Agency Facilities
Absolute Fitness has one facility. In this facility we provide all you need to have a
successful workout routine at any stage of your life, at any time of the day. We provide a
vast schedule of classes and our class schedule is always posted in each locker room, all
bulletin boards, and outside of all three multi-purpose rooms. There are a total of three
multi-purpose rooms where we hold classes, one of which has discreet access from the
Womens Center. We have strength equipment that is easily adjustable. All of the
equipment in the Womens Center is specifically designed for women. Our child care
center (available Monday through Friday from 2:30 pm until 7:30 pm) is always
supervised and has several security cameras in place. If we are open, so are our shop,
cardio theater, tanning beds, and multi-purpose rooms. If there isnt a class going on in
the multi-purpose rooms, members are free to use them for their specific fitness needs,
along with the provided equipment (yoga mats, free weights, stability balls, etc.).
such as GymWipes or a mild solution of 10% household liquid dish soap and 90%
warm water.
Frames: Wipe down with GymWipes wipes or a mild solution of car wash soap
and water, dry thoroughly. For chrome tubes or areas of heavy use apply a coat of car
wax to resist corrosion from sweat.

any perspiration from grips or painted surfaces.
Do not apply harsh solvents to displays or plastic surfaces, they may damage or
discolor.
Inspect power cords (if present) for damage in the housing or to the outlet
prongs.
On treadmills, we also recommend cleaning the belt and deck surface four times
year with a cloth.

tracking. Inspect the hardware (nuts and bolts), belt and deck for wear.
Cybex Bravo Pro Functional Trainer
o Weekly: Clean frames. Inspect the cable and handgrips and clean guide
rods. Even minor visible damage to cables on strength-training machines
is cause for immediate repair.
o Monthly: Lubricate guide rods with a Teflon spray. Check that bolts and
screws are tight and that pulleys and any other moving parts are
operating smoothly.
Free weights
One of the most common issues involving locker rooms is insufficient supervision. No
matter how great your gym members are, it only takes one person to assault someone or
cause some sort of damage or disruption. Make sure a staff member is present or
conducts a security check at regular intervals.
Shower Facilities
Where there is water, there is always the risk of a slip and fall injury, and gym members
must assume that risk. If it is exacerbated by the presence of standing water or soap,
however, thats another story. Ensure adequate drainage of all shower areas, including
walkways between showers and other facilities. Have staff keep an eye out for soap
spillage or other liquids which might make walkways slippery.
Free Weights
Exercise Machines
Have all of your machines inspected regularly for loose or frayed cables and any other
damage or impending failures. Make sure your staff is well trained on how to
decommission machines that are not in perfect working order so that a gym member
does not inadvertently attempt to use it. Make sure treadmills are strategically placed to
reduce the possibility of a gym member stumbling and being thrown into a wall (its
happened). If you cannot feasibly reposition a treadmill, at least put some padding on
the wall behind it. (Fagan, 2016)
