Hi, I was just wondering what products/techniques people use to keep a comfortable temperature whilst training and what they think of them? Thanks!
A fan is an absolute must
Two fans, one in front and another behind; plus, an open window with a fan stuck inside of it to circulate air (which also helps to keep CO2 under control).

Three fans! And a cool basement. Previously I used air conditioning sometimes.
For longer rides I also chill the drinks in advance.

Cool drinks are definitely a must when it’s warmer. If I had central air conditioning, I’d definitely crank it up as needed.
I just used to open the window, and plenty to drink
Small but powerful air mover/fan in front of me. And an openable window, which works well in Iowa in the winter 
But I also try to keep other doors open for air flow. A fan will generally work better to cool when it’s able to circulate a larger mass of air. If you’re in a small room without much ventilation, there won’t be anywhere for the humidity to go, and a big fan will be just blowing humid air on you.

Dedicated HVAC and dehumidifier, and two air turbines inside the ductwork to manage air flow into the room… the key is to keep relative humidity under 35%… zero smells in my gym (no hidden mold).
Fans to provide breeze feeling are great -but not enough. Somehow you got to manipulate the gym climate independently from the main building… above all, during fall/spring -that’s when indoor relative humidity skyrockets…
Fans are a must particularly in hot climates. I use a Headwind blowing from bottom up which helps to keep the trainer relatively free of sweat in the important areas and cools me from below. I also have two overhead fans, one pointing down and from the rear, the other pointing down and from the front. All are automated so I don’t need to worry about turning them on and off.
A ceiling fan has worked perfectly for me for more than 3 years. Oh and placing the bike parallel to opening windows that you can reach.
Use a small industrial fan. Works great.
Two x 20inch fans, one at floor level aimed towards legs/lower body, and the other fan level with head blowing at face/upper body.
That with a sweat band, and I never ever drip any sweat on the floor/trainer.
