Gym & Fitness Center Cleaning
Specialize in cleaning gyms, fitness studios, and recreation centers handling equipment sanitizing and high-use facility maintenance
Overview
Gym and fitness cleaning specialists maintain gyms, fitness studios, yoga studios, and recreation facilities - sanitizing equipment, cleaning locker rooms, maintaining workout areas, and handling high-use spaces.
Fitness facilities require frequent cleaning and sanitation.
Services range from $600-$4,000 monthly per facility or day porter services at $15-$25 hourly.
Servicing 15-40 fitness facilities generates $90,000-$300,000 annually with 40-55% margins.
Target clients include commercial gyms and fitness centers, boutique fitness studios (yoga, CrossFit, cycling), recreation centers and YMCAs, apartment complex fitness centers, hotel fitness facilities, and personal training studios.
Services include exercise equipment sanitizing, locker room and shower cleaning, floor care in workout areas, mirror and glass cleaning, trash and laundry, and potentially day porter services during operating hours.
Success requires understanding fitness facility needs, working around member traffic and peak hours, potentially providing day porter services, using gym-safe disinfectants and cleaners, reliable quality for health-conscious environment, and building relationships with fitness operators.
Many gym cleaning services offer multiple daily cleaning visits for 24-hour gyms, provide day porter services wiping equipment throughout day, use eco-friendly products for health-conscious clients, potentially offer COVID-focused disinfection services, work with franchised gym chains, and build reputation through clean healthy facilities.
