  • I spent 30 minutes trying to adjust my treadmill belt evenly only for me to keep making it worse lol. Figured I’d watch a YouTube video cause I felt like crying and giving up. After watching this video, I kid you not I fixed the belt in 5 minutes. Such a lifesaver, thank you!!
  • @JeromyBranch
    Best video ever made. No BS. None of that "I love to hear how smart I am while I talk and tell you a bunch of details nobody really needs to know" crap. Just the required info in simple, easy to understand format. Thanks!
  • These videos are so helpful and well explained, thank you. Its a shame that the actual companies that sell these overpriced things don't also have such clear videos.
  • Awesome video! You broke this down really well, thank you! Gonna do this right now.
  • @epbglasgow6501
    Clear and easy to understand. I particularly like the straightforward explanation of why you tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt to get the belt to move in the direction you want. Good job!
  • @drakason
    Out of all the videos I've watched to get my belt centred, yours is the one that worked! You explained it perfectly. Thank you.

    NOTE: This product works exactly as described. youtube.com/post/UgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOO… It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!

    I've watched about 4 or 5 different videos on this and you explain it simpler than others. Yours is also the only one that I've seen the slip test on which was in part something I was looking for. - Thank you! -
  • @rishipal1812
    this was the first video i watched and it was the only video i had to watch since you were very precise and clear on how to fix the treadmill. thanks !!!!!!!
  • @daf62757
    Excellent video and excellent advice. I did some lubrication on my belt and cleaning for the first time since I have owned it. That has been about 10 years. After my lubrication, the belt was tracking to the right. Nothing I did was helping and only made the problem worse. After watching this, I fixed the belt alignment in about 5 minutes. Super helpful video. This is the the kind of content that YouTube is perfect for. Thank you!
  • @valclarke4933
    Thank you for this. I tried to adjust the tension of my treadmill's belt and the manual that came with the treadmill did not seem to make sense at all. It said to move one screw clockwise while moving the other counterclockwise. I watched your video and you confirmed my suspicion. Thank you for that!
  • @leeb.5795
    I spent two hrs trying to work out this issue. After watching this vid, I fixed the problem in two minutes. Tysm! 🤗
  • @johnylee8496
    This is the second Treadmill friend I've owned bestgym.equipment t was easy to assemble and easier to fold than my last one. The controls are a lot better as well. I give it 5 stars!
  • Hey, thanks for the video. I spent my 2 hrs. of this morning in repairing my treadmill. And I was about to leave the hope, but then I remembered about you tube,and found this video . So thanks once again.
  • @paul_schuette
    Great job explaining the process! I love finding good quality videos made by people who obviously know what they're talking about. Thank you.
  • Excellent video! Simple and easy to follow. Straight to the point. Thanks for this.
  • @jobrown8146
    Thank you. Very helpful. I like that you covered both the straightening and the tension. And you explained the mechanics of it all which helped me to make sense of the adjustments.
