Things we've found in Fitness Equipment

Aug 02, 2020

Whether you are a residential home or commercial facility, ignoring regular maintenance on your fitness equipment will eventually cause problems. One thing that we find is a lack of understanding around the value of equipment maintenance. The most common thing we hear is “I didn’t know I had to do that!” For example, dust can form a film on the unit and create problems. We always recommend a thorough dusting weekly to maintain equipment.

It’s important to have your unit vacuumed regularly under the motor cover. It will help with heat and allow electronics to open properly. While this should be performed by a professional, if you are going to do this yourself, you must remember that when servicing any piece of equipment that requires power, unplug the unit and wait at least five minutes before working on it.

Below are the things mostly we found in cardio equipment:

1. Small toys
2. Headphones
3. Cellophanes/wrappers
4. Credit cards
5. Dead mice/insects
6. IDs
7. Bugs, and . . .
8. A wedding ring!

 

Obviously, none of these items are good for proper functioning of your machine and some of them are items you probably have been looking for. Always keep your equipment clean and in good shape. If you hear noises, do not continue using the unit.
