Gym and Fitness Center Cleaning Checklist
A cleaning scope for a gym or fitness center, room by room, with the locker rooms done every visit.
How to use it
- Cross out what you don't need and add anything special to your building.
- Attach it to your janitorial RFP, and give every company the same copy so the proposals price the same work.
- Walk through the building with each company using it, and keep it as the scope in the contract.

Usually not included
Price these separately if you need them:
- Equipment repair and maintenance
- Towel laundry
- Pool and spa water care
- Wiping equipment between members during open hours
Worth knowing
- 24-hour gyms need cleaning while members work out, so agree the hours with the lowest traffic.
- Ask that disinfectants on upholstered pads follow the equipment maker's guidance, so the vinyl doesn't crack.
