IN THIS ISSUE
We at Gym Tech, hope this letter finds you well, and that you
are enjoying the beginning of a New Year.
Gym Tech would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that
the winter months are the busiest time for fitness centers. The equip-
ment endures the hardest workout during the next few months. It is also
the time of year when snow, salts, sand, and other substances get tracked
into the fitness center and unfortunately usually all over the equipment. It
is very important to step up your cleaning routine and make sure you are
performing maintenance on the equipment during this time. Salt especially
is extremely harmful to your equipment. It causes rust, and when it gets
into units causes all kinds of damage if not cleaned and removed.
Try your best to have the people using the equipment clean their shoes before stepping on, into or through the equip-
ment. This is especially true and most important for Treadmill equipment. Running belts see the most wear and tear
during the winter not only because it is the busiest time of year but also because people are damaging the running
belts with all of the winter grime they track with their shoes.
For these next wintery months, make sure that personal and equipment safety is a priority. It will prevent injuries,
and damages to your equipment.
We hope you all have a great start to a New Year!
Sincerely,
The Gym Tech Team
