Our Gym Equipment Repair Process
When something breaks, you do not want guesswork. You want to know what will happen next. Our process is designed to be clear from the moment you contact us so you know what to expect and when.
When you reach out to Fitness Machine Technicians of Rochester, NY, we gather key details such as equipment type, brand, model, symptoms, and where the machine is located in your facility or home. We then schedule a visit that fits as closely as possible with your operating hours. You know in advance who is coming and when they are expected to arrive.
During the visit, our technician inspects the machine, runs tests, and confirms the source of the issue. We then explain our findings in plain language and discuss repair options. When the repair can be completed with materials on hand, we typically proceed once you approve. If parts are required, we discuss time frames and next steps so there are no surprises.
After the work is completed, we test the equipment through its full range of motion and check key safety points. We also review what was done and answer your questions before we leave. Our goal is for you to feel confident that the job was handled carefully and that you know how to reach us if anything changes.
To get the most from your visit, it helps if you can:
Note any error codes or messages that appear on the console
Describe when the problem started and what users noticed
Clear enough space around the machine for safe access
Identify any other units with similar issues so we can check them as well
Equipment We Repair & Maintain
Every facility has a different mix of machines, and many homeowners also invest in treadmills or bikes for their own gyms. We work with a wide variety of commercial grade and residential fitness equipment so you can call one team for most of your needs.
On the cardio side, we handle treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, spin bikes, rowers, stair climbers, and similar machines. Common issues include belt slippage, noisy rollers, unresponsive consoles, speed or incline problems, resistance that feels uneven, and machines that will not start at all. We approach each of these issues with step by step diagnostics, not trial and error.
For strength equipment, we work with selectorized weight stacks, cable machines, plate loaded units, benches, smith machines, and functional trainers. Problems can include frayed cables, sticky weight stacks, worn pulleys, loose frames, and alignment issues that affect user safety. When we perform fitness equipment maintenance, we look for early signs of those problems so they can be corrected before a cable fails or a machine goes out of service.
Some typical exercise equipment repair situations we address include:
Cardio machines that shut down mid workout or display error codes
Ellipticals and bikes that develop squeaks, clunks, or vibration during use
Weight machines with cables that stick, jump, or show visible wear
Benches and frames that have loosened over time and need adjustment
If you are unsure whether we can handle a specific product, our team can discuss the brand and model with you. In many cases, exercise equipment repair for both commercial and home grade machines is possible, especially when issues are identified early.
Maintenance Plans For Rochester Facilities
Waiting until a machine fails often leads to more downtime and higher costs. Many owners and managers in Rochester schedule routine service visits so equipment stays cleaner, safer, and more reliable over time. Our maintenance plans are flexible so they can align with how hard your machines work throughout the year.
During a typical maintenance visit, our team inspects key components, checks cables and belts, tightens hardware, lubricates moving parts where the manufacturer allows, and looks for wear that could lead to larger failures. We also test machines under load to catch issues users might not report right away. This type of fitness equipment maintenance can be especially helpful in busy gyms and shared fitness rooms.
Facilities in Rochester often see heavier indoor equipment use during colder months when outdoor exercise is less appealing. That added usage can accelerate wear on treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. By planning regular visits, you can adjust maintenance frequency to match these seasonal patterns. Our goal is to help you plan work so it fits budgets and reduces surprise outages.
For some sites, quarterly service makes sense. Others with lighter traffic might schedule semiannual checks. We talk through your equipment list, age of machines, and member volume before recommending a plan. This approach to fitness equipment maintenance Rochester clients use allows you to balance cost with the level of protection you want for your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of gym equipment can you repair?
We work with a wide range of commercial and residential fitness equipment, including treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, rowers, stair machines, and many types of strength units. If you share the brand and model, our team can usually confirm whether service is available for your specific machines.
Do you work with both commercial gyms and home gyms?
Yes, we support commercial gyms, apartment and condo fitness rooms, corporate wellness spaces, schools, and home gyms in and around Rochester. The process is similar for both, and we adjust scheduling and visit length to fit each environment so disruption stays as low as practical.
How quickly can your team come out for a repair?
Response time depends on your location, schedule, and current demand, but we work to offer prompt visits, especially when multiple machines are down. When you contact us, we provide available time windows and keep you updated if anything changes, so you know when to expect a technician.
How do you price fitness equipment repairs?
Pricing typically reflects the time needed on site plus any parts required. Before moving forward, we explain our findings and discuss expected costs so you can decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Our aim is to give you clear information, not surprise invoices.
How often should my equipment receive maintenance?
Frequency depends on usage, equipment type, and environment. Busy gyms often benefit from quarterly service, while smaller or lower traffic spaces may do well with visits once or twice a year. We review your situation and suggest a schedule that supports reliable operation over time.

