Camfil´s relationship with Ingesport Group goes back many years as we together ensure the air quality in their health and fitness facilities with the highest regard to quality. This partnership and trust is the reason why Ingesport came to Camfil for solutions that can reduce the risks associated with the current global health emergency (COVID-19).

THE SITUATION
GO fit Sports Centers were forced to close all its centers in March 2020 when the state of emergency was announced in Spain to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Ingesport Group the parent company of the GO fit brand, contacted us to provide a comprehensive solution to reduce the risks of airborne transmission and infection, facilitating a safer indoor environment. GO fit envisions the health and safety of people as a priority and required a system that could provide guaranteed performance to a recognised international or European standard. To ensure the improved air quality is also validated with a systematic guaranteed performance to reduce the risk from airborne viruses and bacteria, a detailed ANTI-COVID-19 plan was outlined that allows a protected environment.

THE SOLUTION
After a detailed study and survey of each of the 20 chain sports centers, solutions were proposed to install a series of Camfil Air Purifiers & Cleaners in each center. The range of models offered included the City M, CC2000, and CC6000. Camfil Air Purifiers are equipped with HEPA Absolute™ H13 filters, which guarantees efficiency over 99.95% for all types of contaminants, in combination with molecular filtration. The Absolute HEPA filter is EN1822 certified to ensure optimum performance while the molecular filter is tested to ISO 10121. Camfil´s technical specialists calculated the required volume & intensity of air filtration in each center and custom solutions were installed depending on the density of the area.

Our filtration solution together with other measures adopted by GO fit has allowed all centers in Spain and Portugal to obtain a score of 7.4 out of 8 in ANTI-COVID-19 measures. GO fit has the ANTI-COVID-19 Good Practice Certification issued by AENOR. A place where sports are enjoyed with utmost hygiene, premium air quality, and social distancing standards.
