Gym Sanitation Policy

I. Introduction

At our gym, we prioritize the health and safety of our members and staff. The purpose of this Sanitation Policy is to outline our commitment to maintaining a clean and hygienic environment throughout our facilities. This policy applies to all areas within our gym premises, including workout areas, locker rooms, restrooms, and common areas.

II. Daily Cleaning Procedures

We conduct thorough daily cleaning procedures to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of our facilities:

• Gym Equipment: All gym equipment, including cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights, is cleaned and disinfected daily to prevent the spread of germs and maintain equipment longevity.
  

• Locker Rooms and Restrooms: Locker rooms and restrooms are cleaned multiple times a day with attention to high-touch surfaces such as door handles, faucets, and restroom fixtures.
  

• Common Areas: Common areas such as reception desks, waiting areas, and corridors are cleaned and sanitized regularly to maintain a welcoming and safe environment for our members and visitors.

III. Use of Cleaning Products

We utilize the following approved disinfectants and adhere to proper dilution and application techniques to maximize effectiveness:

1. Disinfectant A

   • Dilution: Dilute 1 part disinfectant to 10 parts water (1:10 ratio).

   • Application: Apply the diluted solution using a clean cloth or mop. Ensure thorough coverage of surfaces and allow the solution to air dry for optimal disinfection.
     

2. Disinfectant B

   • Dilution: Dilute 1 part disinfectant to 5 parts water (1:5 ratio).

   • Application: Spray the diluted solution directly onto surfaces or apply with a clean sponge. Wipe down surfaces and allow to air dry for effective disinfection.
     

3. Disinfectant C

   • Dilution: Ready-to-use (no dilution required).

   • Application: Spray the disinfectant directly onto surfaces and allow it to remain wet for the specified contact time as per manufacturer instructions. Wipe off excess solution if necessary.

These disinfectants are selected for their effectiveness against a wide range of bacteria and viruses, including but not limited to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus), ensuring a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene in our gym facilities.
