Gyms & Wellness

Gyms, yoga and Pilates studios and spas are built to make people healthier, but they are demanding indoor environments. Members train close together, breathe several times more air than at rest, largely through the mouth, and share mats, equipment and changing rooms all day.

The research is consistent. A study of 16 fitness facilities in the United States found Staphylococcus aureus on 38% of the surfaces sampled, and 30% of those isolates were MRSA (BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019). A study of 11 fitness centres in Lisbon found CO₂, VOCs and formaldehyde above national limits, with inadequate ventilation in most (Building and Environment, 2014).

Moisture is the bigger problem. Showers, steam rooms, saunas and pool areas add humidity to the air for the whole operating day, and warm, damp surfaces are where mould and bacteria establish. A 2026 review by Canada's National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health notes that the humid conditions in steam rooms are an ideal environment for fungal growth, and that benches, floors, walls and door handles have all been found contaminated. Hot yoga studios hold the same warmth and humidity, with mats and props in constant skin contact.

Cleaning between classes cannot keep up. Our technology treats the air and exposed surfaces continuously, around the clock, reducing bacteria, viruses, mould and odours between cleaning cycles and through the busiest hours, and helping keep growth out of the air conditioning that serves the wet areas.

For operators positioned around wellness, recovery and longevity, the air is the one thing every member consumes continuously. A fresher changing room and a cleaner studio are noticed immediately, and it is a standard you can evidence.
