Inspect the Equipment  

If a piece of fitness equipment isn’t working correctly, begin troubleshooting the issue by carefully examining all visible components, including belts, handles, pedals, and frames, for signs of damage. Specifically, look for cracks, frayed belts, or loose bolts, as these can cause malfunctions during use or pose safety risks.

As you examine the equipment, pay particular attention to moving parts such as the running belt on a treadmill or the internal belt drive of a stationary bike. These areas often experience significant wear due to frequent use. If you notice uneven movements or a wobbling sensation, it may indicate loose or misaligned components.

Running Belt Alignment

If the belt on a TRUE treadmill seems to be uncentered over time, an alignment might be the fix.

If the running belt is too far to the right side:

1. Locate the right side belt adjustment bolt at the rear of the treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.)
2. On the right side of the machine, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise ¼ turn.
3. Turn the treadmill on and start the belt at 3 mph (5 kph) keeping off the unit.
4. Allow 2 minutes for the belt to self adjust. Move the Belt to the Left Side Repeat these steps if additional adjustment is necessary.

If the running belt is too far to the left side:

1. Locate the left side belt adjustment bolt at the rear of the treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.)
2. On the left side of the machine, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise ¼ turn.
3. Turn the treadmill on and start the belt at 3 mph (5 kph) keeping off the unit.
4. Allow 2 minutes for the belt to self adjust.

Repeat these steps if additional adjustment is necessary. If you are unsure about this procedure, contact TRUE product support (service@xingyunsoft.com | 800.883.8783).

Read the Machine’s Manual  

If your cardio equipment isn’t working like it usually would, read through the owner’s manual that the machine came with. Sometimes, the solution to a problem can be as simple as a quick adjustment or reset. The manual will also provide valuable information on maintenance and troubleshooting specific to your machine. You can find and reference 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 product manuals here.

Certified Partners  

Persistent problems like unusual noises, heavy vibrations, or complete failure to operate often indicate underlying mechanical or electrical faults beyond the scope of essential repairs. If you experience this, it’s best to call 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育’ product support team. 66体育 - TRUE Fitness让运动更简单_官方网站 66体育 66体育 uses certified 3rd party partners to provide service and repair work to your TRUE machines. Note: Have the serial number ready to read off when calling in.

Tip: Gather as much information about the issue as possible to help the technician identify its source quickly. Start by documenting any error codes displayed on the console and providing detailed descriptions of symptoms like noises or movements; provide this information to the repair professional.

Specific Issues with Equipment  

While there are broad steps to troubleshooting and repairing common cardio equipment issues, each machine has some specifics. Below, we’ve provided a few examples of common treadmill issues and how to resolve them.  

Treadmills  

The treadmill is a staple of any cardio workout routine, but it’s also one of the most widely misused machines. One common issue with treadmills is a slipping or jerking sensation when running on the treadmill. The belt might require tightening. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use. Here’s TRUE’s recommendation for fixing it:

Tensioning The Belt

• Verify the treadmill is level before attempting any belt adjustments. An unstable unit may cause belt misalignment.
• Special care must be taken when tensioning the running belt. Turn off the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers and any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
• For your safety, use the power switch to turn off the treadmill before making any adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
• Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Over tightening the bolt can damage the treadmill and over stretch the belt.
• If you tighten the belt and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt, which is located under the motor cover and connects the motor to the front roller. If the drive belt is loose, it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the drive belt should only be done by a trained service person, contact TRUE product support for assistance.

Preventative Maintenance

TRUE recommends that quarterly scheduled maintenance be performed by a qualified service technician. You can put in a service or parts request online here. Below are general best practices to upkeep your TRUE cardio equipment:

• Daily
  • Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed cables, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service.
  • Verify the pedals are at the correct torque specification and securely fastened.
  • Use GymWipes Antibacterial wipes or spray a solution of 30 parts water to 1 part mild detergent to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces.
  • Use a LCD/screen cleaner or spray a solution of 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol and 1 part water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe the surface of the console. This helps remove fingerprints, dust, and dirt.
• Weekly
  • Vacuum any dust or dirt that might have accumulated under or around the bike.
• Quarterly
  • Record time, distance, and hours from the console.
  • Check error log in console.
  • Remove shroud covers and vacuum any debris out of the speed sensor, control electronics and moving parts.
  • Move and vacuum underneath the machine.
  • Inspect all fasteners.
  • Inspect all electrical connections.
  • Inspect components for abnormal or premature wear.

