Is your treadmill slipping, squeaking, drifting to one side or showing an error code? Prime Fitness services and repairs treadmills across Melbourne. We come to your home or gym, find the problem and get the machine running properly again.
We maintain our own fleet of hire treadmills, so servicing treadmills is something we do every week. A regular service keeps the belt and deck from wearing out early, protects the motor and makes the treadmill quieter and safer to use.
Or call 0489 954 167.
What a Treadmill Service Includes
- Belt and deck inspection – checking for wear, fraying and glazing
- Belt lubrication – the most commonly skipped job, and the main cause of worn decks and overheated motors
- Belt tension and tracking – so the belt runs centred and does not slip under foot
- Motor compartment clean – removing the dust and lint that builds up around the motor and control board
- Drive belt and roller check
- Incline, speed and safety key test
- Frame, bolts and folding mechanism check
- A report on anything that needs attention, before any further work is done
Treadmill Problems We Repair
- Belt slipping, hesitating or stopping when you step on it
- Belt drifting to one side or rubbing on the frame
- Squeaking, grinding, thumping or burning smells
- Treadmill not turning on, or cutting out mid-run
- Error codes on the console
- Incline not working
- Speed surging or not matching the display
- Worn running belts and decks
How Often Should a Treadmill Be Serviced?
We recommend having your treadmill serviced every 3 months. It is the same schedule we keep for our own hire treadmills, and it is the best way to keep a treadmill safe and get the longest possible life out of it. A belt left to run dry without maintenance is one of the most common causes of a worn deck and a burnt-out motor. Regular servicing matters most for treadmills used daily or by several people, and for machines in gyms, PT studios, apartment buildings and workplaces.
You do not have to wait for a scheduled service either. If the belt feels loose or slips, the machine is getting louder, or it has been sitting unused for a while, book a service and we will sort it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a treadmill service cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the treadmill and where you are. Contact us with your brand, model and suburb and we will give you a price.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. Servicing and most repairs are done on site at your home or business.
How do I know if my treadmill needs a service?
Common signs are a belt that slips or hesitates, a belt that drifts to one side, new noises, a hot or burning smell, or a machine that has not been serviced in the last 3 months.
Is it worth repairing an old treadmill?
Often it is. Many faults come down to a dry or worn belt, which costs far less than a new machine. If a repair does not make sense, we will tell you.
Can you replace a treadmill belt?
Yes. We replace worn running belts and can advise if the deck needs replacing at the same time.
Do you service treadmills in gyms and apartment buildings?
Yes. Contact us about regular scheduled maintenance for commercial and shared gyms.
