I’m getting my workout room ready for delivery of a Bike+, and later a Tread+. How are members keep their rooms smelling fresh? Do you recommended a particular room air freshener spray, essential oils, or an air purifier? Other ideas? This is aside from routine equipment and mat cleaning.

Thanks,
BB

Best thing you can have for a workout room is proper air circulation. If it gets humid or muggy and the air is stagnant, you're gonna have issues with smells, no matter what you try. If you have good air circulation, you can add a dehumidifier to help increase drying times. You can also get an air ionizer, which helps to some level. Also, doesn't hurt to get those plug in fresheners, but those are scented.

Thanks for your reply. Do you use a fan when riding the bike? If so, is there one that you recommend? I’m looking for one that has a remote. There are so many choices; tower fans, floor fans, pedestal fans, etc.

I do. I use a tower fan that oscillates. Has a remote as well. Nothing fancy.

Someone posted a link to this lasko fan on Amazon. I ordered it and it works well - pretty quiet and windy. I put it right in front of the bike.

I would make sure to use a mat and clean it periodically as even with a fan you will sweat a lot! We also use wipex wipes to wipe down the seat, handlebars, frame, etc. after each workout which keeps it smelling nice.
