Cross Trainer
€400
Description
I recently purchased a second-hand Life Fitness cross trainer (model 95xi/93xi) and am seeking assistance with an issue I’ve noticed. I have contacted a number of service companies to inspect the machine, however, none have been able to assist as they do not cover my area. The arms and pedals appear to be out of alignment, and during use it feels as though the machine “jumps,” when using it, it's not a normal feeling. I provided a short video, it might help. I was hoping you might be able to offer support or advice on this matter, or possibly arrange a house call to assess and repair the machine if required. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

@Daniel D. The €400 was for Labour and the parts (I can't see the parts costing much) I do think after looking at it and doing some research it's only bearings and small stuff?
I can do it this way: I can carry out the technical visit for €100, and if I solve the problem, you pay the remaining €300.
Thomas can you upload a video here to have a look how it’s working,and a can help you?
3. Worn bearings/bushings in the hinges Over time (especially with intensive use), the bearings and bushings in the movement components wear out. This can cause uneven movement, wobbling, and a "bouncing" sensation. What to do: ✔️ Check the play in the lever and pedal joints with the treadmill turned off. ✔️ If play is detected, replace the worn bushings/bearings. ⸻ ???? 4. Uneven placement of the treadmill on the floor If the treadmill is uneven (tilted, tilted), this can create a "jerking" sensation when you step, especially on an elliptical with a long stride. What to do: ✔️ Make sure the base is level—use a level or adjust the leveling feet (if applicable).
Hi Thomas! 1. Loose bolts and fasteners Over time, levers, pedals, and connecting rods can become slightly loose. This leads to play, vibration, and a feeling that the mechanics are "out of alignment." What to do: ✔️ Check and tighten the bolts that secure the levers and pedals (especially the pedal-to-lever fastener). ✔️ Make sure there are no missing washers or bolts from previous maintenance. ⸻ ???? 2. Incorrect assembly or rearrangement of parts If the treadmill has recently been moved or disassembled for repairs or maintenance, parts may have been installed in the wrong positions or misaligned. Even a slight misalignment of the lever changes the trajectory of movement. What to do: ✔️ Compare the position of the right and left levers—they should be symmetrical. ✔️ If you have access to the service/installation manual, double-check the correct installation and the fastening sequence of the components.
Hi Michael, My only concern is getting parts if needed for the machine? The parts might be a bearing, etc (but they need to be the right ones) The €400 was for Labour and the parts (I can't see the parts costing much) I already looked at YouTube / Chat GPT - it can be a tricky job, and it's really down to the parts for replacement.
