Have you ever forgotten to get an oil change for your vehicle after too many miles, or overlooked swapping the filter in your HVAC system after too many months? A sense of panic and dread can hit hard once you remember these slip-ups, and realize how much potential damage may cost you. The same consideration should be given to your exercise equipment, especially heavily used items, to avoid costly repairs down the line. Luckily, Fitness Machine Technicians can set you up with a regular maintenance and cleaning package, taking one more thing for you to remember off your plate.
Check out these photos of some damaged spin bikes from jobs we completed throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area. They were in poor condition due to lack of maintenance and upkeep, but still able to be revived by our skilled techs.
Bikes of all kinds have a tendency to collect more sweat and dust than most equipment, and moving parts can dry out or become rutted with use, requiring lubrication to run smoothly again. Brake pads and sensors wear out over time and should be adjusted or changed to ensure the bike is working safely and effectively. Chains and bands can rust or stretch out, and eventually a band can stretch past its limit and break. Spin bikes usually have a lifespan of 3 to 10 years depending on maintenance, brand and model—and that regular maintenance over the years makes all the difference!
From adept cyclists to beginner spinners, our techs want your machine to perform at its best so that you can have the most effective work out. Cycling and spin machines are an extension of fitness performance, and it is our goal to keep them as healthy as you’re attempting to keep yourself through exercise.
It may not be in the forefront of your mind until it’s too late, but that treadmill or weight bench could probably use a tune-up. Our expert techs at Fitness Machine Technicians want to keep you safe with whatever equipment you favor—from ellipticals and weight racks, to treadmills and more—while saving you time, money and, most importantly, from injuries.
