All across the country the news media has a great time spreading the bad news just like below about your industry, and you may or may not have been the target at least once. It’s sad but true, this is how they earn their money, but now you have a come back, a solution, a win win situation with the Healthier Environment Living Program. No longer do you or your customers have to be afraid of the following words when introduced by the news media…..

Mutant pathogens. Germs. Super bugs. Thriving bacteria. The list of names for the microorganisms that can be found anytime, anywhere — including your club — is anything but comforting. Recent media articles and news magazine programs have brought front-and-center attention to certain microbes, especially antibiotic-resistant ones and their presence in fitness facilities. Because the common perception is that gyms are dirty, dank and dark, health clubs are a seemingly perfect place for microorganisms to thrive.

About 80% of all infectious disease is transmitted by both direct and indirect contact, says Philip Tierno, director of clinical microbiology at New York University Medical Center and the author of “The Secret Life of Germs.” That makes the gym, with its sweaty bodies in close proximity, a highly conducive environment for catching everything from athlete’s foot to the flu.

In swabs of medicine balls, for example, Tierno found samples of community-acquired MRSA — a strain of staph resistant to some antibiotics. “You take your chances,” Tierno says. “Any time you touch a medicine ball or machine, you have to know that your hands are contaminated and should be washed.”

Although the media’s attention was focused on preventing the new virulent strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA (pronounced mersa), in school gyms, some health club patrons wonder if it’s not so far-fetched to worry if they could pick up MRSA at their gyms.

And a study of sports equipment at two fitness centers in a military community published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine in 2006 showed benign bacteria and the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, were on 63 percent of equipment surfaces that had contact with hands. Weight equipment was significantly more contaminated than aerobic equipment, the study said.

So, if you own a health club or gym what are you to do…

How About Empirically Proving To Your Customers And Prospects That Your Facility Is A Healthier Environment!

Here’s how…

Take a totally different proactive approach to managing the environment inside your Health Club or Gym!

And the Healthier Environment Living Program™ is just what you need!

It makes complete sense to take a “holistic approach” to determine what kind of germs, bacteria, viruses and microorganisms are present in your Health Club before determining what type of actions are needed to keep your facility as germ and bacteria free as possible.

And your local IASQ™ Indoor Air and Surface Quality Certified Inspector Professional will do just that!

Before any “solutions” are recommended, air and surface sampling will be conducted in order to determine what type of issues that you face in your Health Club.

As soon as the test results are back from the EPA Certified Laboratory, your local IASQ™ Indoor Air and Surface Quality Certified Inspector Professional will sit down with you and go over the lab results. Based on the results received, a custom solution will be designed for your Health Club.

Your custom solution will definitely include an antimicrobial treatment with H.E.L.P.’s trademarked XMICROBE™ solution!

You see, proactively protecting your Health Club from H1N1 (swine flu virus) staph infections, MRSA, bacteria, molds and mildew is easier than ever with XMICROBE™ unique antimicrobial technology.

Our XMICROBE™ Technology offers an antimicrobial protection that works every minute of every day with just one simple application and it’s affordable and long-lasting.

XMICROBE™ Technology creates a durable bond to the surfaces (porous and non-porous) of your facility preventing further growth, spreading of bacteria and cross-contamination. Protect the clients in your facility and ease your mind as XMICROBE™ Technology works to control Microbial growth.

The antimicrobial treatment is perfect for:

Exercise Mats Locker Rooms

Bathrooms Offices

Exercise Equipment Workout Benches

Barbells Door Handles

Exercise Balls Showers

What will the XMICROBE™ Technology do for Your Health Club or Gym:

XMICROBE™ Technology continuously fights the growth of microbes that make your customers sick!
XMICROBE™ Technology protection makes the surfaces in your Health Club easier to clean and keeps them cleaner in between cleanings.
XMICROBE™ Technology is applied to porous and nonporous surfaces and is difficult wash off!
XMICROBE™ Technology is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial protection for an extended period of time.

Why is using XMICROBE™ antimicrobial treatment better than using poisonous chemicals to keep your health club cleaner and more germ-free?

Conventional cleaning products penetrate living cells and kill by way of poisoning or chemically altering the organism. They are designed to act quickly and dissipate quickly to avoid adverse affect humans and animals due to their toxic ingredients.

Most commercial antimicrobials used for treating building services do a good job of killing some bacteria and fungi, although most of them have a limited spectrum of effectiveness.

And heavy metal-based antimicrobials, such as silver ion may leach into the environment and lose their effectiveness over time.

But XMICROBE™ Technology takes a totally unique approach.

It provides long-term control of growth on treated services. The surface itself is actually modified to make it to antimicrobial active.

Plus, the XMICROBE™ Technology assists in preventing Biofilm build up. Biofilm build up on an irregular surface accumulates over time and offers a difficult to clean surface with a microbial food source. But the XMICROBE™ Technology reduces the Biofilm build up making the surface easier to clean with no microbial food source!

You’re probably wondering how the XMICROBE™ Technology works, so check this out…

XMICROBE™ Technology is a patented, EPA registered revolutionary new product. And it prevents the growth of an amazingly wide array of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and yeast.

XMICROBE™ technology acts like a bed of microscopic spikes that pierces the cell walls of microbes. This is a totally new approach to providing long-lasting antimicrobial protection.

XMICROBE™ Technology is unique. One end of its molecule creates a strong bond with a multitude of surfaces, porous and nonporous, forming a highly durable protective coating. The other end of the molecule forms a microscopic bed of spikes that punctures microbes like a bed of nails.

XMICROBE™ Technology physically ruptures the cell walls of these microbes, without the use of poisons.

Since XMICROBE™ Technologies methodology is mechanical instead of poisons, it does not create “Superbugs,” which are microbes that build up a resistance to treatment.

XMICROBE™ Technologies molecular spikes are long chains of atoms that are large enough to pierce the cell walls of various microbes. Being only about 1000 the diameter of a human hair, they are too small to harm large cells in mammals.

These chains of atoms carry a strong positive charge that attracts negatively charged bacteria. XMICROBE™ Technology has been found in independent testing to be effective against a wide array of microbes, including H1N1 (swine flu virus), MRSA, Staphylococcus arias, E. coli, various Salmonella strains, black mold, athletes foot, influenza A., skin infections, and many others.
