Why Gyms in Sydney Lose Members Over Dirty Spaces (and Don’t Even Know It)

Sweaty gyms = expected. Dirty gyms = cancelled memberships.

We clean over a dozen fitness studios across Sydney and here’s what we’ve learned:

🧪 Gym Cleaning Case Study: Marrickville Fitness

• Losing ~7 members/month

• 1-star Google reviews mentioned “gross smell” and “dirty floors”

• Ultrix implemented 3x weekly clean + scented, eco-safe fogging

• Result: 5-star reviews up, retention loss cut by 60%

📉 Data Doesn’t Lie

• 41% of gym-goers quit over perceived hygiene issues (IHRSA 2024)

• 1 in 3 cancel if locker rooms feel unsanitary

• 80% say they’d pay more for a gym that “smells clean”

🧼 What Ultrix Cleans That Others Don’t

• Under mats and behind mirrors

• Equipment bolts, plates, and grip handles

• Sauna benches and tile grout

• Fans, vents, and lighting tracks
