People when you go to the gym

Please wipe down the equipment immediately after you use it. Thanks from everyone else

This is partly why I hate going to gyms.
@sarabee1995 i do go to the gym. Sometimes the "Zoomba room" is empty and i'll go in and practice one of my kung fu forms. If i ever forget Nam Chuan, i'll know i'm done for.

@sarabee1995 Gyms are fine. Some people are disgusting.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@OliRos Well, yes, I suppose that is what I meant.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
But they have employees that does that
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@MarineBob no, we don’t have our own personal attendants here to wipe down the machines after we use them we all have to use wipe the machines down ourselves immediately after we use them and some people think they’re above that rule

@MarineBob they dont wipe the equipment usually until either the gym closes or when it first opens.

But I'm trying to spread my natural manly scent.

Right!? So gross when people don’t. 🤮
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
Yes....and everyone does in our gym. All cardio machines, wall balls, slam balls, dumb bells, kettle balls bars and weights.....everything.
OliRos · 18-21, F
@KiwiBird Is it a private membership gym?
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@OliRos I guess so, not open to the general public. Cross Fit classes mainly and private tuition. No open training. Classes have limited numbers.
OliRos · 18-21, F
@KiwiBird The best kind. I keep away from the student gyms. Students here are pretty disgusting.
OliRos · 18-21, F
Yes, very important and a courtesy to fellow members.

Don't share your sweat!

(Unless you're in bed together.)

🤔........good luck with that........I know the gym I go to, have employees always wiping off the equipment.
HumanEarth · 56-60, M
The last time I went to the gym was in highschool.

So not an issue from me.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
I’d be happy if they just wiped! Some of those seats are stinky!!!
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
Yeah that's part of why I stopped going. People are gross
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
One of the reasons I work out at home
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Cigarguy101 I’m thinking about that too.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
Shouldn't people wipe it down before using it instead? Seems it would be better to wipe it down to your own satisfaction rather than counting on the fact that someone else properly wiped it down when they finished.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@Subsumedpat that’s like someone else cleaning up your mess
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Jenny1234 You would still be wiping down the same amount of times.
2ndtimeguy · 61-69, M
The YMCA asked everyone to do that during Covid was still a pain so they hired someone to actually wipe down equipment
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@2ndtimeguy the ymca where I am has had members doing that since well before Covid
MrMortal · 41-45, M
no... bring your personal towel and sit on the towel each time.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@MrMortal no. The rule here at all the gyms is to wipe it down after you use it.
MrMortal · 41-45, M
@Jenny1234 If it's a rule, then people have a right to be publicly questioned/humiliated if they don't follow the rules.
or is it the complacent stereotype of Canadians that deter that from happening? (i.e. too nice to be nasty)
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@MrMortal maybe
Why I used to avoid them.

But ours is really conscientious; plenty of spray bottles and paper towels, everyone does their part.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
That's why I wipe down the equipment before and after I use it
Lilymoon · F
Or better yet wear gym gloves
Japrost · 41-45, M
lumberjackslam · 41-45, M
just curious why don't you wipe off everything before you use it? that seems more effective.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@lumberjackslam I have been. Absolutely. But just as I wipe off before, and after other people should be wiping the machines down after they use them too.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
im appalled at the amount of lazy people in the comments saying its up to the staff, NO IT ISNT, be decent human beings and wipe the equipment after you use it, simple.
Alababy · 36-40, F
@Hanginginthere I suspect that most of them are not working out at the gym anyway. Or anywhere else for that matter.
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Alababy probably!
