Gyms should be deep cleaned regularly to maintain a healthy and safe environment for members. The frequency can vary depending on the size of the gym, the number of members, and the type of equipment.

Here’s a general guideline…

• Weekly Deep Cleaning – This is a good baseline for most gyms. It includes a thorough cleaning of all surfaces (including floors, walls, and high-touch areas), equipment sanitization, and disinfecting restrooms and locker rooms.
• Monthly or Bi-Monthly – For larger gyms or those with higher foot traffic, more frequent deep cleanings (such as once a month) may be necessary. This can help tackle things like air ducts, behind equipment, and less-visible areas that accumulate dust or grime over time.
• Post-High-Traffic Periods – During certain times (like right after peak hours, or when classes are over), a quick spot cleaning and disinfecting might be necessary. You could do this daily or multiple times a day in high-traffic areas.
• Special Circumstances – If there’s a health-related issue (like a flu outbreak or a COVID-19 scare), deep cleaning should be done more frequently and include specialized disinfection procedures.

Regular cleaning during the day (like wiping down machines and surfaces between uses) should be done too, but the deep cleaning ensures that hidden germs and grime don’t build up.
