I'd bet it's 99.99% the sheer amount of usage and the lack of proper maintenance, assuming it's quality machines being bought. I have to, at home, tighten/adjust/maintain my stuff regularly with only one person using it lightly. It has moving parts. They move a lot in a gym, with many people going all sorts of speeds and resistances. It's a lazy gym that isn't taking care of them or have proper maintenance contracts.
Come on, you don't blame the fact that you need an oil change so often on the fat driver. It needs to happen, and if it doesn't things get broke.
Maybe it's the medication talking, but it sounds to me like a shitty thing to blame fat people for broken cardio equipment. If the machines have that low a weight limit, the gym is stupid for getting them. That's just rude and stupid.
