How to maintain apartment clubhouse and gym?
Maintaining apartment gymnasiums and club house becomes an aspect of utmost importance.
Most modern day townships and apartment complexes are judged by the kind of civic and social amenities attached. Gymnasiums and club house are part of the most standard amenities provided by a large number of builders.

Keeping a record in black in white is the best way to fix a dedicated time for the next maintenance schedule. The maintenance record is also a useful tool in keeping all gym equipment in top shape. Along with the workout machines and dedicated gym equipment like weights and furniture, gymnasium maintenance record must have a log for electrical and electronic alliances within the gym including air conditioning, shower areas, aerobic workout floors and other associated areas.
Watch Equipment Warranty: All modern gymnasiums and clubhouses these days are equipped with state of the art international workout machines including steppers, treadmills and other sophisticated machines. It is imperative to keep a record of the warranty details for each such machine to avoid any unnecessary expense by ignoring the warranty period. Gym members must be encouraged by the gymnasium management team to report any problems associated with any of the equipment for early detection and resolution.
Focus on Cleaning and Oiling: Having good machinery and state of the art gym ambiance is one thing, but maintaining them effectively is quite another. Even the best of gym areas with top notch sophisticated machinery can soon end up as an old hog if not maintained properly. All gym users must be instructed to clean the equipment of any sweat after their use. Cleanliness and maintenance needs to be embed to the bottom and if each user does his or her bit, managing cleanliness and overall gym maintenance would be a swift breeze. Apart from regular cleaning, oiling of all machines must be carried out as per the maintenance record or the machinery manual.
Have a Monthly Maintenance Workshop: The gym management committee is recommended to conduct a monthly maintenance workshop inviting volunteers who use the gym to come forward and undertake the cleaning and maintenance process every month. Special rewards and schemes can be introduced for the team members involved in the maintenance workshops. Such community maintenance workshops not only help keep the gym machines and other equipment clear of any technical glitches but also helps gym members bond as a social community.
