Why does my Gold's Gym Treadmill power turn off during use?
- M
  michael81Aug 1, 2025
  If the power on your Gold's Gym Treadmill turns off during use, first check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the frame near the power cord. If the breaker has tripped, wait five minutes, and then press it back in. Also, ensure the power cord is securely plugged in; if it is, unplug it, wait five minutes, and plug it back in. Finally, try removing and reinserting the key from the console.

Why does the walking belt slow down on my Gold's Gym Treadmill?
- W
  william26Aug 10, 2025
  If the walking belt on your Gold's Gym Treadmill slows when you walk on it, use only a single-outlet surge suppressor. If the walking belt is overtightened, remove the key and unplug the power cord. Then, use the included allen wrench to turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift the edges of the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

How to fix incline on Gold's Gym Treadmill?
- M
  Mr. Michael FryeAug 20, 2025
  If the incline of your Gold's Gym Treadmill does not change correctly, insert the key into the console and press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level.
