In the hospitality industry, you’re in the business of putting your guests first. At TRUE, we are focused on supporting you, our valued customers. In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we understand safety and cleanliness are of the utmost concern. Read on to learn more about our hospitality equipment cleaning recommendations.
Today we are sharing approved cleaning products and best practices for your TRUE Fitness cardio and strength equipment. Please note, there is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting your equipment.
According to the CDC:
First, wash surfaces on the machine to remove germs. Apply the cleaner to a clean cloth and use to wipe down equipment. Avoid spraying any cleaner directly onto equipment to prevent entering openings and causing corrosion or damage to electrical components.
Use only approved cleaners and dilute properly. Using other solutions or incorrect dilutions may result in corrosion and/or damage to your equipment including dulling of the finish. Disinfectant products may require remaining on the surface for a certain period of time (i.e. 3-5 minutes) but be sure to wipe off after this period of time to ensure it does not corrode or damage the product. Never use Windex®, glass cleaners, ammonia, alcohol, petrol, or chemical products on plexiglass weight stack guards. Never use solvents such as lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, or acetone on painted products.

We understand that many guests are looking to stay fit from the comfort of their room or suite. TRUE offers Fitness In a Bag, which is available for purchase through your TRUE sales representative. In this convenient option that can be rented from the front desk or your fitness studio, guests will have access to:
Each bag should be carefully sanitized between uses, and Gym Wipes™ Antibacterial Wipes should be available for guests’ use.
An additional option is to offer your TRUE cardio equipment to your guests outside of your fitness facility. Provide a premium in-room spinning experience on your TRUE Fitness bikes or treadmills, which can be set up in members’ rooms upon arrival. Paired with fitness accessories such as kettlebells, medicine and stability balls, TRX straps, and foam rollers, your guests will be able to have a full workout experience in the safety and comfort of their room or suite.
