Hygiene in gyms has always been a huge concern, but now it’s even more critical to have up-to-date solutions when dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic. Facilities should not only make sure they adhere to the set Covid 19 guidelines, but they actively take part in protecting their clients and even employees from infections.

How to Tackle the Issue

There is a need to go for bespoke fabrications for gyms to tackle the hygiene issue. Doing so will create a more personalised changing room and locker space that meets the client’s needs. You can reduce the locker space and remodel it into cubicles that fit one individual at a time.

This enhances the social distancing efforts preventing a lot of socialisation when in the changing rooms. It also makes it easier to maintain high hygiene standards.

The design and materials used in this environment will also matter. You need to clean and sanitise after every customer. It means you might clean the space, furniture, and lockers more than five times, depending on how busy the gym is.

To achieve this, go for materials that are easy to clean and can withstand harsh chemicals. Choose fabrics that don’t get wet or absorb moisture when cleaning. You can take inspiration from hospitals and other clinical environments to create the best gym changing rooms and locker space.

What you need to think about!

A bespoke fabrication will enable you to utilise unique materials that will allow you to achieve hygiene in gyms. Bespoke fabrications always help you create extensive/small features such as lockers and cubicles that meet your specific needs.

Take Expert Advice

Here at BRAC Projects we have years of knowledge in furniture fabrication and creating the solutions for the right space’s clients have and their needs. Working with you, your architect or gym designer we can establish the demands on your changing area and deliver the right solution.

Understanding use of the space and the type of clients you have plus the space available will enable us to fabricate the toilet cubicles, changing areas, locker space and shower areas that are right for you on all levels. All these areas need in general different materials, usage on lockers is very different to usage of the shower cubicles.

Failure to understand the gym changing area can result in short term success and long term failure plus additional costs with ongoing maintenance and repair. Your materials need to be up to the new rigorous cleaning regime that many now impose post COVID pandemic.

In summary make sure you use the right materials, understand the space and fabricate a solution that fits every need from the clients using the space to the building that contains the changing area.
