LOOM GYM EQUIPMENT SANITATION DEVICE

Studies have discovered that most gym equipments have three times more bacteria than a public toilet seat. Loom is a product designed to resolve this often-overlooked issue, addressing the critical need for better hygiene in shared fitness environments. Loom allows the average gym user to quickly and easily sterilize the handles of any gym/fitness equipment. It is shaped like a donut and is built with UV-C lights for sterilization on the inner side of the ‘donut shape.’ The hole in the center allows users to slide the device around the handles, and it is precisely sized to fit the majority of handles across various machines. When sliding is not an option for handles with closed ends, such as those on dumbbells or barbells, a section of the device can be opened so that it can fit the handles.

By addressing the widespread issue of bacteria on gym equipment, Loom promotes improved hygiene and directly contributes to users' overall health and well-being. Its UV-C light technology eliminates harmful pathogens efficiently, ensuring a safer workout experience. This feature helps users prevent the spread of germs and maintain their personal hygiene standards without interrupting their fitness routines.

Other notable features include a lanyard, so that users can easily carry it along with other gym accessories and equipment, a rubber outer layer for better grip, and four color choices to suit individual preferences. The sleek, ergonomic design makes it both functional and visually appealing, enhancing its usability and desirability.

Designed with long-term durability in mind, Loom is rechargeable and compact, ensuring its relevance and usability over time. Its portability, quick action, and adaptability make it a practical and indispensable tool for anyone focused on maintaining their hygiene and well-being during workouts. Loom not only supports better personal hygiene habits but also fosters a cleaner, healthier community, positioning itself as a must-have accessory for modern gym-goers.
