How to Store a Treadmill

by | Feb 7, 2017 | Features

It’s easy to forget a number of electronics and technology that a treadmill has, noted Sam Williamson, owner of Guardian Moving & Storage. To prevent rust and mold issues, store the treadmill in an area where it won’t be exposed to high levels of humidity. Before placing a treadmill in storage, look at the machines instruction manual to see if it can be folded. Tension on the treadmill belts doesn’t have to be reduced during storage, explained Jon Stevenson, owner of Treadmill Doctor.

Key Takeaways:

  • That’s okay we won’t judge. There is always next year. In the meantime, you’ll need to store your treadmill correctly to make sure it is in tip-top shape when you decide to get back on it (for real this time).
  • If stored properly, however, a treadmill will keep functioning in the months and years ahead.
  • To prevent rust and mold issues, store the treadmill in an area where it won’t be exposed to high levels of humidity.

“Before placing a treadmill in storage, look at the machine’s instruction manual to see if it can be folded. If possible, folding it during storage may be a wise option, as you’ll reduce the amount of space it occupies.”
