A few months ago, we talked about steps to keep gyms and fitness centers clean. But this time, let’s focus in on gym equipment. How should you keep the gym equipment itself clean? Think about your members; keeping their equipment is one of the cardinal rules to keep them coming back. Read on to learn more about ways to keep gym equipment clean!
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.
Read Up on the Manuals
Check the manufacturer’s manuals. Not only will this help you know how to keep it best maintained, you can also brush up on what cleaning solutions are best for use on certain machines and other related gym equipment. The manuals will also guide you on how long it will take and how many employees or outsourced cleaners it will take to clean and repair your equipment.
Constantly Disinfect and Wipe It Down
As always, you will want to constantly disinfect and wipe down your equipment. This way, you can prevent the spread of disease amongst your customers and staff. Sickness will damage both your reputation, and your level of business, so this step is just as important as the others.
