Why Athletic Towels Are Important
Studies have shown that one out of five Americans aged 6 and up uses a fitness facility. Booming gym patronage is fantastic for business, but crowds of people pouring through gym doors are bound to bring in germs and contaminants. The gym is also, by its nature, a sweaty place. A hard workout leaves gym patrons with their hearts racing and sweat pouring.
For these reasons, athletic towels are essential for any gym facility. Wholesale gym towels provide a wealth of benefits:
- Cleanliness: No one enjoys sitting on a sweaty recumbent bicycle seat or grabbing sweaty weights or hand grips. Even clients who love their fitness facilities sometimes find it hard to drag themselves to the gym for hard, sweaty work. That choice will be a little easier if they know they can work out with clean equipment once they get there. If they can grab a towel to wipe off equipment or place on a seat, they will feel a little cleaner and happier in the gym.
- Hygiene: It’s an unfortunate truth that fitness facilities harbor germs and bacteria, even if the facilities are conscientiously cleaned. Gym surfaces, workout equipment and shower floors all provide attractive breeding grounds for bacteria and fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, staph infections, cold and flu viruses, salmonella and even unsightly plantar warts. In particular, high concentrations of Staphylococcus bacteria have been found to exist on most gym surfaces, making up half or more of the microbes on Nautilus equipment, power striders and ellipticals. Using gym towels helps prevent the spread of infection-causing bacteria and fungi.
- Extra protection: Of course, gym members can spray equipment down with spray bottles. But being able to give the equipment an extra wipe with a clean towel or to use a towel as a barrier against gym surfaces gives clients much-needed piece of mind.
- Etiquette: In the minds of some veteran gymgoers, using a gym towel and wiping down equipment are both mandatory. Not doing so constitutes a breach of gym etiquette. You can make things easier on new and old members alike by providing towels for them to use. Providing towels to keep the facility clean makes it easy for patrons to respect one another’s health and well-being in the gym.
- Environmental impact: Sure, patrons could wipe down their sweaty equipment and skin just as easily with paper towels. But imagine the environmental toll of dozens, even hundreds, of clients in gyms across the country throwing wads of paper into the garbage every day. Reusable gym towels provide a much more eco-friendly alternative to generating more paper trash.
- Image: Stocking clean, soft, stylish wholesale athletic towels in your fitness center will set your facility apart from competitors by giving your members the feeling that their gym cares about their comfort, cleanliness and well-being. They will view your facility as conscientious and trustworthy and potentially spread the word to others.
Who Uses Athletic Towels?
Athletic towels are ideal for a wide variety of applications — gyms and fitness centers, of course, but also for other specialized athletic pursuits. Buying bulk gym towels helps make any athletic pursuit cleaner, easier and more enjoyable for clients.
1. Yoga Studios
Yoga towels are useful for yoga practice for several reasons.
- Traction: Some yoga towels differ from standard athletic towels by having an undersurface that’s designed to grip the yoga mat for traction and stability. Especially if yoga practitioners are sweating a lot, it’s easy for a yoga mat to become slippery, and a slippery mat is not only inconvenient but also dangerous for patrons trying to hold a tricky pose. Using an athletic towel provides a more stable surface.
- Fit: With a variety of different sizes available, athletic towels for yoga can provide a precise fit for any size of mat. A perfect fit can make clients feel secure — the whole mat will be covered, but there won’t be yards of material overhanging the mat that could potentially get in the way of the practice.
- Cleanliness: Despite the best intentions of users, yoga mats are not always cleaned thoroughly after use. Sometimes they get a cursory wipe and then end up rolled up in a corner still sweaty and dirty. A thin, soft yoga towel can provide a clean surface and cut down on the transfer of germs. It can also absorb more perspiration during a session than a yoga mat, providing a clean hour of stretching and breathing with no pools of sweat.
- Versatility: Yoga towels don’t just have to be used as mat covers. They can double as workout towels, too. Clients can use them to wipe hot foreheads and sweaty palms, or they can even incorporate towels into their stretching routines.
- Mat protection: Rigorous yoga workouts can put wear and tear on even the sturdiest mat. A yoga towel absorbs some of the friction and pounding to help the mat last longer. Best of all, unlike a mat, a yoga towel can go right into the laundry instead of needing to be sprayed and scrubbed when the tree poses and savasanas are over.
2. Golf Courses
For reasons of personal hygiene and high-performing equipment, golfers need a large supply of towels per day. Sharing with tee partners can be unsanitary and contribute to the spread of germs, so a quality, clean supply for each golfer is ideal. Buy wholesale towels for value, convenient shipping and uniform sets so your golfers look snappy on the golf course.
- Cleanliness: Golfers stand, walk and swing metal clubs in the hot sun all day — how could they help but get hot and sweaty? Clean, dry hands are especially important for a good grip and accurate swing. Athletic towels provide a clean and hygienic way to stay cool and refreshed throughout a long, hot golf outing.
- Equipment maintenance: Golf balls are engineered for performance in the air. If their characteristic, aerodynamic 0.010-inch-deep dimples are coated in grime, they will not perform nearly as well — a ball without those dimples exposed would go only half as far. Golf towels are useful for keeping golf balls clean and performing efficiently on the green, and they are also useful for wiping down dirty clubs and sweaty hands. Most golf towels are made of terry velour — terrycloth for maximum absorbency and velour for softness and gentle, effective cleaning.
