The aim of all preventative maintenance services is to keep a system operating as effectively as it can, for as long as it can. It’s no secret that a well cared for machine lasts far longer than one that does not receive routine service.
Each day, you utilize preventative measures to ensure that your exercise equipment is kept in good health. You wipe down its surfaces after use. You clean the areas around your machine. You listen for odd noises, and feel for any strange movements your equipment may make. You might even lubricate and adjust your own treadmill.
Professional preventative maintenance, however, puts our extensive experience to work for you.
The average person has utilized less than 100 different pieces of fitness equipment in their lifetime – their local gym, hotel workout areas, their personal equipment. A busy technician will often come into contact with 300 different machines each week.
The breaker that continually trips when your treadmill is in use may leave you scratching your head, and the line of questioning we usually follow with can appear, at first, to be equally bewildering. Does this occur immediately, or after a certain amount of time? Are any errors present on the console? Have you recently had any electrical work done on your home? Does this only happen at a particular time of day? Are you alone when this occurs or are other members of your household around when the breaker trips? Has the machine recently been relocated? Knowing the right questions to ask leads to a prompt diagnosis, and experience leads to asking the right questions. The treadmill may only need cleaning and lubrication. The belt and deck might be scheduled for replacement. The MCB, console, or drive motor may be failing. Another appliance could be drawing too much power at the same time, or a GFCI may have recently been installed or utilized.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Professional preventative maintenance goes well beyond a thorough cleaning and proper lubrication. A trained technician will be able to foresee upcoming issues, provide an intensive examination of all systems (we get a free workout in the process), and of course, we will ask the questions that need to asked.

Proactive prevention is far less costly than reactive repair. No one wants to be without their favorite machine, and professional preventative maintenance can help keep your equipment (and you) running at peak performance for years to come.
