Maintenance Schedule

Looking after your gym equipment is one the critical things to do to prolong its life and keep it in good working order. Having regular machine servicing significantly reduces the effects of faulty machines as they ensure that parts are still in good working order. Cardio equipment and strength machines require weekly, quartely, and semi annual tasks to keep it in proper maintenance.

Nothing is more frustrating for gym members than equipment that is out of order. Below we have a checklist for each of the equipment to help you do maintenance.