Professional Services for Any Facility and Equipment Type
Fitness Machine Technicians of Rochester, NY serves the full range of fitness equipment clients across Rochester. Commercial operators trust us for treadmill repair, exercise equipment repair, and preventive maintenance across health clubs, hotels, apartment complexes, universities, and corporate fitness centers. Residential homeowners rely on us for the same certified standard of service when home gym equipment needs attention.
Whether you have a home gym or manage a facility, you’ll receive the same quality of work. Your certified technician arrives prepared, performs a thorough diagnosis, documents the service, and completes the job to manufacturer specifications before leaving your facility.
Our certified technicians provide clear communication from the time you book through the moment the job is complete. Every service is documented with a detailed work order and photos, and our technicians perform a safety check and apply lubricant if necessary before the visit is closed.
The Case for Planned Maintenance
A reactive approach to fitness equipment service means calling for repair after something fails. A planned approach means your certified technician has already identified and addressed the conditions that cause failure. The cost difference between the two is significant, and the operational impact on a commercial facility is even greater. Preventive maintenance keeps your equipment available, your users safe, and your repair budget predictable.
What to Expect from Every Visit
Our certified technicians arrive in neat, clearly branded gear, diagnose issues accurately,
and complete repairs to manufacturer specifications. Once your service is complete,
they perform a safety check, disinfect high-touch areas, and apply lubricant if necessary.
The Real Cost of Skipping Preventive Maintenance
Deferred maintenance does not eliminate cost. It shifts it toward a more expensive
and disruptive outcome. Our certified technicians deliver preventive maintenance
programs for commercial and residential clients, tailoring service schedules to actual
equipment usage rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Regular inspections identify
worn components, belt tension issues, and lubrication needs before they pull a machine
out of service.
Consistent Standards Across Every Market We Serve
Independent repair providers operate without a shared training framework. Fitness Machine Technicians of Rochester, NY
does not. Every certified technician in our national network trains to the same requirements,
follows the same service documentation standards, and is held to the same performance
benchmarks. The service you receive in Rochester reflects the same accountability
built into every location across our system.

I Highly Recommend FMT
I have a TRUE recumbent bike that stopped working. A quick text to FMT with my serial number and I was advised they would order the part and be out the next week. Job was completed today in less than half an hour. Price was more than reasonable (much less than I had expected) and now my bike works again. Thanks, Mike! I highly recommend FMT to repair your fitness equipment and I will definitely use them again if necessary.
Meljan Fran
Jake was incredible
I just got my treadmill repaired by a wonderful guy named Jake. He drove all the way from Rochester to Syracuse during a winter advisory to make it to my appointment and was extremely kind and helpful. He walked me through what the issue was and how he was fixing it and even went above and beyond to help me get the treadmill level in my crooked porch. He let me try it out before he left to make sure everything was working great and even gave me a lot of great tips on how to keep it maintained. Extremely knowledgeable; I was very impressed by his professionalism and great work. All done pretty fast too. I can’t express how grateful I am to finally use this treadmill and get back on my fitness journey in my home. Jake was incredible. Thank you, Jake!

Great service and completely fixed the failed assembly from NordicTrack. After dealing unsuccessfully with NordicTrack for hours these guys fixed my elliptical and it works great! Reasonable price as well. Thanks!
Brett Bell
This company and their service is excellent!
This company and their service is excellent! I have a treadmill that needed repair; the business I bought the treadmill from sent the techs from this business to take care of it. Due to waiting for parts to be shipped from the manufacturer, the process took approximately 1 year. If the manufacturer had listened to the tech (Rick) in the first place, it would have been resolved quicker. Their techs have extensive knowledge with everything involved with fitness equipment. Their customer service is excellent as well; they kept in touch and sent their techs out in a very timely manner. I recommend them highly.
Tracy Kenney

