Insights from Research into Gym Cleanliness

In June 2008, the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) launched a research program to explore the ways in which perceptions of health club cleanliness have become an important part in retaining members. Their goal was to understand how club cleanliness affects member usage, retention and in-centre spending. The project found that members are more likely to renew, recommend and increase the use of fee based services and programs when they perceive the club to be clean. The report states that “A clubs cleanliness is a vital part of its operational, social and financial success.” You can find a copy of the report here.

All gym and health club operators understand the importance of gym cleaning but are also aware of the costs involved. If you see cleaning as just another expense, think again. Research has shown that cleaning is more of an investment than an expense and will result in stronger growth and overall performance. So, rather than trying to sharpen the pencil with your cleaners, sharpen the schedule to ensure you are getting bang for your buck. It pays (literally) to spend a little bit more to get a higher quality clean.

Health Clubs are a breeding ground for bacteria due to the high level of skin contact and sweating.

Regular sanitisation is crucial to minimise any risk of contamination:

Provide anti-bacterial wipes and hand sanitiser at close range to every piece of equipment throughout your club

Encourage your members to use them after using every piece of equipment

Wiping the vinyl sweat areas and hand areas of the equipment after use can greatly reduce the risk of spreading infection.

Provide anti-bacterial soap in the bathrooms for hands and anti-bacterial body wash in the showers will further reduce this risk.

Not only will it reduce the risk of sickness, your club will rate much higher with your members for cleanliness and it will make it very convenient. In providing these facilities, be sure your staff and cleaners regularly replenish them so that they are always available. If the dispensers are there but are empty, this will discourage the use of them and if empty for too long, members will not use them at all.

At Cleaning Edge Solutions, we are committed to ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and sanitisation are maintained at all times at your gym or fitness facility.

We know the importance of hygiene in this type of environment and we have what it takes to deliver a superior service so that you can focus on the more important aspect of your club, having your members contribute to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, keeping them happy and growing your membership base.
