In a New York Times article published on November 1, 2007, health officials report that MRSA can be contracted from a gym environment. Because bacteria can live on surfaces for an indefinite period, some gyms have increased their cleaning measures in order to protect their clientele. Most of the bigger chains, like Equinox and The Sports Club/LA, have not revised their cleaning policies in response to the recent MRSA scare. These clubs regularly provide hand sanitizer or wipes, spray equipment twice a day and provide clean towels. But most gyms ignore the other fitness equipment that harbor dangerous bacteria, such as yoga/exercise mats and community boxing gloves. Super Clean disinfects the mats and boxing gloves of certain pilates/yoga studios and gyms within the Los Angeles area. To see a list of these gyms and patronize these "Super Clean" establishments, please contact Super Clean at 310.808.1080. To read more from the NY Times article, click here.
