24/7 GYM EQUIPMENT
COMPLETE CARE, MAINTENANCE & ASSEMBLY GUIDE

Quick Navigation

PART 1: PRODUCT CARE GUIDE

To prolong the life of your 24/7 GYM EQUIPMENT, it is important that your gear is routinely cleaned and regularly maintained. Regular maintenance allows equipment to continue to perform at its optimum for longer.

How to Clean and Disinfect Your Home Gym and Equipment Infographic
Warning: As a general rule, avoid harsh cleaning chemicals and do NOT use hand sanitiser directly on equipment as this can deteriorate rubber and metals. Any damage caused by careless storage in locations with extreme sun exposure or water damage may void your warranty.

Cleaning vs. Disinfecting (Important)

  • Cleaning: Removes sweat, dirt, and organic matter. Do this first.
  • Disinfecting: Kills germs. Do this second if necessary.
  • Method: Always apply cleaner or disinfectant to a cloth first, then wipe the equipment. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto joints, bearings, consoles, or electronics.
  • Dry: Always wipe away residue to prevent corrosion.

BARBELLS

Chalk, dirt, and skin build up in the knurling, attracting moisture and causing rust. Use a nylon or brass brush to scrub the fine knurling.

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe barbell after each workout to remove sweat or dust.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Clean entire barbell monthly to minimise build-up.
  • Oil the sleeves if necessary.
Always dry your barbell after cleaning to avoid rusting.

WEIGHT PLATES

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe around the diameter and across the face of the plate after workouts.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Clean entire weight plate to minimise corrosion.
  • Avoid Dropping: Do not unnecessarily drop plates on concrete. This degrades the coating.
Tip: Always store plates on a rack. Do not stack them damp.

DUMBBELLS AND KETTLEBELLS

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe down handles and weights.
  • Scrub knurling to remove bacteria and skin cells.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Clean entire unit.
  • Inspect for coating damage (chips/cracks).

HOW TO CLEAN OIL FROM NEW RUBBER DUMBBELLS & WEIGHTS

(Applies to Bumper Plates and Hex Rubber Dumbbells)

New rubber often has a factory release oil to prevent cracking during shipping. It is safe to remove.

✅ What You Should Use:

  • Warm water mixed with mild dish soap (pH neutral).
  • Microfibre cloth and a dry towel.

Steps:

  1. Dampen cloth with soapy water (do not soak).
  2. Wipe the rubber surface thoroughly.
  3. Wipe again with a clean, damp cloth (water only).
  4. Dry immediately with a towel. Let air dry.
🚫 DO NOT USE: Bleach, Ammonia, Degreasers, Alcohol, Acetone, or High-pressure water. These will dry out the rubber and cause cracking.

BENCHES

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe upholstery after every workout.
  • Ensure bench is stable and does not rock.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Inspect for loose hardware. Tighten bolts as they can work loose over time.
  • Check upholstery for tears.

POWER/HALF/SQUAT RACKS

Racks should be kept in an enclosed environment, free from exposure to the elements.

Wiping down chrome uprights with a microfibre cloth
Regularly wipe down chrome uprights to remove sweat and prevent corrosion.

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe down all surfaces.
  • Inspect for noisy or damaged components.
  • Re-adjust levelling feet if the rack rocks.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Inspect the entire unit for loose hardware (uprights, handrails, frame).
  • Tighten bolts that may have worked loose.
  • Check J-Hooks and Spotter Arms for wear on the protective plastic.

TREADMILLS

Dust and debris under the motor cover affect performance.

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe down console and handles.
  • Inspect for unusual noises.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Check oil reservoirs (if applicable).
  • Wipe and dry the running belt.
  • Lubrication: Ensure belt is greased with 100% silicone (do not over-lubricate).
  • Alignment: Ensure the running belt is centred.
  • Cleaning: Switch off and unplug, then clean under the motor cover.

EXERCISE BIKES

ELLIPTICAL / UPRIGHT / SPIN BIKES

  • Daily: Wipe down console, seat, and handles. Ensure unit is level.
  • Monthly: Check tightness of pedals and cranks. Tighten all frame bolts. Clean the "sweat zone" thoroughly.

AIR BIKE

  • Daily: Clean fan cover, seat post, and exposed drivetrain parts. Check pull pins.
  • Weekly: "Pedal test" for creaks. Tighten crank, bell crank bolts, and handlebar pivot nuts.
  • Monthly: Check chain tension. Torque pedals.
  • Quarterly: Lubricate chain (every 2 months). Check seat stability.

STRENGTH/CABLE MACHINES

Daily Maintenance:

  • Wipe down handles, bars, seats, and pads.

Monthly Maintenance:

  • Apply 100% silicone spray to guide rods, pulleys, and pulley sliders.
  • Check cable tension and bolt tightness.
Lubricant: Use 100% silicone only. Do not use WD-40 or grease on guide rods.

WALL/SLAM/MEDICINE BALLS

  • Use on rubber flooring or carpet only.
  • Wipe down after every workout.
  • Ensure inflation needle is lubricated before inflating.
  • Do not slam "Non-Slam" (Wall) balls.

STORAGE – RACKS & HOLDERS

  • Wipe down weekly to prevent dust build-up.
  • Tighten assembly bolts monthly.

GYM FLOORING

Maintenance Schedule:

  • Weekly: Sweep away chalk. Vacuum. Mop with damp nylon/microfibre mop.
  • Quarterly: Deep clean/scrub.
DO NOT: Soak the floor (water damages subfloor), use abrasive pads, or use bleach/vinegar.
