Certified Cardio & Strength Equipment Service for Essex, MD Homes & Facilities
Fitness Machine Technicians of Baltimore, MD brings certified fitness equipment repair to Essex, Maryland, covering everything from a single treadmill in a home gym to a full floor of commercial machines in an apartment or senior living community fitness room. One team handles both cardio and strength equipment, so facility managers aren’t coordinating separate vendors for different machine types. We assess each piece of equipment on-site, explain what’s causing the problem, and walk through practical options before any work begins.
Essex is an unincorporated community in Baltimore County, and the mix of housing here, including apartment communities, senior living facilities, and single-family neighborhoods, means we serve a wide range of equipment environments. Whether you need a one-time fix or want to talk through longer-term service, that conversation can happen whenever it makes sense for you.
Our technicians work on the full range of machines found in home and commercial settings. On the cardio side, that includes treadmills, ellipticals, upright and recumbent bikes, and rowers. These machines take the most daily punishment, and issues like belt slipping, error codes, or uneven resistance don’t always have an obvious cause. We diagnose the root problem and explain what correcting it involves before moving forward.
Strength equipment gets the same attention. We service selectorized machines, plate-loaded equipment, cable stations, racks, and benches. Components like pulleys, cables, guide rods, and upholstery wear steadily in high-traffic facilities, often before anything visibly breaks. Catching that wear early can be less disruptive and less expensive than waiting for a failure.
If you’re moving equipment, we also handle disassembly before the move and reassembly at the destination, followed by a preventive maintenance and safety assessment so the machines can be ready to use from day one in the new space.
Exercise Equipment Repair for Every Facility Type in Essex
We work with standalone gyms, fitness studios, corporate wellness rooms, hotels, and apartment communities that rely on fitness amenities to attract and retain residents. Senior living communities in the Essex area commonly include on-site fitness centers as a standard resident amenity, and those rooms need the same consistent upkeep as any commercial gym floor. The Community College of Baltimore County’s Essex campus is also in the area, representing another setting where reliable equipment matters. Home gym clients get the same on-site service, and a single repair visit is a straightforward way to get a machine that’s been sitting unused back in rotation.
Preventive Maintenance That Fits Your Schedule
Scheduled maintenance can help reduce costs and disruption compared with reactive repairs. Our preventive maintenance visits group inspections and adjustments into planned appointments, so facilities can work service into their calendars rather than scrambling when something breaks.
Each visit covers:
Tightening bolts and hardware
Cleaning motors
Lubricating joints
Clearing dirt and dust that degrade performance over time
Maintenance plans are tailored to your needs and preferred level of service. If you’re not sure what frequency makes sense for your equipment volume and usage, that’s a conversation we can have after the first visit.
The Team Behind the Work
The Baltimore location is led by Rick and Lisa Maffezzoli. Rick spent close to 20 years as a gym owner and manager before moving into this role, which means he understands the difference between a repair that looks done and one that actually holds up under daily use. He also knows that a machine sitting out of service during peak hours isn’t just an inconvenience.
Our team coordinates visit times around your facility’s schedule, respects peak hours, and keeps communication straightforward. When a repair takes longer than expected, we give you a realistic picture of the timeline so you can manage members’ or residents’ expectations instead of being caught off guard.
Schedule Your Essex Fitness Equipment Service
Start with a one-time repair and decide later whether ongoing maintenance makes sense. There’s no obligation to commit to a plan before you’ve seen how the work is done. Call (443) 785-7109 or reach out through the contact form to book your visit with Fitness Machine Technicians of Baltimore, MD.

This fitness machine tech company is amazing
This fitness machine tech company is amazing. I own a small home gym. They come every year to do yearly maintenance on my equipment. They are always on time, friendly, and professional. Prices are fair and they do not try to get you to spend more money if it is not needed. Highly recommended!
Train Wellness
These folks are the real deal
My gym company has been using The Fitness Machine for equipment maintenance for about 6 months now, and I have to say that these folks are the real deal. Excellent communication, customer service, and exceptional quality of work. I cannot recommend them enough!
Shawn morris
You guys are the best!
Robert was the technician who serviced my SOLE treadmill today. He did a fabulous job and he also gave me several great tips on how to keep the machine in good condition. Equally important, he told me about things I should NOT do, such as putting oil under the mat. He also did a great job of vacuuming under the mat, which had accumulated a good deal of dog hair from my sweet little beagle. (She was a real shedder!)
I highly recommend Fitness Machine Technicians and Robert specifically. He did a great job which, to me, equates to peace of mind. I need this machine to keep working every day because it is my primary mode of physical therapy. Therefore, I hire Fitness Machine Technicians to do my treadmill maintenance every six months. It is worth every penny and then some! Thank you for a great job and outstanding service, Robert! As always, thank you, Emily, also for being such a great office manager and making sure that I am scheduled for a maintenance call every six months. You guys are the BEST!!!!
Karen E
He Was Absolutely Awesome
Dax came in the time frame that they quoted me, and he was absolutely awesome. He checked the whole bike over. The bike is only a year old, and he just did regular maintenance and checked the pedals for a clicking sound. He lubricated the seat position bar, handlebars, and neck of the bike. He said the bike was in great condition. I highly recommend Fitness Machine Technicians. I plan on having Dax do yearly maintenance on my bike! Thank you for your awesome service! 😊

