Technology

Four layers of protection

Proven sanitization technologies, delivering clinical-level hygiene in a fully automated, consumer-facing format.

UVC Light
1

UVC Light

Destroys bacteria and fungi at the cellular level, not masking odors, eliminating them.

Ozone Treatment
2

Ozone Treatment

Deep penetration into material fibres neutralises odour-causing compounds at the source.

Antimicrobial Vapor
3

Antimicrobial Vapor

Near-Nanometer 360° antimicrobial vapor, removes bacteria + infusing shoes with fresh scent.

Heat Cycle
4

Heat Cycle

Heat kicks in at the last stage, gently drying the inside of the shoe so odor has nowhere to return.

Built for Your Venue

If your athletes sweat in their shoes,
Freshtrax fits.

Court shoes, turf shoes, training shoes. Worn hard, session after session. That's where Freshtrax earns its floor space.

Gym / Fitness Center

Training gyms, boxes, HIIT studios, and fitness centers: anywhere members log sweaty sessions in the same pair of trainers.

Training boxes →

Racket & Court Sports

Dedicated court shoes worn 60 to 90+ minutes per session. The strongest fit in our network, and where our pilot runs today.

Pickleball →Tennis →Badminton →

Indoor Team Sports

Indoor soccer, volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, handball. High-sweat sessions, dedicated footwear, regular player bases.

Climbing & Bouldering

Rental shoe odor is the oldest joke in climbing. Freshtrax retires it, and your community notices.

Common Questions

Before You Book a Call

The five questions every serious owner asks us.

The machine acquisition cost and full financing breakdown are in the ROI Blueprint (download it free above). Monthly ongoing costs are $79/month platform fee (Founder's Club) or $99/month (regular), plus ~$0.55/cycle in electricity and consumables. Founder's Club members pay 0% service fee on their founding machine, permanently.
At 20 cycles/day (base case), owners project $24,785/year net. At 30 cycles/day (optimistic), that's $37,651/year. The machine pays for itself in about 4.8 months at the base case, or about 9.9 months at the conservative case (10 cycles/day). The full math for the conservative, base, and optimistic scenarios is in the Blueprint PDF.
From purchase to first paying customer: approximately 6 to 7 months. We handle manufacturing and logistics, and the kiosk ships fully assembled and plug-and-play. You handle venue placement. We support you with placement scripts, venue suggestions, signage, pricing, and launch advice.
A remote monitoring dashboard with real-time alerts, plus marketing support (decals, social media, influencers, and reusable content). Freshtrax supplies the antimicrobial vapor. Your part is a roughly 20-minute refill and wipe-down about once a month. Founder's Club members also get priority support and quarterly strategy calls.
No. Many Freshtrax owners don't operate a venue. They buy the kiosk and place it inside a partner venue (gym, racket club, indoor sports facility) under a revenue-share agreement. We help with placement: venue suggestions, pitch scripts, and the rev-share structures that work. Book a 30-minute call and we'll map out your placement plan.
Freshtrax doesn't offer territory exclusivity. Each target metro has 1,000+ qualifying venues, so there's plenty of room, and our placement advice helps protect owner economics.