We Highly Recommend FMT
We had moved our correctly disassembled Precor 223 up from North Carolina in late February. It was carefully and excellently reassembled today by Jake Z from FMT. Jake needed to make an adjustment or two, as the move had caused very minor problems. He also helped us position the treadmill on its mat in our apartment. We were totally pleased with his work and with FMT's Fred Burghardt in arranging a convenient time to do the work. We are very pleased and highly recommend FMT!
Barney Rickenbacker
Jake was super helpful and professional
Jake was super helpful and professional, an excellent diagnostician. Fred was responsive with communication above and beyond. Go with FMS, you won't be sorry!
Steve Harrow
Highly recommended!
They breathed new life into my old elliptical (that I love and use daily) for far less than a good used machine would have cost. Friendly, professional, on-time, quick service at a reasonable cost - what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!
Andy Vaughan
Very positive experience
Fitness Machine replaced my treadmill belt. Representative did an excellent job and my treadmill is working great once again.
He was courteous, friendly, and very professional.
He recommended oiling the belt every 6 months.
I was never given this advice from the store I purchased the machine from. I will definitely use their service in the future.
Very positive experience.

Reached out to FMT late in the evening to help me with an issue reinstalling the console on my NordicTrack Commercial 2450.

In the event we need service again, I’ll definitely be reaching back out.

Honestly the Best Choice
I ran into a calibration issue with my treadmill. Literally texted them at 10 a.m.; by 9 a.m. I had Fred letting me know Jake will be here today! Amazing! Jake arrived right within the time frame he gave and was super friendly. He told me everything that he was doing and things that needed to be done. Up front and honest. He even chuckled as he fixed my treadmill as my puppers inspected his bag for treats! These reviews were spot on! Honestly the best choice for your exercise equipment needs! Thank you!
Sara Benincasa

Nancy Rourke
I Would Highly Recommend This Service
I want to thank Jake for a great experience with my treadmill. Jake was able to put this massive apparatus together effortlessly. He was quite knowledgeable, friendly, professional and efficient. He gave me extra information and suggestions that were the extra touches I really appreciate. The treadmill is massive and had to be brought into another room. He was very neat and tidy. He was extremely polite and comforting. He showed me how to maintain my investment and many options for other services available for my treadmill’s care, but also how I can do it myself. I would highly recommend this service and ask for Jake!! Thank you - Michelle
Michelle LaRussa-Trott
Jake did a fabulous job
Jake did a fabulous job repairing a minor issue with our NordicTrack elliptical and was super kind! It was very easy to schedule an appointment and the repair was timely. Will happily call if we ever need services in the future.
Megan Humphreys
A+ service
My experience with Fitness Machine Technicians was superb. Jake is the technician who serviced our treadmill, and was an open book of honesty from the minute he came out to diagnose the issue with our machine. I had been provided diagnoses over the phone from other local services, including the location from where we bought the machine, that only accounted for completely replacing our console. We were told the costs would run anywhere from $800-$1200.
The main office with Fitness Machine Technicians was prompt to schedule our service call. Jake provided me with a few options, starting with the replacement of our display only, which he felt was likely the issue. He told me it was possible that the console might need also to be replaced; however, he would start with just the display as it was only a $300 fix. He was spot-on.
A+ service. Will be utilizing them for all of our treadmill upkeep in the future.
J Aris
Highly recommend

Joann Moluf
I would highly recommend these professionals
My NordicTrack treadmill needed repair and service. I called FMT and spoke to the owner, Fred Burghardt, to make an appointment. He sent his technician, Jake, who did an extensive review. Parts had to be ordered, and another appointment was scheduled. Jake was punctual, friendly, and very polite. The service was great, the pricing in my opinion was reasonable. I would highly recommend these professionals in any of your fitness equipment repair.
Marcia Guzielek
So grateful for the guys at Fitness Tech
I didn’t want to give up on my older treadmill, so I called Fitness Machine Techs, and Jake came out and was able to give it a tune-up and recommended a few updates to keep it running like new. I was able to get a new motor covered by lifetime warranty and ordered a few new belts. This cost less than a new machine and it looks and sounds brand new. So grateful for the guys at Fitness Tech. ❤️
Andrea Zurlo
Great service from start to finish.
We booked a service for our Sole treadmill due to a squeaking noise. Setting the appointment was easy and fast. The technician that came out (Jake) was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us some pointers for oiling it. Great service from start to finish.
Richard Hand
Very friendly, professional, and fast
Scheduled an appointment to have our treadmill moved from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor of our home. Two technicians arrived, moved, and reassembled the treadmill in under an hour. Very friendly, professional, and fast - will reach out to them again!