He Went Above and Beyond
Dax did an excellent job! He was on time, quick, professional. In addition to fixing my elliptical machine, he lubricated my treadmill and Smith machine without me requesting it. He went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations of service. What a great experience that, unfortunately, doesn’t happen very often these days. It was greatly appreciated. Great job, Dax!
Dan Owings
His professionalism is outstanding.
Dax was great. He had made the appointment delightful. I had bought my treadmill 6 years ago and didn't have it registered. He had called the manufacturer and was able to do so. I was impressed. His professionalism is outstanding.
Warren Dawson
Works Like New
Dax did a great job. Replaced a broken part on my NordicTrack, identified and fixed some other issues, educated me as to how to make certain adjustments myself, and gave the machine a much needed tune-up. Works like new. Excellent service from Fitness Machine Technicians! Thank you. Fred Null, Baldwin MD
Frederick Null
Very knowledgeable about the bike
Very knowledgeable about the bike and the service needed. Very friendly and polite. We had a good experience with Dax.
Kim Francis
I highly recommend them
I scheduled an appointment to have our NordicTrack treadmill serviced. Dax, the technician who came, was courteous, knowledgeable, and a really nice person to deal with. Lisa also deserves a shout-out for helping schedule the appointment and respond promptly to my inquiries. I highly recommend them.
Brian Ferguson
Dax Came to Our Rescue
Dax, who came and serviced our elliptical, was great. He was nice and considerate. It was a tough job, but Dax came to our rescue. Thank you so much!
Cheryl ILL
THANK YOU, Dax and Lisa, for unparalleled service!
Our machine was 23 years old and stopped working. Not only did Fitness Machine Technicians repair it, but they contacted the manufacturer and were able to get us the (expensive) part on warranty, so we only paid shipping and installation! Even better, our technician and everyone we dealt with were as incredibly pleasant, friendly, and as helpful as they could possibly be. THANK YOU, Dax and Lisa, for unparalleled service!
Amy Poggi
Very Good Experience Overall
Technician worked on our ancient Landice treadmill. We knew it was likely past the point of repair, but he serviced it, and the company offered possibilities for repair we hadn't considered. Very good experience overall.
Barb Ridenour
Awesome tech and company
Dax was very helpful and professional. He made our old elliptical work and look like new. He was very helpful with questions about our other equipment. Highly recommend him and FMT to all. They respond when you call. Show up when they say. Awesome tech and company.
Hedy D
DAX did a great job
DAX did a great job bringing our antique Lifecycle back to life. We had a few laughs as well... the fitness machine technology has really advanced since we purchased this machine!
DAX was right on time and very courteous and knowledgeable. I am extremely pleased.
Mary Jo Bieberich
Very prompt and professional
Repair man was excellent and took the time to show me things I could do to maintain my Landice treadmill going forward. And even more importantly, he showed me HOW to do them. Very prompt and professional. Highly recommend.
Tina Chalk
They Are Excellent at What They Do
These guys are on speed dial for me! They are excellent at what they do, and the guys who work for them feel like part of the Training House family. They always make sure everything is done the way I want it before they leave! I strongly recommend them to any gym that needs reliable, excellent work!
Amy John
Professional, courteous and knowledgeable
Greatly appreciated the apps to let me know when the technician Dax was on his way. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable, I greatly appreciated his servicing my StairMaster and calling in for a necessary belt that had dry rotted. Look forward to his return to install the belt and get my machine working safely.
Michelle Jones
Dax was knowledgeable, quick, and efficient
Dax was knowledgeable, quick, and efficient. He used his expertise and resources to diagnose our issue. We're on the road to resolution, and it's very much appreciated.
A great company rep for FMT, thanks for sending him.

Adrian Hughes
Dax was over-the-top excellent
Dax was over-the-top excellent. He took care of my elliptical and treadmill, but also oiled other equipment I had, like Smith machine, Peloton, and rower without prompting. The elliptical is older so I was worried it may need out-of-stock parts. He discovered an unusual problem with the magnet rubbing the flywheel and adjusted it - sounds brand new. Totally recommend him and Fitness Machine Technicians.
