New Sanitation Stations in our gyms
We’ve refreshed our gym cleaning process to help keep our space healthier, safer, and feeling great for everyone.
You’ll now find our new Sanitation Stations around the gym — simply grab a paper towel, spray the towel first, and wipe down your kit after use. Please use only what you need, so there’s plenty to go around for everyone. 🧼
It’s quick, easy, and helps us all train in a cleaner, more comfortable environment. Thanks for doing your part!
