I read your blog where you said all treadmills need regular maintenance, but my treadmill owner’s manual says its maintenance free?

Yes, it will require some maintenance or repairs at some point. They all need occasional cleaning and moving parts in particular wear out on time. A regular maintenance will keep parts from wearing out prematurely and will keep the treadmill operating more quietly and efficiently.

What If I need Parts?

If your treadmill needs parts to complete the repair, we will try to repair it using parts from our truck stock. If we do not have the part available, we will order the part for you and complete the repair on the second trip.
Please note: The part is not included in our flat rate price and is paid for separately by customer. The second trip is also charged at 1/2 price.

HOW NOT TO USE A TRE

HOW NOT TO USE A TREADMILL http://htxt.it/skIp

Hi, I think you are worth trying. I am prepared to pay reasonable costs for the right advice. I am in UK and I have two PRO FIT 300P treadmills both faulty. PRO FIT used to be based in UTAH but they have vanished! I need wiring info (incl.colours). Thanks

Unfortunately we have no information on PRO FIT treadmills, since Techmotion don’t service this brand. You can find a list of brands we service at http://www.techmotionusa.com/aboutus.html
If that company went out of business, you may have to replace your equipment.

3 easy things to do to keep your treadmill running:

1) Treadmills attract dust so make sure your treadmill is covered or folded up when not in use. This will lengthen the life of your walking belt as it is free from dust and grime.
2) We recommend lubricating your walking belt every 6 months. If its used every day, keep a log and lubricate every 500 miles.
3) Do not leave your treadmill plugged in for extended periods. This can save your unit if your house ever gets struck by lightning or your basement ever gets flooded. Also, this can burn out your motor control PCB on some units.

Ask me anything fitness related!

Why does the belt need lubrication?

First, the walking belt does need to be lubricated due to a buildup of friction. A new walking belt is well lubricated and provides little friction allowing the drive motor to work normally. If your walking belt loses its lubrication, this creates more friction and puts stress on the motor and creating a domino effect.

cleaned treadmill of all dust, will run approximately 3 - 4 minutes and then shut down, any suggestions?

If your treadmill is shutting down, meaning the power is cutting off you may be looking at a high current draw. When the unit reaches the maximum current draw it usually shuts down. This is mostly caused by an overload.

I am considering buying some exercise equipment. Is the elliptical better or should I go with the treadmill?

Ellipticals are way better. You gett a more active workout and you burn more calories - kind of like swimming.

Please call us if you do need to get it assembled.

My walking belt is slipping and i tightened the screws in the back but that didnt help. Any ideas?

Your walking belt can seem to slip for up to 4 different reasons.
1) You may have an electrical problem.
2) You may have a loose walking belt.
3)You may have problems with the drive pulley system.
4) Your drive belt may be faulty.

Unless you're familiar with how to check these areas, it may be best to get a service technician.

Yes. The gyms are designed to make money. You losing weight is a secondary importance to some trainers. Your other option is to get a personal trainer that will come to your residence and give you personal attention.
