Ah, got your attention eh?
Today I am going to express the benefits of "treat your neighbour as yourself" theory as applied to the fitness club that you are a member of.
Now surely most of this is common sense and most of you already do these things without even really thinking about it, your actions are just a normal reflex.
Cleanliness in your fitness club is probably, above all, the most important element next to excellent customer service, that you can expect to see each and every time you enter your gym. Cleanliness reflects a positive image and supports confidence in the gym organization.
Cleanliness also extends to keeping equipment clean and well maintained at all times.
Basic aspects of a clean gym include:
Clean and sanitized washroom, shower and changeroom facilities
Floors that are clean and free of visible dust and grit
Glass and mirrors are free of finger prints and smudges
Adequate and maintained air circulation and temperature control
Sanitation stations ALWAYS equiped with cleaner and paper towels
Fitness equipment stored neatly off the main floor space
Not only is the gym responsible for the cleanliness of the facilities, but also the members. How is that you say?? Simple. Treat your gym like your home. Respect others who use the facility by putting away the equipment when you are finished using it. I don't know how many countless times I have been in my gym, in the womens studio area and found myself picking up equipment that I didn't use, simply because it was scattered everywhere and in the way. Its really not difficult to replace the mats and free weights back where they belong. This helps the next person find the equipment easily, and keeps the gym safe and clutter free. Which all in turn elevates the appearance of the gym to visitors and promotes a growth in membership.
So next time you visit the gym, remember to put away your "toys". You will appreciate others doing the same for you.
Until next time......don't sweat the small stuff!
