How To Take Care Of Your Fitness Equipment

You have made a commitment to your fitness journey by choosing Cycling Bears' luxurious equipment as your workout companion. Take a minute to celebrate that! Our gear is a lifetime purchase that will help you push your boundaries and achieve new levels of wellness and vigour.

However, unlocking the full potential of your fitness journey doesn’t end with investing in the finest equipment. It is equally important to understand how to maintain it. Proper maintenance ensures that each equipment performs at its peak, allowing you to experience workouts like never before!

If you are already our client or plan to purchase equipment from us anytime soon, this will be your ultimate guide for taking the best care of your equipment.

Leather 

The beauty of our products made of genuine Italian leather, like the punching bag or yoga mat evolves with use, and tiny irregularities are a mark of its naturalness.

1. Remove dust from leather with a damp, lint-free cloth regularly.
2. Small soiled spots can be removed with a colourless eraser.
3. Liquid spills should be immediately dabbed dry and wiped off.
4. Use a mild leather cleaner and protection cream every 3 months to keep the leather sweat-free and oil-stain free.

Steel

Our range of dumbbells and kettlebells adorned with marine-grade stainless steel do not corrode or rust. However, they can get scratched and stained relatively easily. 

1. Mix a little mild soap with warm water in a small bowl.
2. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth in the soapy water and gently wipe the stainless steel equipment. Rub the item along its polish lines.
3. Wipe away any remaining soap with a moist cloth dipped in clean water. 
4. Dry well with a clean cloth.

Wood

We take immense pride in all our products made of the best quality wood. They not only provide a good grip but also exhibit antibacterial properties.

That said, wood does absorb liquid and odour over time. Hence, it is essential to keep the wooden parts clear of sweat.

1. Wipe regularly with a lint-free cloth.
2. If there are sticky spots, dip a soft lint-free cloth in mild soapy, wring dry, and clean the area. 
3. Dry well with a clean cloth.
4. If there is a lingering smell, air the equipment outside on a warm, dry day, shaded from direct sunlight. Pour talcum powder or baking soda over the surface to absorb odours.

Taking this a step ahead, we save you the hassle of doing this yourself! We offer an on-demand 'white-glove service' (Singapore only) where our technicians clean and inspect your equipment every three months to maintain its quality. Simply drop us an email to book yours whenever you require. 

Renowned Organising Consultant Marie Kondo said, “Taking good care of your things leads to taking good care of yourself”. Following best practices for maintaining your equipment will ensure its longevity and cleaner surroundings will impart a sense of positivity in your home.

Let's ensure that your gym gear remains as remarkable as the day you first set eyes on it.
