Crossfit Brio / Brio HealthClub Eco-Friendly Elements
Our clients deserve nothing but the best! In developing our studio we made several choices to create the cleanest possible environment for you! We love a good win-win situation and set out to prove it's possible to run a superior business while being *green* at the same time.
The first step was to use Zero VOC paint throughout. The paint is odorless and won't off-gas harmful chemicals into the air. BRIO HealthClub features Benjamin Moore Aura paint.
When it came time to deck out our new box, we went for recycled rubber flooring. It’s not only durable and cushy on the feet, it also makes good use of what would otherwise end up in a landfill.
This is a gym, and people sweat, so we provide towels of course. To launder all those sweaty mops, we purchase a new Maytag energy star washer and dryer.
And when we wash all those towels, we go with non-toxic, phosphate free, biodegradeable, hypoallergenic laundry detergenet. We use ECOS detergent, with a light all natural Magnolia and lily scent.
All around the studio, you'll find nothing but organic, natural cleaners used to keep not just the visible surfaces clean, but the air too. We use Attitude brand natural cleaners on our floors, equipment, toilets, sinks, windows, and mirrors.
We send all of our clients out to hunt and forage at their grocery store with reusable tote bags. Not only does it prevent using plastic bags, our BRIO Green and Lean tote bags are made of 85% recycled plastic bottles.
Our green business practices don’t end there. We made plenty of other sensible choices like using a paperless scheduling and billing system, programming our HVAC system to minimize wasted heat, and choosing low flow faucets, toilets, and shower head in our washrooms.
Watch for more BRIO Green features in the months to come and feel free to make suggestions on how we can improve our environment for you!
