Gyms and swimming pools
Legionella outbreaks: a real bogeyman for athletes
Legionella is a bacterium that can cause an infection of the respiratory system with a variable rate of severity.
Hygiene and cleanliness in places frequented by sportsmen and sportswomen, such as gyms and swimming pools, are on the one hand an element of safety for the health of the sportsmen and sportswomen themselves, and on the other hand a factor that can strongly affect the reputation of the facility.
For those who practice sports, training in a dirty and neglected environment is not only a problem for their health, but also an inconvenience which, if it remains, will inevitably lead the athlete to change the training facility.
It is therefore necessary for those who manage a gym or swimming pool to guarantee the quality of the cleaning service, for all areas, from the common and most crowded ones to the reception area, and to plan it in such a way that it is as efficient and functional as possible. In order to avoid hindering the smooth running of sporting activities.
Of all the rooms in gyms and swimming pools, the changing rooms are undoubtedly the place where sportspeople expect the highest level of hygiene and cleanliness. Concerns about catching nasty infections, fungus or irritation from dirt create high expectations of the level of cleanliness expected, particularly of showers, sanitary facilities and floors.
It is not only contact with the floor (which is why it is recommended to always wear slippers) or the sanitary facilities that is dangerous, but also contact with contaminated gym equipment, which can trigger the formation of warts. In the majority of cases, these conditions are neither dangerous nor painful, but it is best to avoid them, also because they are difficult to resolve and time-consuming to treat.
In addition, in a crowded environment it is essential to monitor air quality, especially during the winter season, when the health conditions of visitors could favour the transmission of diseases.

Any crowded place where there is free movement of people should always be sanitised to avoid the transmission of diseases. A gym with a constant bustle of people tiring, sweating, puffing while exercising or coughing and sneezing in the changing rooms is a classic example of a place where hygiene is essential.
For those who own this type of business, it is necessary to equip themselves with the best equipment to be able to sanitise all the tools and equipment used by the sportsmen and women and to be able to clean the surfaces quickly and effectively, especially those in the busiest areas.
In this regard, the installation of a central vacuum system may be the ideal solution because it is able to suck up in the best possible way the epithelial residues, hair and all other forms of dirt that accumulate especially in the showers and changing rooms. Keeping these areas thoroughly and regularly clean maintains a healthy environment.
