Maintenance and Care for Fitness Equipment – Protect Your Investment for the Long Term
His workout was going as usual. Warm-up, then the typical interval program on the treadmill – focused, concentrated, in his rhythm. But that morning, something was different. After just a few minutes, he heard it: a faint squeak that grew louder with each step. At first, he ignored it, but the noise became more intrusive, disrupted his concentration, and made him uneasy. Was the treadmill broken? Had he done something wrong? Frustrated, he ended his workout early. Over the next few days, the situation worsened. The squeaking turned into a clearly audible scraping, the running belt felt rough, and the movement became uneven. His new treadmill from Tunturi seemed to be giving up. Only after researching online did he realize the problem: it wasn’t the equipment itself but a lack of care and maintenance. The running deck requires regular lubrication, otherwise the friction between the belt and the deck increases significantly – exactly what he was experiencing.
That same day, he ordered the recommended Teflon spray for treadmill maintenance. When it arrived a few days later, he was initially skeptical. Could he do it himself? Thanks to the 40-centimeter-long applicator tube, the process proved surprisingly easy. Lift the belt slightly with one hand, slide the long tube under the belt, spray briefly – that was all. No complicated disassembly, no difficult maneuvers. After just a few minutes of drying time, he ran a test. The result exceeded his expectations: the treadmill ran quietly, smoothly, and perfectly even. Today, maintenance and care have become part of his routine – a quick check and lubrication every few months keeps the treadmill running like new. Regular cleaning with the convenient wipes is now second nature. Clean handles, a well-maintained display, hygienic surfaces – the workout is simply more enjoyable. Do you want to keep your fitness equipment in top condition and fully enjoy every training session? Discover the practical maintenance and care products from Tunturi – for long-lasting performance, hygiene, and uninterrupted training enjoyment.
Why Regular Maintenance and Care Protects Your Fitness Equipment
Home fitness equipment is an investment in your health – and with proper care, it will reliably support you for many years of training. Treadmills, in particular, are subject to natural wear from friction between the running belt and deck. High-quality lubricants – such as Tunturi T-Lube Teflon Spray – are specifically designed for this maintenance requirement. These grease- and silicone-free dry lubricants repel dirt, dust, and water, ensuring the deck is optimally protected. As a rule of thumb, inspect and maintain your treadmill approximately every 6–8 months, or after around 300 hours of use for intensive or professional training. A quick check under the belt with your finger is sufficient: does it feel completely dry? If so, it’s time to lubricate. This ensures your treadmill continues to run quietly, smoothly, and reliably over the long term.
Clean Equipment, Hygienic Training – Easy Cleaning
In addition to lubrication and maintenance, regular cleaning is crucial for the longevity and hygiene of your fitness equipment. Sweat, dust, and dirt accumulate on surfaces over time and can damage the material. Specialized cleaning products – such as Tunturi cleaning wipes – provide a practical solution: high-quality wipes with natural ingredients clean surfaces thoroughly and gently, without streaks or sticky residues. These products are suitable for all fitness equipment: treadmills, exercise bikes, ellipticals, or rowers. The easy handling makes cleaning a quick routine that can be effortlessly integrated into your training schedule.
