Professional Stationary Bike Repair Service
If you are searching for professional stationary bike repair, you are likely dealing with real frustrations. Maybe the resistance will not change, the console is blank, or a grinding sound makes every ride stressful. Our team helps homeowners and managers of small fitness rooms across Rochester, NY, handle these issues without guesswork or risky do-it-yourself fixes.
We repair a wide range of upright and recumbent models used in home gyms, apartment communities, corporate wellness spaces, schools, and training studios. During a visit, our technicians carefully examine the bike, test how it performs, and look for the root cause of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. They arrive with professional tools and select common parts, and they work to leave your equipment functioning smoothly and safely whenever repair is practical.
Common Exercise Bike Problems We Fix
Recognizing your specific problem on this page can make it easier to decide to call for help. Over time, exercise bikes face regular wear from repeated use, and small issues can grow into bigger problems. Our technicians see many patterns, and they understand how to track down the cause before recommending repair.
Some of the most frequent problems our team handles include:
Unusual noises, squeaks, or grinding sounds while pedaling
Resistance that will not change or feels inconsistent
Dead, flickering, or inaccurate consoles and displays
Pedals, cranks, or seats that feel loose or unstable
Frames that rock, wobble, or feel unsafe during use
When you contact us, you do not need to know exactly what is wrong. Sharing what you feel and hear when using the bike often gives our technicians enough information to start narrowing down the likely causes before they arrive.
Why Rochester Customers Choose Our Team
Choosing someone to work on your fitness equipment is about more than fixing a single problem. You want a team that understands how you use your bike and respects the space where it sits. Many owners and facility managers trust Fitness Machine Technicians of Rochester, NY for those reasons.
We come directly to homes, apartment gyms, corporate wellness rooms, schools, and small studios throughout the Rochester area. That means you do not have to move heavy equipment out of a basement, up stairwells, or through shared hallways. It also allows our technicians to see how your bike is set up, which can be important for solving noise or stability issues that relate to flooring and placement.
Because our team focuses on fitness equipment, including exercise and stationary bikes, you are not relying on general handyman work for a technical machine. Our technicians follow structured training specific to cardio equipment, and they bring that knowledge to each service visit.
They also work to communicate clearly about what they find, what it may take to fix it, and whether repair is the best choice for the age and condition of your bike.
Our goal is simple. We aim to provide practical, reliable service that keeps your equipment available for the people who depend on it, whether that is your family, your tenants, your employees, or your members.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth repairing my old exercise bike?
Repair can be worthwhile, but it depends on the bike’s age, condition, and original quality. Our technicians look at these factors and explain what they see, then discuss costs before work begins. If replacement seems more practical, we share that perspective so you can decide.
What types of exercise bikes can your team fix?
We work on many upright and recumbent bikes commonly found in homes and small fitness rooms. During scheduling, we ask for your brand and model so we can prepare for your visit. If a particular unit is outside our typical scope, we let you know upfront.

Yes, our service model is built around on-site visits for residential customers. We travel to homes in and around Rochester, so you do not have to move heavy equipment. When you contact us, we confirm that your location fits within our service area.
How much does stationary bike repair usually cost?
Costs vary based on the issue, parts needed, and time required. During the visit, our technician identifies likely causes and then reviews estimated pricing with you before starting work. If parts are required, we explain how that affects the overall cost so you can make an informed choice.
Can you service exercise bikes in our apartment gym?
We regularly visit shared fitness rooms in apartment communities and similar facilities. Our team coordinates access, works to minimize disruption for residents, and can discuss both one-time repairs and ongoing maintenance for multiple machines in the same space.

Lisa Bloom
These guys are the real deal!!
Wow!! I’ve never gotten exercise equipment serviced before, and I did not know what to expect. From start to finish, the FMT team was super professional and friendly. These guys are the real deal!! I will recommend them to anyone that needs work done on a treadmill. Thanks again.
Mark Franklin
Equipment Was Fixed and Works Great!
Professional. On time. Honest. Equipment was fixed and works great! What more can you ask for?? 10/10 recommendation 💪
Charles Schmidt
I Highly Recommend FMT
I have a TRUE recumbent bike that stopped working. A quick text to FMT with my serial number and I was advised they would order the part and be out the next week. Job was completed today in less than half an hour. Price was more than reasonable (much less than I had expected) and now my bike works again. Thanks, Mike! I highly recommend FMT to repair your fitness equipment and I will definitely use them again if necessary.
Meljan Fran
Jake was incredible
I just got my treadmill repaired by a wonderful guy named Jake. He drove all the way from Rochester to Syracuse during a winter advisory to make it to my appointment and was extremely kind and helpful. He walked me through what the issue was and how he was fixing it and even went above and beyond to help me get the treadmill level in my crooked porch. He let me try it out before he left to make sure everything was working great and even gave me a lot of great tips on how to keep it maintained. Extremely knowledgeable; I was very impressed by his professionalism and great work. All done pretty fast too. I can’t express how grateful I am to finally use this treadmill and get back on my fitness journey in my home. Jake was incredible. Thank you, Jake!
H Sal
Great Service and Completely Fixed It
Great service and completely fixed the failed assembly from NordicTrack. After dealing unsuccessfully with NordicTrack for hours these guys fixed my elliptical and it works great! Reasonable price as well. Thanks!
Brett Bell
This company and their service is excellent!
This company and their service is excellent! I have a treadmill that needed repair; the business I bought the treadmill from sent the techs from this business to take care of it. Due to waiting for parts to be shipped from the manufacturer, the process took approximately 1 year. If the manufacturer had listened to the tech (Rick) in the first place, it would have been resolved quicker. Their techs have extensive knowledge with everything involved with fitness equipment. Their customer service is excellent as well; they kept in touch and sent their techs out in a very timely manner. I recommend them highly.
Tracy Kenney
They Came and Fixed It Super Quick
Treadmill wouldn't run. I emailed them; they responded back with a price and date. They came and fixed it super quick. No problems since. Thank you so much!

