Episode Notes

If your treadmill stops working, it's not necessarily the end of the world. The problem could be quite simple to fix – but before you go running off to muddle through YouTube tutorials, read this guide from SOLE Fitness. It covers everything you need to know!

Did you know that treadmill ownership has reached around 60 million households across the US? Everyone loves a good treadmill – but here's the thing: a lot of owners don't know how to handle basic maintenance issues.

SOLE Fitness says: "We’ve all been there - mid-workout, feeling great, and suddenly, your treadmill stops. Frustrating, right? It disrupts your flow and throws off your momentum. But don't worry, because most treadmill issues are easy to fix with a bit of know-how. With our guide, you'll be back to running in no time."

The SOLE Fitness guide explains that treadmills often stop because their motors get too hot. When this happens, built-in safety features automatically turn off the machine to prevent damage. You'll probably run into this problem if you use your treadmill for long periods without breaks. And not keeping the belt and deck properly lubricated also creates extra friction, which generates heat and triggers these shutdowns.

The guide explains that, as motors age, they have trouble maintaining consistent power, especially during intense exercise sessions. So the treadmill may stop intermittently while the motor tries to handle the workout requirements.

SOLE Fitness encourages you to let the motor cool down between workouts and to place the treadmill in a well-ventilated area with clear space around it. You should also lubricate the treadmill, per manufacturer recommendations, to prevent issues.

There are loads of different treadmill options for home gyms available on the company's website. Their folding treadmills start with the F63 model at $1,299.99, while the more advanced F80 costs $1,899.99. For those who prefer non-folding models, the SOLE TT8 is available for $2,899.99.

Every model comes with free access to the SOLE+ app with guided video workouts, helping you get more from your equipment through structured exercise routines.
