Humidification for health and performance

Maintaining 40–60% relative humidity in fitness facilities supports optimal respiratory function, reduces injury risk, and enhances muscle recovery. Proper humidity regulates sweat evaporation, preventing fatigue, dehydration, and supporting endurance and overall workout performance. In gyms, fitness rooms, weight rooms, and gymnasiums, balanced humidity also prevents dry skin, irritated eyes, and respiratory discomfort, ensuring an optimal workout experience. Controlled indoor humidity reduces the spread of airborne viruses and improves air quality, enhancing thermal comfort and creating a healthier, safer environment. Investing in reliable gym humidification systems supports member retention, workout performance, and long-term facility wellness.

Dehumidification for healthy gyms

Dehumidification units are essential in fitness facilities, especially those with indoor pools, to maintain optimal indoor air quality and ensure a safe, comfortable environment. High humidity from pools and workouts can lead to respiratory discomfort, skin irritation, and excessive sweating, while also promoting airborne viruses and mould growth. Proper humidity control protects gym equipment, weight machines, and structural components from moisture-related damage, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. Modern units are energy-efficient, reducing operational costs while maintaining consistent air quality and thermal comfort. By controlling humidity, fitness facilities create healthier, safer spaces for patrons and staff, improve workout performance, and ensure long-term protection of both people and equipment.

Gym comfort with evaporative cooling

Evaporative cooling provides fitness facilities with an energy-efficient way to keep gyms, weight rooms, fitness studios, and indoor pools comfortable during workouts. By drawing in fresh, filtered air and using water evaporation to lower temperatures, it reduces heat stress, supports endurance, and keeps members energised without the high electricity costs of traditional air conditioning. Evaporative cooling also improves air quality and, when paired with controlled humidification, helps maintain balanced moisture levels, supporting respiratory health and overall comfort. This combination delivers clear benefits: energy savings, lower operational costs, healthier air, and a more enjoyable workout experience, making it an ideal solution for modern fitness spaces.

Condair EL

The Condair EL is the latest generation of Condair’s well-known steam humidifiers. They are the first choice in applications requiring reliable steam humidification with no hassle.

Condair RS

Innovative scale management removes the separated minerals from the steam cylinder during operation and automatically conveys them into the designated scale collecting tank. Scale deposits are thus continuously removed from the steam cylinder.

Condair GS

The Condair GS gas-fired steam humidifier combines high performance with exceptional energy efficiency, reducing running costs by up to 60% compared with electric systems. Its condensing technology recovers heat for lower flue temperatures, enabling the use of lightweight plastic flues and flexible installation. With outputs from 21–246 kg/h, the GS features intuitive touchscreen control, BMS connectivity and a hygienic, lip-free tank design for reliable, long-lasting operation.

Condair SE

The Condair SE steam-to-steam humidifier delivers hygienic, in-duct humidity using existing, impure boiler steam as its energy source. Fully packaged for easy installation, it features durable 316 stainless steel heat exchangers, a built-in Total Controller with modulating output, automatic scale management, and capacities ranging from 23 to 477 kg/h for reliable industrial and commercial humidification.
