Sweat, Germs & Grime — A Triple Threat

Your home gym is a magnet for bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Think about it — sweat drips onto equipment, mats absorb bacteria, and high-touch surfaces like dumbbells and resistance bands are rarely disinfected as thoroughly as they should be. A quick wipe-down won’t cut it.

The Impact on Your Health & Performance

A clean space fuels a clean mindset. 🧠 When your workout space is fresh and sanitized, your mental clarity and motivation skyrocket. Not to mention, it reduces the risk of skin irritations, respiratory issues, and illness — especially important if you’re sharing the space with family.

Pro Tips for Maintaining a Spotless Home Gym 💪
