ADMINISTRATIVE SPORTS SHORTS
A
number of members have recently asked about our cleaning routines around the Exercise and Conditioning Room and studios. It is a fair question given the level of use these spaces receive on a Ed Stoner daily basis, and one ATHLETIC DIRECTOR staff does not take lightly given the possible outcomes, especially during cold and flu seasons. That is why all of the equipment in the E&C Room gets a full wipe down each night, and part of the reason we have a position on most weekday mornings wiping down and inspecting the equipment in these areas as well. We also do monthly deep cleans and quarterly cleaning and laundering of the mats, weights and blankets used in these spaces. Staff continues to explore ways in which to keep these areas and equipment as clean as possible, while being good stewards of your dues. Yet, as much as staff does, cleanliness is everybody’s business too. As Von Goethe said, “Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.” It is with this thought in mind that we start a pilot program in the E&C Ledge and Spin Studio to help keep these areas as clean as possible. We are installing cleaning caddies on each of the pieces of cardio equipment on the Ledge, which hold a towel and spray bottle for wiping down the equipment before and after any use. There is also a stand of spray bottles and a stack of towels dedicated for wiping down the spin bikes after each use; and, there are additional containers with cleaning wipes around the E&C Room and studios. So while the equipment, mats and weights continue to receive their daily, monthly and quarterly cleanings, if you feel they are not, there should be a handy option to address it; or, at least a clean, dry towel you can use to cover them during your workout. I look forward to seeing you around the club this month, and hope you will do your part to keep it clean while you enjoy the rest of your summer. WM
