What it covers

The gym equipment checks.

How often: weekly

Cardio machines

  • Check treadmill belt tracking and tension
  • Clean under treadmills and lubricate the deck as the manual says
  • Test emergency stop clips and buttons
  • Check bike and rower pedals, straps and seats
  • Check power cords and display consoles

Strength equipment

  • Inspect cables and pulleys for fraying
  • Check pins, bolts and adjustment knobs
  • Check upholstery for tears
  • Check the bench and rack anchor bolts

These are common checks to start from. Your machine’s manual and the safety rules for your site come first, so add or change checks to match them.

From the field

Tips for a better check.

  • Test the emergency stop on every treadmill each week. It is the check that matters most.
  • Replace a frayed cable the same day, and put a sign on the machine until then.
  • Write the machine number on each note, so the right unit gets fixed.

Clean and look over machines daily, do a full floor check weekly, and book a technician service every few months, or as the manufacturer says. Busy machines such as treadmills often need belt and deck checks more often than the rest.
