Marbella tunes up the Rafael Vera municipal gym with maintenance work on the machinery

The Marbella City Council has carried out maintenance and tuning of the machinery at the Rafael Vera municipal gym, "with the goal of ensuring the proper functioning of its equipment and providing better service to users." This was highlighted by the councilors for Public Works and Sports, Diego López and Lisandro Vieytes, respectively, who detailed that the interventions consisted of conservation, cleaning, and repair of the cardio and weight-training machines.

In the case of the treadmills, maintenance was performed on the motor, electrical components, and bearings, as well as lubrication of the moving parts and replacement of worn panels, button panels, and belts.

Similarly, they noted that revision and adjustment work was carried out on ellipticals, involving cleaning, rail lubrication, and replacement of damaged screens. In the weight-training area, checks were made on terminals, adjustment of loose cables, lubrication of plate guides, and reupholstering of benches and protectors.

Extending the Useful Life

"These actions ensure that the machines are kept in optimal conditions, extending their useful life and providing greater safety to athletes," López emphasized, noting that the City Council "continues to advance its program for improving municipal sports facilities, which includes equipment renewal, track rehabilitation, and modernization of spaces designated for sports practice." In this regard, he mentioned that this plan includes progressive actions in sports centers, gyms, and outdoor venues, with the aim of maintaining safe, accessible, and suitable infrastructure for public use.

For his part, Vieytes added that in these facilities, other actions have also been carried out, including the repair of various floor mats in the aerobic room, installation of wall-anchored boards and varnished cork lining for hanging various weight bar grips and presses, and the replacement of about thirty fluorescent screens with warm white LED lights.

In this sense, he remarked that with these actions, the City Council "reinforces its commitment to local sports and the conservation of public spaces, ensuring that municipal facilities are kept in the best conditions for daily use and contributing to the well-being and sports practice of the residents of Marbella." Finally, he noted that these interventions "also arise from the conversation of the Sports delegation with the users and workers of the municipal gym."