We Highly Recommend FMT
We had moved our correctly disassembled Precor 223 up from North Carolina in late February. It was carefully and excellently reassembled today by Jake Z from FMT. Jake needed to make an adjustment or two, as the move had caused very minor problems. He also helped us position the treadmill on its mat in our apartment. We were totally pleased with his work and with FMT's Fred Burghardt in arranging a convenient time to do the work. We are very pleased and highly recommend FMT!
Barney Rickenbacker
Jake was super helpful and professional
Jake was super helpful and professional, an excellent diagnostician. Fred was responsive with communication above and beyond. Go with FMS, you won't be sorry!
Steve Harrow
Highly recommended!
They breathed new life into my old elliptical (that I love and use daily) for far less than a good used machine would have cost. Friendly, professional, on-time, quick service at a reasonable cost - what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!
Andy Vaughan
Very positive experience
Fitness Machine replaced my treadmill belt. Representative did an excellent job and my treadmill is working great once again.
He was courteous, friendly, and very professional.
He recommended oiling the belt every 6 months.
I was never given this advice from the store I purchased the machine from. I will definitely use their service in the future.
Very positive experience.

Peter OBrien
The technician was timely and courteous
Reached out to FMT late in the evening to help me with an issue reinstalling the console on my NordicTrack Commercial 2450. FMT had a technician out within 2 days and the issue was resolved within a few hours. The technician was timely and courteous. In the event we need service again, I’ll definitely be reaching back out.

Honestly the Best Choice
I ran into a calibration issue with my treadmill. Literally texted them at 10 a.m.; by 9 a.m. I had Fred letting me know Jake will be here today! Amazing! Jake arrived right within the time frame he gave and was super friendly. He told me everything that he was doing and things that needed to be done. Up front and honest. He even chuckled as he fixed my treadmill as my puppers inspected his bag for treats! These reviews were spot on! Honestly the best choice for your exercise equipment needs! Thank you!
Sara Benincasa
Fast, easy, and effective

Nancy Rourke
I Would Highly Recommend This Service
I want to thank Jake for a great experience with my treadmill. Jake was able to put this massive apparatus together effortlessly. He was quite knowledgeable, friendly, professional and efficient. He gave me extra information and suggestions that were the extra touches I really appreciate. The treadmill is massive and had to be brought into another room. He was very neat and tidy. He was extremely polite and comforting. He showed me how to maintain my investment and many options for other services available for my treadmill’s care, but also how I can do it myself. I would highly recommend this service and ask for Jake!! Thank you - Michelle
Michelle LaRussa-Trott
Jake did a fabulous job
Jake did a fabulous job repairing a minor issue with our NordicTrack elliptical and was super kind! It was very easy to schedule an appointment and the repair was timely. Will happily call if we ever need services in the future.
Megan Humphreys
A+ service
My experience with Fitness Machine Technicians was superb. Jake is the technician who serviced our treadmill, and was an open book of honesty from the minute he came out to diagnose the issue with our machine. I had been provided diagnoses over the phone from other local services, including the location from where we bought the machine, that only accounted for completely replacing our console. We were told the costs would run anywhere from $800-$1200.
The main office with Fitness Machine Technicians was prompt to schedule our service call. Jake provided me with a few options, starting with the replacement of our display only, which he felt was likely the issue. He told me it was possible that the console might need also to be replaced; however, he would start with just the display as it was only a $300 fix. He was spot-on.
A+ service. Will be utilizing them for all of our treadmill upkeep in the future.
J Aris
Highly recommend

Joann Moluf
I would highly recommend these professionals
My NordicTrack treadmill needed repair and service. I called FMT and spoke to the owner, Fred Burghardt, to make an appointment. He sent his technician, Jake, who did an extensive review. Parts had to be ordered, and another appointment was scheduled. Jake was punctual, friendly, and very polite. The service was great, the pricing in my opinion was reasonable. I would highly recommend these professionals in any of your fitness equipment repair.
