Gyms & Fitness Studios Air Filtration

Hard Breathing Makes Air Quality Matter More

A gym's air problem is unusual, because the people in it are breathing several times harder than they would anywhere else.

During heavy training, a person takes in far more air per minute than at rest, which means whatever is in the room gets inhaled at a much higher rate. Sweat and body odor build up fast in group fitness rooms and cardio areas. Rubber flooring, foam mats, and new equipment give off VOCs as they off-gas, which is strongest in the first few weeks after installation. Foot traffic and dropped weights kick settled dust and chalk back into the air. And in a packed class with limited ventilation, carbon dioxide climbs quickly, leaving the room feeling stale and stuffy.

Signs Members Are Noticing Before You Are

• The room smells of sweat even after cleaning

• New rubber flooring still has a strong smell weeks after install

• Group fitness rooms feel stuffy by the end of a class

• Members have mentioned the air quality in reviews or feedback

• Cardio and free weight areas stay humid and warm

• Your studio is small, in a basement, or has no outside windows

Odor, VOC, and Dust Control for Busy Rooms

Electrocorp combines activated carbon with HEPA level filtration to cover what a gym actually generates. The carbon stage pulls sweat odor and the VOCs off-gassing from rubber flooring and equipment out of the air. The HEPA stage catches chalk, dust, and fine particles stirred up by foot traffic and dropped weights. Units are sized for group fitness rooms, weight floors, or locker areas, wherever the air turns over slowest.
