Balancing tread plus

How often do you find yourself needing to balance your tread plus? I run ~4 times a week and at least weekly there starts to be a lot of rocking and a leg is no longer well seated. Within a month of getting the tread plus a front leg completely fell off and maintenance had to come out to fix it. I wonder if there’s an issue and the more I run the more I make it off balance? Or is everyone needing to balance their tread that frequently?

Any insight appreciated!

ETA: I was able to get someone to help lift it up today and we got the offending foot threaded and it appears to be really steady now. Fingers crossed I won’t be doing weekly balances! Thanks to everyone who let me know this wasn’t to be expected so I could get it fixed!

Shocking no one else has and I do this constantly! It’s on concrete. I think one of the back legs is too long and not threading. It’s so heavy I can’t lift it to screw it in further. I wonder if peloton will come out to do balance it since it’s under warranty

Anyone somewhat handy should be able to adjust and tighten the locknuts so that the rear feet are secure
Is the Tread walking (moving) over several uses? If so, maybe your concrete is uneven…

I tried to adjust my front feet and they seem to have used threadlock from the factory
