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!!
Cedar Brook Park draws a lot of Plainfield residents who'd rather walk indoors come January. That NordicTrack FS14i sitting in the basement of a 07060 colonial gets heavy use all winter — and the stride cam assembly on those machines hates humidity cycles. Basement moisture in Plainfield's older homes is the number one reason elliptical resistance systems fail mid-season.
Plainfield housing skews toward pre-WWII Victorians and 1920s colonials, especially around the Netherwood neighborhood and the blocks off Watchung Avenue. Those basements run damp. Zip codes 07060 and 07062 have some of the oldest housing stock in Union County — the kind where a ProForm elliptical on a finished basement floor picks up ground moisture through concrete slab. Electronics corrode. Flywheel bearings rust. It's a pattern we see every spring.
Common Elliptical Issues in Plainfield
Grinding Pedals in Old-Home Basements
The pedal arm bearings on Schwinn and Horizon ellipticals corrode fast in basement environments. You'll hear grinding at the bottom of the stride first, then it spreads. The fix is replacing the sealed bearing cartridge inside each pedal arm — not the pedal itself. Ignoring it strips the crank spindle, which costs three times more to fix.
Resistance That Stops Responding Mid-Workout
NordicTrack and ProForm machines use a magnetic eddy-current brake controlled by a stepper motor. When the control wire corrodes or the motor seizes, the resistance locks at one level and the console throws an E7 or ERR-5 code. Replacement stepper motors are cheap. The labor is in accessing the drive assembly through the main frame — about 45 minutes if you know where the bolts are.
Console Errors After Power Surges
Plainfield's grid takes hits during summer storms. A Sole E35 or Bowflex Max Trainer console board doesn't survive a surge the way a treadmill motor does — the capacitors blow first. We see fried console PCBs every August. A surge protector rated for motorized equipment helps, but if the board is already gone, we swap the console unit and recalibrate stride length settings from scratch.
