Keep Gym Equipment Clean
Your members, especially your most loyal and dedicated, are bound to break a sweat while using your machines. It should go without saying, but the most important thing you can do is just keep gym equipment clean.
Have your staff perform basic cleaning tasks at set intervals. They can also keep an eye out if minor repairs become necessary. If you provide small towels for your members, make sure that they actually use it to wipe down the machines both before they start and after they are done using them.
Observe What Equipment is Most Popular
Make sure to observe what equipment is the most popular. Generally, the most commonly used pieces of equipment are those that facilitate cardiovascular and resistance training. For these machines, have your stuff check on their condition and test for repairs more often. Are there small repairs that are needed? What about a total replacement? Keeping gym equipment clean is the first, most basic step to keeping them in good condition.
