Proper maintenance is vital for gym gear longevity, say fitness equipment technicians. Dumbbells need regular wiping to prevent rust, especially metal parts. Spin bike chains require monthly lubrication to avoid squeaking and wear. Resistance bands should be checked for cracks before use. Gym staff are advised to inspect cable machines’ pulleys weekly for fraying. Neglecting upkeep risks equipment failure and user injuries. Many gyms now schedule biweekly maintenance sessions to ensure safety.
