How Your Sweat Affects Not Only You! – Wipe your fitness equipment


There are so many times when I walk up to a machine and its sweaty and gross.  There’s a reason why health clubs have sanitizer and wipes next to the fitness equipment!  Clean your dang machines when you’re done with them!


If you ask anyone who goes to their local health club, one of their number 1 pet peeves are when people don’t wipe up their sweat when they’re done with their gym workouts.  It is considered horrible etiquette and manners in the gym to not clean up after yourself.  I remember when I was in high school and heard the horror stories about the equipment.  There were a couple times when they had to close down the high school weight training area because people kept getting ringworm.  This is a parasite that you can contract from using contaminated gym equipment.  If only the students would have wiped down the machines when they were done with them.  That whole situation might have been avoided.  So wipe the darn equipment folks!

  Do any of you have horror stories about people not cleaning up their fitness equipment?
