The best thing about my home gym is that we enjoy an odor-free space.
But it wasn’t always like that. I remember there was a time we all decided to boycott training indoors because, after the first thirty minutes, the indoor air quality became unbearable. As an HVAC professional, the gym manager called me to help him manage the air quality issues we were facing at the gym. Their HVAC system was always maintained on a home service routine which managed the air filter changes and the annual duct cleaning, but the dust and the sweaty smell were still unmanageable. They needed air purification help, and from the scale of the gym’s size, I assessed that they could do with a whole home air purification system in addition to their existing HVAC equipment. Of course, I consulted the HVAC technician team at the company before we concluded on the best air purification system to install at the gym, and we all agreed on what I had chosen. The installation was done easily because we had all the approvals, and the gym’s smart HVAC unit was not complicated. The gym was closed for a week before the installation was done, and the rest of the members resumed their activities. The thirty-minute stink mark came and passed, but the air remained fresh, which confirmed that the air purification unit had worked as we envisioned. Several more clients asked for similar units for their homes and offices. However, we recommended that the clients install a portable air purifier for the small home gym needs because the space is small and easily manageable.
