When is it most effective to distribute wipes to the floor group?

Distributing wipes to the floor group before the walking recovery is most effective because it allows participants time to sanitize their equipment and their hands before they transition into the recovery phase. This practice reinforces hygiene and ensures that the workout environment remains clean and safe, especially after an intense workout segment. Providing wipes at this moment encourages participants to take responsibility for their health and the cleanliness of the workout area while still feeling engaged in the flow of the class.

The timing also respects the structure of the class; participants are likely more focused and can easily attend to wiping down their area without interrupting the workout momentum. By promoting hygiene early in the recovery period, it sets a positive tone for accountability and can help maintain engagement for the cooldown that follows.
