Why Homeowners & Fitness Facilities Trust Gym Guards

A treadmill isn’t just another appliance. It’s part of your daily routine, your health goals, and an investment in yourself.

Gym Guards is a locally owned business built on a shared passion for solving problems and keeping things running the way they were designed to. Our expertise began with a unique combination of mechanical and engineering backgrounds, giving us a deeper understanding of how fitness equipment works—and why it fails.

Today, with 15+ years of experience, 5,000+ service calls completed, and 3,500+ satisfied customers, we’re trusted by homeowners and local businesses alike to keep their fitness equipment performing at its best.

We don’t just repair machines when they break. We help our customers understand how to properly care for their equipment, prevent unnecessary wear, and extend its lifespan. Too often, high-quality treadmills and ellipticals end up in landfills after only a few years because of avoidable maintenance issues. We believe equipment built to last should stay in service for as long as possible.

That’s why everything we do is focused on protecting your investment, supporting your fitness journey, and reducing unnecessary waste—one machine at a time.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

I had a wonderful experience from my initial inquiry to the service completion. Mickey was super responsive and helpful with assessing my initial service needs. Tim was able to fix my treadmill and get it primed for running smoothly and without a hitch. He advised me how to care for my treadmill between uses to keep it in the best condition possible. 10/10. Thank you!

My newer Precore treadmill needed repair and It took me a minute to find someone who would actually come to my home and preform a diagnostic. My fifth phone call over a week was to Gym Guards. They came out the same day. These guys are great! Thank you!

Mickey showed up when he was supposed to and was super thorough with checking our elliptical. Since first contacting and throughout the whole process everyone was very professional and kind. Mickey made the machine look and feel brand new after maintenence ! We will definitely hire again if we need it fixed in the future 🙂

From the call for an appointment, to the service itself, five stars all around! NordicTrack told us it would cost $650 for a new computer system. Tim showed up in the designated time frame and fixed that bad boy! It was a mere $189 for the service call. Well worth the time and money to get our treadmill back up and running.

We had just moved and our  Treadmill was not handled well. The movers put it back together askew. The walking pad was not aligned properly with the console. Tim came and put it together properly and also did the maintenance. A cup holder was broken and he even took the effort to repair it rather than just tell us to dump it and replace it!!! Such character and spirit is hard to find. I am so glad that we have met. The integrity and work ethic is exemplary.

Gym Guards did an exceptional service fixing my elliptical. Their pricing was very reasonable. The technician took extra time to explain what was done and left the place very clean. I would highly recommend Gym Guards for any projects in the future.
