According to a national survey, ninety-one percent of Americans with New Year’s resolutions in the past made one related to fitness. This same survey reports that more than half (54 percent) of those who made health and wellness resolutions wanted to stick with a fitness routine.1 For many fitness facilities, this means that they can predict the new year will start with a rush of people in the gym.
Making sure your facility is clean, organized, and that your equipment and accessories are in good working order will help newcomers feel welcomed and motivated. It also helps to ensure your loyal regulars stay happy, since they likely will need to adjust to a crowded space and sharing equipment with more people. Get ahead of any potential issues that may impact the experience at your facility by preparing for the new year’s fitness rush now.
1. Service Your Equipment
A packed gym means you can expect that every piece of your fitness equipment will be utilized. Having to wait for extended periods of time because several machines are broken or not working properly can be frustrating and demotivating. Moreover, broken equipment is dangerous and can cause serious injuries. Keep your gym in working order 24/7 by partnering with a commercial fitness equipment repair service provider who can perform:
- Inspections
- Troubleshooting
- Cleanings and Lubrications
- Adjustments
- Relocations
- Parts Replacements
- Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance checks on equipment helps to minimize future repairs, keep you informed of the condition of your equipment, and extend its working life. Comm-Fit’s Preventative Maintenance Agreement Program (PMA) is designed to keep your equipment operating safely and efficiently.
2. Purchase New Equipment and Accessories
Before the new year begins, evaluate your fitness equipment. Is it outdated or just plain worn out? Should you upgrade? Could you use a few more pieces to accommodate the new year’s rush? Ensure your fitness community has the equipment they need to reach their goals and stay healthy. Adding lower-cost accessory items to your offering, like kettle, medicine, and balance balls, provides additional training options for anyone waiting on an occupied machine.

3. Stock Up on Disinfection Products
With the influx of traffic, equipment, locker rooms, restrooms, and classrooms will all see an increase in use, which means an increase in germs. A clean facility free of harmful viruses and bacteria is vital in protecting the overall health and wellness of your community. It also helps people feel safe and comfortable utilizing your equipment and facility. Implement a cleaning and sanitation process that applies:
- Disinfectants
- Wipes
- Hand sanitizers
- Dispensers
This is a proven method of keeping your facility clean and safe, while protecting the wellness of those who use it.
