To ensure a clean workout in your gym, you need not only regular basic cleaning, but also the right hygiene products. This enables your guests to take responsibility for the cleanliness of the equipment.
And just as exercisers carry their own towels, they also appreciate hygiene items at the gym. In our guide, we'll show you what you need and how to give your guests a workout they'll feel good about. 
These hygiene products are mandatory in the gym
For exercisers, a visit to the gym doesn't just start with the warm-up, but already in the locker room. Always make sure that your guests have hand soap available from the soap dispenser. Especially during cold season, a sanitizer dispenser in the restrooms can also be a good idea - not mandatory, but many guests appreciate being able to sanitize their hands before and after training.
To keep freshly washed hands from getting wet towels, you should also provide a hygienic solution for drying
.This can be dispensers of disposable towels or a hot air blower. The latter is more ecological and requires less maintenance.
Also, remember to have sanitary bags posted in the ladies' restrooms
.A nice bonus for your guests is to put dispensers with shower gel and shampoo
in the showers. Not all gyms offer this and it won't cost you much, but after a hard workout your customers will appreciate it.As for hygiene items in the gym, you definitely need disposable wipes and disinfectant or else glass and surface cleaner or a vinegar-based cleaner
. This is what visitors use to clean their cardio equipment after a workout, and it's established as a good practice in almost all gyms. After all, no one wants to get into the sweat of the person in front of them.Make sure that you use a cleaner from a spray bottle
as the cleaning agent. Of course, this doesn't mean you have to have the equipment cleaned less often, but it does a lot for the immediate comfort of your customers.
