Treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, rowers, steppers, and home gyms are not the same as your typical household appliances. They are more like your car than your washing machine, in that they need continuous care to provide you with many worry-free years of service. Take care of your investment and you'll be able to enjoy a long and productive service life. Before your equipment arrives at your home or business, one of our technicians will clean inside the machine and inspect, tighten, adjust and lubricate the equipment. It is the owner's responsibility to periodically wipe down all the external surfaces of the equipment to keep it clean and dust-free. Additionally, cleaning of the surrounding area of the equipment will not be performed by Athletic Vision Fitness.   [![DOWNLOAD GUIDE](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/20527295/45542134-b45a-4713-a56e-64b59d1cc16a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/20527295/45542134-b45a-4713-a56e-64b59d1cc16a)   [![company logo](https://ticket.athleticvisionfitness.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ATHLETIC%201505-1.png?height=120&name=ATHLETIC%201505-1.png)](https://www.athleticvisionfitness.com) Best for life - [![facebook_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/facebook_circle_color.png)](https://www.facebook.com/athleticvisionfitness) - [![instagram_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/instagram_circle_color.png)](https://www.instagram.com/athleticvisionfitness/) - [![youtube_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/youtube_circle_color.png)](https://www.youtube.com/@athleticvisionfitness) - [![linkedin_social_link_icon_alt_text](https://static.hsstatic.net/TemplateAssets/static-1.329/img/hs_default_template_images/modules/Follow+Me+-+Email/linkedin_circle_color.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/72283121) - [Start Selling Athletic](https://athleticvisionfitness.com) - [Create a ticket](https://ticket.athleticvisionfitness.com/en/knowledge/kb-tickets/new) - [Go to Customer Portal](https://ticket.athleticvisionfitness.com/customer-space) - [Sign in](https://ticket.athleticvisionfitness.com/_hcms/mem/login?redirect_url=/en/knowledge/) - [Start Selling Athletic](https://www.athleticvisionfitness.com)
