±0.02–0.10 mm. We’ll confirm after reviewing your model and drawing.
Do you provide assembly and load testing?
Absolutely. We can perform sub-assembly, torque checks, cable routing, and load/fit tests to your acceptance criteria.
How do I scope my RFQ?
Share CAD + PDF with CTQs, materials, finish (RAL/texture), assembly notes, packaging needs, and volumes/schedule. Start your fitness equipment quote — include material specs, finish (RAL/texture), assembly notes, volumes, and timeline.
