These guys belong in a museum... the museum of exceptional service providers. I didn't think these kinds of companies exited anymore. They first tried to walk me through fixing my equipment myself, then-when that wasn't possible-interceded with the manufacturer to move things along for parts. After doing the repair, they educated me on care of the equipment. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and strongly recommended firm!

One of the most ethically-minded, customer service oriented businesses with which I've dealt. Did extensive at-home trouble-shooting over the phone with Steve Cudnoski this spring about my treadmill. Had it worked out that the running surface/belt needed to be replaced. His tech came out this summer to get it done. Great job, professional in his approach. But the very first time back on the treadmill, it stopped again, though the "symptoms" were a slightly different. Steve came out, did trouble-shooting and "diagnosed" that my motor and electrical board were shot, likely from the surface/running belt dragging. No worries, those parts are under warranty. But since this treadmill was purchased at Sears (2010), Sears had to come out to look at machine and then they were the ones to order the new motor from Sole. Had to pay them as well, but once ordered, Steve came out a second time to install the new parts. Had it running like a charm. Not only did he NOT charge me anything extra for those 2 calls, he didn't cash my original check until the job was done right. Will definitely go to him for my next treadmill or bike needs.
Description of Work: Six-year old treadmill stopping suddenly, then not running at all.

Excellent! Steve got there early and started right away. He talked to me about what I could do to keep the treadmill going and what I shouldn't be doing as well. I could tell by watching him work that he has been doing this a long time and knew what he was doing. He explained everything very well and gave me some tips for what I should be looking for in purchasing a new bike. He also offered to look at anything I was interested in if I emailed him the information. It was a great experience!

I needed a working bike in 2 daysl. They were able to accommodate me in a hurry. Set up bike stand in front of my house, tuned it up, cleaned it up, put new tires on. He also checked out and tuned up an old mountain bike that still had a year of life--good for my grandson to practice on- since he was graduating into a "real bike" later this year. Super accommodating, even though I was not a typical client for them. Very professional and appeared incredibly knowledgable about bikes.

Replaced. Only disappointment was that first visit didn't replace and made adjustments. A few months later had him back to replace it. Probably could have been a bit less cost if would have replaced on first visit. But very professional and the treadmill is working fine.

After talking over problems, and trying a few things on our own, it was advised to scrap the treadmill and use batteries in the elliptical instead of plugging it in. The cost of repairing the electrical on the elliptical was not worth the cost. He gave out all advice for free which was appreciated. I also asked his opinion about brands of new treadmills and he gave out his advice for free, too. He has serviced our machines before for general maintenance and was very professional. He was on time for our scheduled appointment and did a great job. He is very knowledgable.

Response from THE RIGHT GEAR, LLC
We were not aware that this review was here or we would have commented earlier. Accurate details as follows: 1st appt was scheduled. We arrived to determine the problems and correct if possible during that visit. Because moving company damaged 2 pieces of equipment, parts were needed. We explained to customer that parts would be ordered and when they arrived, we would reschedule to install and complete repairs. This company (Life Fitness) requires that when parts are ordered, they are paid for in full before they ship. When all parts arrived to our offices, we attempted to contact customer to schedule install. We spent THREE WEEKS leaving messages for this customer attempting to schedule service. Our final attempt to contact customer was via text. She responded when I informed her that parts were returned to the distributor and we would no longer be servicing her equipment. It was when WE decided to end service that she became upset. We either had to return parts for a refund or be stuck with the bill for these repair parts which was considerable. We had no way of knowing if this customer was ever going to call us back. Just as service companies here on Angies List need to be responsible for returning calls and being respectfull to our customers, it should be no different for the customer. We were not unprofessional or unreasonable in any way. I will let the other 23 (A) reviews here on Angies List speak for themselves. Thanks.

We called expecting to schedule a service call. Steve Cudnoski said that he could come and try lubricating the machine himself but since my husband is knowledgeable, he did not want to charge a service call if we could do it ourselves. He told us what type of lubricant to buy, and where to buy it. He also told us that parts are no longer made for our machine so if that did not work, we would need to buy a new one. We have the highest praise for Steve's honesty and professionalism. He could have come out and charged us. He does not sell treadmills, but offered to advise us should we want to buy a new one. Fortunately, the lubrication seems to have restored our treadmill. We called Steve because of his high rating on Angie's List, and we would not hesitate to call him in the future for service to any.exercise equipment.

Everything went well. As I mentioned the appointment was within a reasonable time frame and the repairman was on time and efficient. He talked with me about what I could do to prolong the life of the treadmill and what I should not be doing. He also explained a lot about the machine to me. He was very nice and I recommended this company to my friends.

I spoke with Steve and explained the situation with our treadmill. We set up an appointment for him to check our treadmill. Steve arrived a few minutes early and was very professional. He went to work right away on our treadmill. He gave me several options to pick from regarding solving our treadmill issue and answered all of my questions. He solved all of our treadmill problems and gave it a tune up. After Steve left I was happily back on our treadmill working out.

After I moved into a new house, my treadmill wasn't working. I called The Right Gear, and Steve was very responsive - did some research on the error code and tried to help me over the phone. After it still wouldn't work for me, he came over and easily fixed the problem and performed general maintenance on the treadmill. He was extremely professional and courteous. I would definitely use The Right Gear again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company!