- Convenience: Golf towels usually have a small, lightweight grommet. This construction means they can be hung from a golf bag, in the golf cart or wherever is handy. That way, golfers can focus less on rooting around in the cart for their towels and more on getting that birdie.
3. Sports Teams
Bulk athletic towels provide value and quality for sports teams, from soccer and volleyball to gymnastics and beyond.
- Uniformity: Matching towels can be used to enhance a team’s uniform scheme. Bright colors provide a pop of contrast, and matching hues will amplify official school or team colors.
- A sanitary environment: Athletes play hard and sweat hard. The meet and locker-room environments become much more hygienic with the inclusion of plentiful athletic towels. Team members can wipe down dirty equipment and put towels down on benches sitting before sitting to avoid sweat and germs, and they can wrap themselves in soft, clean towels after well-deserved postgame showers.
- Towel performance: Sports teams need towels that are not just fluffy and clean but also work as hard as the athletes do. Fortunately, athletic towels are supremely absorbent and durable. Teams can choose 100 percent cotton towels for the most absorbent type of towel for mopping up postgame sweat.
What Qualities Are Needed in Gym Towels?
Towel Super Center’s towels offer a variety of features to combat sweat and smell. That way, both the gym and the towels will be pleasant and enjoyable to use. Our towels have features including:
- A variety of sizes: Gym towels’ sizing offers options for different needs throughout the fitness facility. Patrons can choose washcloths to wipe sweaty faces, hand towels that can easily be folded and carried for all-purpose use on the gym floor, or bath towels for a heavy-duty workout or for the locker and shower areas.
- Durability: High-quality materials and sturdy double-stitching mean gym towels can take a beating in the gym and laundry without becoming frayed, torn, dingy, flat or stretched out. Advanced hemming also contributes to durable towel construction and long life.
- Quick drying: Athletic towels are absorbent to soak up lots of sweat, but they are also designed to dry fast. That way they don’t stay wet so long that bacteria and musty odors have a chance to take hold.
- Low maintenance: In a fitness facility, it’s vital to wash towels after every use to prevent the spread of germs, and athletic towels will hold up. Towel Super Center’s athletic towels come with no special washing needs and can be washed frequently without breaking down. Their durability also means they can survive the hot laundering cycles that are best for killing bacteria. Gyms can throw them into the machines and know they will come out clean, fresh, and good as new.
- Proper thread count/GSM: Thread count refers to how many loops are in the towel on either side. More loops lead to a light and fluffy towel. GSM, or grams per square meter, is related — it refers to the weight of the towel. A high GSM means the towel is heavy and plush and feels fantastic. A lower-GSM towel is lightweight and dries and folds quickly. Fitness centers should choose the balance that works for them to provide all-purpose towels that also look and feel good.
- Functionality: Though a soft, fluffy towel is heavenly, your gym towels need to perform as well as your athletes in the gym do. Bulk gym towels from Tower Super Center are constructed for superior performance and long life.
Why You Should Buy Fitness Towels in Bulk
It’s easy to overlook humble towels when you also need to purchase and maintain heavy-duty items like exercise equipment and laundry machines. But towels are small items that can make a big difference in the comfort, hygiene and image of your fitness center. Purchase gym towels in bulk to receive a variety of benefits:
- To stand out: The convenience and cleanliness factors of ready gym towels will set your gym apart and help you retain customers. Members will feel loyal to the gym that has their health and comfort in mind.
- To keep the gym clean and sparkly: Gym members who are working hard will get sweaty and hot, and so will the equipment, benches and any other surfaces they touch. Patrons can use your supply of fresh gym towels to wipe down equipment and keep the gym clean.
- To give added protection: Even with regular, thorough cleaning, gyms host many germs. Patrons can wipe their sweaty necks with clean gym towels instead of with their hands, which have likely come into contact with germs during the workout. They can also use towels as protective barriers between themselves and sweaty equipment.
- To preserve the environment: Providing reusable towels in your fitness center helps you do your small part for environmental health. It cuts down on the generation of paper waste and contributes to a greener earth.
- To maintain public health: Providing gym towels that are used for one session and then laundered helps minimize the transfer of disease. Though patrons could bring towels from home, you never know whether those towels would be clean. Patrons might also end up stuffing their towels in lockers for a week to grow germs and mildew. It’s easy for a gym to set up laundry bins for used towels to confine the sweat and germs to one area. By offering towel and laundry services at your fitness center, you provide an easy way to cut down on bad odors and minimize the spread of harmful contaminants.
- To pick and choose: Buying gym towels in bulk lets you purchase what you need. You can buy classic white bath towels for the shower area and stylish metallic-colored towels for the gym floors. You can get premium towels for luxury and long life or economy towels for faster drying and a roomier budget. You can even buy bleach-proof towels that are colorfast even when used with bleach — and in the fitness industry, where good sanitary practices are paramount and bleach is an effective way to sanitize, bleach-proof towels are a perfect fit for the environment. You can tailor and customize with the towels that are right for your gym.
- To buy large quantities: It’s hard to buy hundreds of towels at a big-box store, but buying in bulk online means you can buy dozens of towels at once and they will be shipped directly to your door. If you need to stock an entire gym with athletic towels, the ease and quantities you get with Towel Super Center are unbeatable.
- To take advantage of great value: Buying in bulk saves your fitness center valuable budget space. Bulk towels come to you at less than retail price while remaining high-quality, durable products. Towel Super Center’s tiered pricing also means that the more you buy, the more you save. Outfit your whole gym with athletic towels through the value of bulk buying.
