Introduction

HELLO! I am a retired USAF veteran with 23+ years experience as a technician. I just recently went out on my own after 7 years with a company servicing physical therapy equipment. PT equipment is commercial grade fitness equipment, so I have 7 years as a technician and manager under my belt. I can assemble, I can troubleshoot and repair and I know where I can find parts if they are still available. I am trained on Woodway treadmills, The entire Matrix line of equipment, Alter G treadmills, and have completed jobs on the side for the past few years on Spirit treadmills and equipment, Life Fitness and many others! I just have a knack for getting the job done!I LOVE to help folks out and charge reasonable rates! Give me a call!

If I could give 10 stars I would. We had a Paramount Functional Trainer we needed to be assembled. From first contact with Dave on Thumbtack, communication was simple, easy, straightforward, and responsive. Dave arrived on time and got right to work. We had instructions on how to assemble the machine. However, Dave was able to figure out most of the assembly without the instructions. Amazing!! When it comes to fitness equipment assembly, Dave knows his stuff and has worked with numerous brands of equipment. If you have fitness equipment that needs assembling and are unsure you can assemble it yourself, don’t hesitate to contact Dave. Very fair pricing, professional, personable, courteous, and knowledgeable! Will definitely use his services again in the future. Thanks Dave!

Absolutely phenomenal! Five stars across the board. This is your go-to guy for gym equipment assembly. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and professional at what he does. From the very beginning, he communicated clearly and even shared his background and experience, which gave us a lot of confidence in his work. We had a few parts arrive damaged from the manufacturer, but he handled it like a pro—quickly troubleshooting and finding effective solutions without missing a beat. He gave helpful feedback throughout the process and worked efficiently. What would’ve taken us days, he completed in just under eight hours. We had three separate gym machines, and he ensured everything was assembled correctly and safely. His pricing was very reasonable, and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. He’s approachable, highly skilled, and genuinely cares about the quality of his work. If you have any gym equipment that needs assembly—this is the man to call.
