Lutava's FITSHIELD Fabric Technology Targets Bacteria & Viruses

Gym-goers are excited for their favorite exercise spots to reopen but operations look different post-pandemic, as fitness centers are being hyper-vigilant with creating distance between people and making sure shared equipment and fitness accessories are sanitized. Lutava is introducing a timely solution with a first-of-its-kind product line with exclusive FITSHIELD technology.

The high-performance line of fitness accessories consists of three basics: the DRIVE car seat slipcover, the SPIN bike seat cover and the GRIP bike handlebar cover. With patented antimicrobial fabric, these accessories are effective for inhibiting and killing 99% of bacteria and viruses.

As Casey Chavez, founder and CEO of Lutava, says: "The way we think about germs, bacteria and the spread of viruses in a communal space has evolved since the current pandemic, and as fitness enthusiasts begin to resume regular activity, they are going to seek ways to be protected."
