For gym operators, in addition to increasing profits by increasing members, they also need to consider how to save operating costs. Open source and throttling both hands can better ensure that the benefits are maximized. When it comes to saving operating costs, many operators overlook the point that it is the expense of maintaining fitness equipment and reducing equipment wear.
Many gym operators have a hand in buying fitness equipment, they compare different brands and conduct market research. However, once they bought the equipment, they turned a blind eye to them. Operators threw manuals into drawers and never thought of how to keep these devices in good working condition until they broke down.
To make matters worse, improper operation of some gym equipment has accelerated the aging of the equipment. Examples are endless: the power supply of the equipment is not satisfactory; the use of a watering can filled with a detergent that can corrode paint and cause the device to rust; or allow sweaty shoes or boots to be placed on the device. Here are some ways to help your gym maintain your equipment.
There are a few simple things people can do to avoid these errors and keep the gym equipment running.
Sufficient power
Proper power supply is a necessary condition for the normal use of the equipment. Before you install the gym equipment, you must make sure that there is a power socket in the corresponding place. For a treadmill, each terminal should be 20 amps and there should be one line per device. Otherwise, one unit will snatch power from the next unit and damage the driver board. Before installing the fitness equipment in the gym, ask an electrician to design the installation drawing.
Away from
Another common problem is caused by people's kindness. Some operators have spray cans filled with a medication, and the label above reminds people: "As a courtesy to the next user, spray the spray on the device." This has two negative consequences. For one, gymnasts spill these liquids and even dump them on the treadmill display. Liquid dripping under the plastic can cause a short circuit. Second, the chemicals in the watering can can be mixed with sweat to create a carrier of potentially corrosive substances. Many cleaning products contain ammonia, a chemical. Ammonia is very corrosive. Do not use ammonia. Other products like towels are more suitable for cleaning equipment.
Formulate and implement rules
Making rules can help you maintain your gym equipment. For example, members are not allowed to wear shoes or boots to enter the gym, especially in snowy or icey weather. Sand and salt are very corrosive. Because when people enter the gym and sit on the equipment, the shoes become part of the movement, causing unnecessary wear and tear. Similarly, food should not be present anywhere in the gym. Spilled soda or juice can make the device dirty.
Rational design
Different placements will affect the life of the equipment. Keep all live equipment away from water and moisture. This will not shorten the equipment life.
Send message
In addition to designing a practical facility, some gym owners want to convey a message through design. In the long run, this information can help them run their facilities smoothly. A gold gym owner said that in the process of designing his fitness facilities, he intentionally established a high-quality and style through the fine decoration. He has a private dressing room, granite workbench, soap and dryer. He sees these as part of a good "gymniquette".
The boss and his employees uphold the concept of building good impressions with good examples. They put things back in place 3 times a day, check the power equipment wires, and check the fitness equipment to avoid unnecessary trouble. He said that when people see their hard work, they understand that they need to keep order. Some members take notes. "The thing you don't want to see is that the members did not put the 70 kg dumbbells in place," he said.
The boss's receptionist also cleans up. "We have a rolling cleaning table. The janitor at night only needs to clean the cloakroom," he said, even as a boss. Wake said: "I would grab mops, scrub floors, and use floor wax with employees. However, when people see these, they also see the pride of the owner, so their expectations are higher and the quality requirements Would be higher. "
Stop inefficient cleaning habits
Part of the problem is caused by the way the gym is cleaned. When cleaning equipment, cleaning of parts is important. People usually wipe down along the display, then the foot pedal. But they rarely wipe the important parts. The treadmill (under the treadmill track) should be thoroughly cleaned.
Each facility owner should sign a maintenance contract with another company or hire someone as an employee to ensure that someone knows the product inspection and can clean them. Such technicians are able to detect weak or damaged parts before wear and tear damage the machine or endanger the user.
For the maintenance of gym equipment, not only can reduce the chance of accidents, but also protect your expensive investment. Therefore, maintaining fitness equipment is not a waste of money but a saving for you. What's more, you only need to implement the above points, I believe the benefits you will actually feel!
