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!!
The shoreline neighborhoods around Lake Hopatcong — New Jersey's largest freshwater lake — create humidity conditions that wreck rowing machine electronics faster than almost anywhere in Sussex County. A Concept2 erg sitting in a lakefront basement in 07843 will develop corroded monitor connections and flywheel bearing wear well before the same machine in a dry inland home. Chain lubrication intervals shrink dramatically near the water. Most owners don't realize what's happening until the seat starts skipping or the monitor goes dark mid-workout.
A large share of homes along the lake started as summer cottages in the 1940s and 1950s, later converted to year-round residences — and the insulation and subfloor construction reflects that. Properties off Maxim Drive and down toward the lower lakeside elevations often sit on crawl spaces or bare slabs that pull ground moisture straight into basement fitness rooms. Hopatcong's 07843 zip sees WaterRower and Concept2 owners reporting seat roller rust and chain corrosion at rates you just don't see in drier inland towns. The lake is why.
Common Rowing Machine Issues in Hopatcong
Drive Chain Oxidation from Sustained Lakeside Humidity
The drive chain on a rowing machine needs regular lubrication even in dry conditions. Near Lake Hopatcong, ambient humidity accelerates oxidation between service intervals dramatically. A Concept2 Model D chain that would run for years in a climate-controlled space can start skipping and binding within a season if the room sits at 70%-plus relative humidity without a dehumidifier. Cleaning the sprocket teeth and replacing the chain fixes the symptom. Not addressing the room moisture means you're back in six months doing the same job.
Seat Roller Damage from Grit on Unfinished Basement Floors
Converted lake cottages rarely have finished concrete floors — fine particulate builds up on the monorail track and grinds into the seat rollers on every stroke. Worn rollers on a Hydrow Connected Rower or NordicTrack RW900 make the slide choppy, then uneven, then painful to use. The part itself is cheap. Ignored, damaged rollers start scoring the aluminum rail, and now a $40 roller swap turns into a full rail replacement at four to five times the cost. Catch it early.
PM5 Monitor Failure from Moisture Intrusion
Concept2's PM5 performance monitor uses circuit boards that react badly to sustained ambient moisture — not just direct water exposure. Lakefront storage rooms without year-round humidity control push enough moisture into the monitor housing to corrode internal contacts over a single winter. Flickering display, unresponsive buttons, or complete power failure all trace back to the same root cause. Diagnostics tell you whether the PM5 needs cleaning and contact reseating or a full board swap. Don't assume it's dead until it's been opened.
Resistance Cylinder Leaking on WaterRower Tanks
WaterRower machines use a water-filled tank as their resistance mechanism — and the tank seals degrade over time, especially in homes with temperature swings between heated winters and humid summers. A slow leak around the tank fitting usually starts as discoloration on the base frame. Left unchecked, the water level drops, resistance becomes inconsistent, and the paddle flywheel starts cavitating. Resealing the tank and refilling to the correct level with the provided purification tablet is a straightforward fix when caught early.
