Independent Gyms
Your members notice the bench before the equipment.
The big chains have a cleaning budget and a regional manager. You have a spray bottle and a front desk. COMPEL gives you one system for equipment, benches, floors, and the people using them, and it keeps working after it dries.
Sound familiar?
Does your gym have...
- Benches members wipe off with their shirts?
- Spray bottles that are empty by noon?
- Towels that never quite smell clean?
- A front desk that can't say what you clean with?
- Reviews that mention the smell?
- Products your staff won't touch without gloves?

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.

Owners and members
One product for hands, surfaces, and the whole building.
Compel has been a game changer for us because now we have this … product that we can use on our hands, on surfaces and have a clean building.
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.
Compel is a great product, have enjoyed using it and have recommended it to a few friends, too!
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.

Why COMPEL
Built in Trafalgar, Indiana, for the people who run the room.
At COMPEL, we know you want to own the gym members recommend to their friends. To do that, you need a clean routine for benches, floors, and towels that your staff can run without thinking about it. The problem is that most gym cleaners are ready-to-use water in a bottle that evaporates in seconds, so you pay for the bottle and lose the clean. We believe an independent gym can look and feel cleaner than any chain. COMPEL was built in Trafalgar, Indiana, as a skin-safe concentrate for equipment, benches, floors, and laundry, with skin cleansers for the members who use them. Here is how it works: download the Gym Floor Protocol, start with a gallon of SAFEGUARD, and run four steps every day. Order the gallon today, and in the meantime, post the protocol at the front desk. You can stop paying for water in a bottle, and run a gym members notice for the right reasons.
The Gym Floor Protocol
Four steps. Every day. Post it at the front desk.
The step-by-step protocol for benches, floors, and towels, plus an 18 x 24 wall poster for your staff. Mixing, schedule, and restock, all on one page.

Questions owners ask
How does the cost compare to what we use now?
Compare cost per dilution, not cost per bottle. One gallon of SAFEGUARD makes 32 working dilutions.
Is it safe on vinyl, rubber, and turf?
SAFEGUARD is skin-safe and built for athletic surfaces. Check your equipment maker's care guide and test a small area first.
Can we resell COMPEL to members?
Yes. ARMOR wipes and 30 mL bottles sell well at the front desk. 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.
