How Your Fitness Center Can Save Long Term Expenses Through Preventative Maintenance
 
Prevention is the key to extended Use of Fitness Equipment
 
You know the old saying “an ounce of prevention goes a long way” well the saying is true when you consider most gym owners are oblivious to the condition of the fitness equipment until the gym user reports that its not working or one of the trainers realizes that smoke is coming from the motor. While it’s understandable that the owner cannot monitor all the equipment all the time it goes to show that it only make sense to use prevention to keep the equipment in good working order for the members benefit, to prevent liability issues and to reduce overall cost of the equipments downtime. Downtime deters new members from joining, upsets current members, and more importantly cost more to have a service technician make a special rush trip to analyze the problem, order parts and get the equipment back in working order.
 
A Routine Maintenance Program For Every Type of Facility
 
Regardless of what type of fitness facility you operate there is a preventative maintenance agreement that will work for you. This really depends on what type of volume of membership you have and usage of the fitness equipment. Your authorized service technician can help you at the time of the initial PM quote to determine how often the service calls should be scheduled. PM agreements can be set up monthly for high traffic facilities like large scale health clubs, YMCA’s, school athletic centers or quarterly or semiannually for smaller facilities like personal trainer studios, corporate gyms, and apartments and condominium fitness centers.
 
Long term Planning Equates to Long Term Savings
 
Proper planning will reduce the cost associated with downtime, injuries that can result in enormous liability lawsuits. When you overlook a plan for maintaining the fitness equipment you deplete the profits and selling points of the facility. You can save a tremendous amount of money by extending the life of the gym equipment and taking full advantage of the warranties for parts and labor before they expire. Once expired your left not only paying service but also the parts, labor and neglect expense. This often results in being forced to replace the equipment well before you should have to. Preventative maintenance should not be overlooked and can save you more money by implementing it early in the life of your fitness facility.
