I owned a high-end gym for 16 years and I can tell you that cardio machines take quite a beating and they are always needing maintenance. If a gym does it properly (which I never did) you NEVER have broken machines on the floor. You keep back-ups in a storage and as soon as you have a break-down you replace the broken machine with your spare and get the treadmill (or whatever) fixed. You need to have a bit more cash-flow than I did though. It's just tough, that's all.
