Combat Gyms: BJJ, MMA, and striking
Built for the time between cleanings.
You mop after the last class. Then the 6 a.m. crew rolls in. COMPEL stays on skin and mats after it dries, so the clean does not end when the mop does.
Sound familiar?
Does your gym...
- Get one mat pass at closing and nothing between classes?
- Send gis home smelling like the last roll?
- Have members who go straight from the mat to the car?
- Run a cleaning routine nobody can explain?
- Greet members with a bleach smell at the door?
- Run out of spray before the week does?
Your members trust you with their skin every time they step on the mat.
Why it's different
Everything else is designed to leave.
Most skin washes are made to be rinsed off. Alcohol sprays evaporate. Mats get one product and skin gets another. COMPEL is one leave-on system: the same key ingredient on skin, on mats, and on gear, built to stay put after it dries.
The system
Three products. One routine.
The same key ingredient on skin, on mats, and on gear. It keeps working after it dries.

What skin-conscious athletes say
Easy on skin. No sticky hands. No perfume cloud.
Compel is so easy to apply … With so many other products having overwhelming added fragrances or leaving my hands feeling sticky, Compel does the job it's supposed to do without any other hassles.
I love Compel! My hands are always dry and cracked from the hot Arizona sun, but Compel doesn't burn the way other hand cleansers do. It has no smell and leaves my hands feeling super smooth!
I have very soft, sensitive skin, so I'm always cautious when it comes to trying new products. After using Compel consistently, my hands still feel soft, and there has been absolutely no adverse skin reaction.
COMPEL is convenient to use, easy to apply, dries quickly, and it does not leave a residue on skin or surfaces. I recommend this product line without hesitation.

Why COMPEL
Built in Trafalgar, Indiana, for the people who run the room.
At COMPEL, we know you want to run the gym members brag about, the one that takes clean seriously. To do that, you need a skin, mat, and gear routine that keeps up with a full class schedule. The problem is that most mat cleaners and skin washes are made to rinse off or evaporate, so the clean ends when the mop does. We believe a BJJ, MMA, or striking gym should be ready between classes, not just at closing. COMPEL was built in Trafalgar, Indiana, around one key ingredient that runs through a no-rinse skin cleanser, an alcohol-free skin cleanser, and a mat and gi cleaner. Here is how it works: download the Combat Gym Protocol, start with the Mat Room Kit, and run four steps every class. Order the kit today, and in the meantime, post the protocol by the mats. You can stop guessing what your staff did last night, and run a gym that is ready for every class.
The Combat Gym Protocol

Questions gym owners ask
Can members use it on gloves, shin guards, and headgear?
Yes. SAFEGUARD is made for surfaces and fabrics, including gear. Spray, wipe, and let it air dry.
Will it leave residue on the mats?
No. SAFEGUARD is formulated for clean surface release. ARMOR is formulated for skin feel. That ratio is the difference between the two.
Can we sell COMPEL at the front desk?
Yes. ARMOR 30 mL bottles and wipes fit in a gym bag. Ask us about reseller pricing.
We already use bleach or a quat spray. Why add COMPEL?
If your protocol requires an EPA-registered disinfectant, keep using it. COMPEL is a leave-on cleanser for the daily routine around skin, mats, and gear. Keep your disinfectant for what your protocol requires, and use COMPEL for everything in between.
