Treadmills, balance balls, towel collection areas and weightlifting apparatus are just a few of the surfaces where millions of microbes like to grow.
Workouts at facilities that use antimicrobial light to kill* bacteria…
work out well.
Bringing People Back to the Gym
Athletic facilities are ideal for the proliferation of invisible common germs. They can grow exponentially and can be hazardous to our health. Especially now, with everyone’s increased awareness of microbes, indoor workout spaces must be kept cleaner than ever to avoid illnesses and help us all feel more comfortable in our workout places.
Flip A Switch To Kill* Bacteria
Vyv antimicrobial overhead lighting gives professional, college, amateur athletes and weekend warriors clean spaces to work out and exercise. Vyv continuously protects and illuminates these environments while they are in use; and then continue their antimicrobial action long after everyone’s gone.
*MRSA and E. coli showed 90%+ reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 24 hours.
Vyv is a Team Player
Antimicrobial lighting is especially important for revenue-producing athletic programs at the collegiate and professional levels. The more that can be done to keep athletes in peak shape and on the field, court or ice, the better. Vyv works with professional sports teams, college programs and fitness centers to prevent the amount of microorganisms that athletics can come in contact with while working out in the gym!
Working Throughout Workout Facilities
In addition to the actual workout areas, Vyv lights up physical therapy rooms and whirlpool areas, as well as administrative and lounge areas. Working with Vyv, athletic facilities are taking a proactive multi-layered approach to cleaning by continuously killing* bacteria and preventing growth. Vyv antimicrobial white light is an important part of their investment.
A Clean Gym Leads to Happy Members
The last thing members of a gym want to worry about is the cleanliness of the equipment they use. It goes way beyond wiping down with a towel. Gyms can protect their equipment 24/7 using Vyv antimicrobial light.
Vyv is the ideal foundation for a multi-layered antimicrobial defense system. Because Vyv works around the clock, even when facilities are closed, you get a new kind of clean that reduces microbial buildup, even in the hardest to reach spaces.
