Discover 9 ways to improve your gym's environment

Today, the environmental aspect of business has been at the heart of debates for several years now. Whether it's respecting nature or reducing waste of all kinds, a large number of people are taking the lead and choosing brands and companies that are committed to a dynamic that respects the environment.

It's a fact: the younger customers are, the more they'll be looking for products and companies in line with their values, and we explain all about this new aspect in this article by AZEOO.

1. Recycling is not optional

It's a good idea to teach your staff and encourage your customers to sort their garbage. You'll be able to recycle green waste, cardboard, plastic and other metals, giving them a second life. Don't forget to place garbage cans with specific signs.

2. Think eco-friendly

The simplest solution is often to favor quality or the most competitive price. However, to make your gym more environmentally friendly, consider equipment made from natural materials. This can range from yoga mats (avoiding PVC ones) to environmentally-friendly cleaning products.

3. Reduce water wastage

By innovating your showers, toilets and sinks, you can drastically reduce the amount of water needed to run your room. This is good for both the environment and your wallet!

4. Avoid plastic packaging

It's not exactly news, but plastic packaging is a major source of pollution, even if it is recycled. So opt for solid, multi-use containers (reusable bottles, cloth bags, etc.).

5. Efficient temperature and electricity control

In addition to generating additional costs, lighting in gyms is often poorly thought out. Installing LEDs can reduce costs by an average of 20 to 30%. The same applies to heating: you need to think about adjusting it or investing in an intelligent system.

6. Forget paper

It may come as a surprise, but paper represents a certain amount of waste and pollution. By using digital means, you can save paper and be more eco-friendly!

7. Install energy-efficient equipment

Some companies offer sports machines that consume less energy. Think about it.

8. Think local and organic

If you're offering juices or other products, think short supply chains and buy local, which will reduce your carbon footprint and support local businesses and traders.

9. Build relationships with reliable partners

For the sake of your image and that of your company, avoid changing sponsors or collaborators so as not to give your company a bad ecological image (this may be related, yes...).
