After moving to new house my treadmill stopped working, I called Boost Gym Service and Igor came the next day to repair it. He did everything super fast and professionally, explained how I can do maintenance by myself and gave useful tips. The price was fair. Thank you so much, will definitely use the service again. Highly recommend in Palisades Park!
Fast, professional, and fair pricing. They had my equipment back in action in no time. Highly recommend.
Arthur came and looked at my Treadmill found the issue, and said it needed maintenance, which I knew it did, I asked if he could do it, his office called me back with a total price. Arthur did the maintenance and showed me what he did, the Machine looked like new, he was very pleasant, and would certainly reach out to him again.
Arthur was fantastic. He arrived and let us know the problems we had with the treadmill and showed me each part that needed repair. In the end, we decided not to repair our treadmill, but it was a good experience working with this company.
Arthur K is very skilled, professional and courteous. Wonderful technician who represents the company well.
Arthur was super professional and friendly; was immediately able to pinpoint the issue and solution. Would definitely recommend!!
Red Bull Arena put Harrison on the map, but the real fitness action is in the row houses and garden apartments off Frank E. Rodgers Blvd and Bergen Street. A Concept2 RowErg or a NordicTrack RW900 stuffed into a 07029 basement gets used hard — until the chain stiffens mid-stroke or the seat roller starts grinding the rail. That's a machine problem, not a motivation problem, and it's fixable the same day. Harrison is a dense town — 18,000 people packed into about a square mile between the Passaic River and the Kearny line. Most residents working around the PATH station on Railroad Avenue don't have space for a full gym setup, so a single rowing machine has to carry a lot of weight. When it breaks, there's no backup.
Most of Harrison's housing stock is pre-war row homes and two-family flats built before 1940 — the basements run damp year-round, especially close to the Passaic River flood plain along Harrison Avenue and the South 3rd Street corridor. That moisture is brutal on drive chains and resistance cylinders. Equipment in 07029 also gets moved constantly: narrow stairwells, tight doorframes, machines migrating between apartments as leases turn over along SEPTA-adjacent blocks near the transit hub. Every move adds stress to the frame and rollers that manufacturers never accounted for. The newer condo buildings that went up near the waterfront post-2015 have different issues — building management controls elevator access, freight entry requires advance scheduling, and some units have HOA rules about heavy equipment installation. A 120-volt outlet shared with a washer is fine for an air rower; a high-wattage magnetic machine on the same circuit will blow a breaker every session. These are real logistics we deal with on Harrison calls, not something we figure out at the door.
Common Rowing Machine Issues in Harrison
Seized Drive Chain After Humid Harrison Winters
Pre-war basements near the Passaic flood plain stay wet from November through April. The drive chain on a Concept2 RowErg needs lubrication on a schedule — skip it in a damp 07029 basement and the chain seizes against the flywheel housing. We clean, re-tension, and relube the full chain assembly, then inspect the flywheel bearing for corrosion. Concept2 Model D and E chains both use a specific link pitch; generic bike chain lube is the wrong viscosity and accelerates wear. Most chain service visits in Harrison take under 90 minutes because parking and access on residential blocks like Sussex Street and Bergen Street is usually straightforward.
Cracked Resistance Cylinder on Water-Based Rowers
Hydrow Wave and WaterRower machines use a polycarbonate water tank as the resistance element. Hairline cracks develop from transport stress — and in Harrison, these machines get carried up tight row-house staircases and through sub-30-inch doorframes more than anywhere else. A leaking cylinder drops resistance unevenly and ruins the stroke feel. We replace the cylinder and reseal the fill port on-site. If the crack is at the bottom seam near the impeller mount, that's a full tank swap — we carry replacement tanks for both Hydrow and WaterRower Natural Series and can usually complete it in one visit.
Seat Roller Damage Chewing Up the Monorail
Seat rollers on NordicTrack RW models flatten and crack after heavy use. Most people ignore the early clicking sound until the worn rollers start cutting into the aluminum monorail itself — at that point the repair bill grows. Grinding or wobble during the drive stroke is the tell. On the RW900 and RW700, the inner roller pair wears faster than the outer because of how the seat pivots under load. We carry roller sets for NordicTrack and Concept2 and can swap them same visit before the rail damage gets worse. Catching it at the clicking stage saves the rail and keeps the cost under $175.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Harrison for Rowing Machine Repair?▼
Harrison sits right off Route 1&9 and the NJ Turnpike interchange — most 07029 calls get same-day or next-morning slots. Street parking works fine on most residential blocks off Frank E. Rodgers Blvd. For the newer waterfront condos near the PATH station, let us know in advance so we can coordinate freight elevator access. Schedule online or call us directly and we confirm the window within an hour.
Do you repair Concept2, Hydrow, and NordicTrack rowing machines?▼
Yes — those three cover most of what we see in Harrison. Concept2 RowErg chain service and performance monitor replacements, Hydrow Wave cylinder and handle grip repairs, NordicTrack RW seat rollers and shock cord swaps. Also Sunny Health SR models, Ergatta, and older ProForm rowers. Have your model number ready and we can often quote before the visit.

Most Harrison repairs land between $130 and $290 depending on parts. Chain service and roller replacement are at the lower end; cylinder and monitor work runs higher.
