Black Marks

Leg Press, Oblique, Chest Back, Leg Curl, Pec Deck, Ab-Back, Shoulder Press, Bicep Tricep, Hip Abductor

Fixed Black Marks

A simple and cost effective solution is to use anti skid tape.  This tape looks like a 2 inch wide strip of black sandapper.  To do all machines takes 10 feet

I have a 10 foot lenght for $20

Cut a strip a bit shorter than the bottom bar.  Remove the backing and stick to the bottom bar.  This looks good and holds up pretty well.  If you need to replace a stricp use a hair dryer to heat the tape and pull off.

 


Cleaning Recover Squares

If you have a power washer use it to clean the squares.  We first apply a solution of Oxy Clean and then use the power washer to rinse off.  If you do not have a power washer take the squares to a self service car wash and use the rinse setting to clean the squares.
