Day-to-day operating brief

What Cleaner (Gym maintenance) work looks like in practice

A Gym Cleaner maintains exercise floors, studios, changing facilities and shared equipment while members continue to use the site. Terms should identify zones, shift timing, barriers, equipment-safe products, showers and drains, bodily-fluid response, laundry or towels, waste, chemicals, machinery, ventilation, lone working, found property and the boundary between cleaning and technical equipment maintenance. Gym cleaning must fit around members, moving machinery and high-contact equipment without creating new hazards. The cleaner needs agreed access to studios, changing rooms and staff-only plant areas, with clear boundaries around dismantling or repairing fitness equipment. Sweat, sharps, bodily-fluid spills, wet floors and chemical use each require a defined procedure. Employers should specify isolation signage, COSHH information where applicable, laundry and waste arrangements, cleaning frequencies, privacy in changing areas, lone-working alarms, fault tagging and the handover of a treadmill, cable or bench that appears unsafe rather than returning it to service.

  • Clean gym and changing areas.
  • Use suitable products on equipment.
  • Isolate wet or contaminated zones.
  • Manage waste laundry and supplies.