Giant Workout Set Blocks

Try these 2 giant set blocks. The first block focuses on your chest or pectoral muscles.

• The first exercise is a free weight exercise that allows a full range of motion and requires the use of smaller stabilizer muscles to control the movement.
• The second exercise is a bodyweight exercise. The use of a suspension trainer is great since you can adjust your body angle to increase or decrease the intensity according to your fitness level plus the added benefits of core engagement and more overall stabilization of the body.
• Finally, for the third exercise, an isolation movement, a machine is used. The focus will be solely on the muscles being targeted to make sure you’ve finished off and used every muscle fiber in that area.

Perform each block in a circuit style fashion and perform each exercise back-to-back with 60-90s rest between each exercise. The second block will follow the same framework as the first block. However, it works muscles directly opposite of the chest. Primarily the lats, mid-back, and rear delt muscles are targeted to promote muscle balance.

Warm-Up

5 minutes of light to moderate intensity

Block 1:

• 3 rounds of 12-15 reps
• Incline dumbbell press
• Suspension trainer chest press
• Pec Fly machine

Block 2:

• 3 rounds of 12-15 reps
• Bent over dumbbell row
• Suspension Trainer Row
• Rear Delt machine

I’ve often been asked if stretching first thing in the morning is good for you. The answer is a resounding yes! A morning stretch routine offers several benefits in addition to just improving your flexibility. 

A simple stretch routine in as little as 8 minutes can help energize you and get your day started off on the right foot, no equipment required. Here are 5 reasons why you should stretch in the morning:

1. Increases Blood Flow

I’m not saying stretching will get the blood pumping like a good run or HIIT circuit. However, it can get you going at just the right amount and rate since, after all, you just woke up! Lying in bed after a night’s sleep can stiffen your muscles especially if you had a rigorous workout the day before or have been sitting at a desk staring down at a computer screen. Stretching can help relieve some of that tension and facilitate the process of removing lactic acid and getting fresh oxygenated blood to those muscles.

2. Wakes Up Your Nervous System

When performed first thing in the morning, stretching can literally wake up your mind and body. Not only do the muscles benefit, but the nerves that control your muscles get a chance to fire and get you ready to do your daily tasks. Your brain will get a dose of circulation to help make you alert and sharp for the day to come.

3. Prevent Injury

There is a lot of controversy about how stretching before an activity or sport doesn’t directly prevent injuries from happening. However, from my perspective, if you increase the circulation in your muscles to make them more pliable, stimulate the nervous system so it can react to movement, and mobilize all your joints in your body to stimulate the production of synovial fluid (that’s what lubricates your joints), then collectively you can reduce the likelihood of injury when tackling your to-do list at the start of your day.  

4. Improve Posture

Your spinal alignment is influenced by how you hold yourself up on a daily basis. If you often find yourself slouched forward with your shoulders rounded and head looking down at your computer screen or phone, then your body can end up holding on to that posture. A specific morning flexibility routine can help address this and serve as a reminder for good posture and alignment.  

5. Makes You More Flexible

This is supposed to be a given, right?! This is only true if you are consistent in your stretch routine. Think of it this way, your cardio or strength doesn’t improve overnight from just one day of exercising. The same applies to your flexibility.

Remember not to rush into a stretch first thing in the morning. Take your time and move into each stretch slowly and carefully. Your body has been lying down for several hours causing your body to be in a much different physical state versus when you’ve been upright all day. If you feel stiff at first, that’s ok it’s normal. Some of your joints haven’t moved for several hours causing short-term discomfort so listen to your body and move accordingly. 

Breathing is also an important component of a morning stretch routine. This can be a separate discussion in itself, but generally speaking, I recommend breathing in through the nose for four seconds and exhaling slowly out the mouth. Your abdomen should fill during breathing, and the rib cage expands both front to back and side to side.

Flexibility is just as important as cardio and strength in your fitness routine. A morning routine can help loosen you up, stimulate your brain, lubricate your joints, and help counteract the effects of sitting hours in front of a computer screen or staring at a smartphone screen by relieving tension and improving your posture.
