no... bring your personal towel and sit on the towel each time.

@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.

But they have employees that does that
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@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.

🤔........good luck with that........I know the gym I go to, have employees always wiping off the equipment.

The last time I went to the gym was in highschool.
So not an issue from me.

One of the reasons I work out at home
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@Cigarguy101 I’m thinking about that too.

Yes, very important and a courtesy to fellow members.

Right!? So gross when people don’t. 🤮
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 · 56-60, 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.

The YMCA asked everyone to do that during Covid was still a pain so they hired someone to actually wipe down equipment
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@2ndtimeguy the ymca where I am has had members doing that since well before Covid

Why I used to avoid them.
But ours is really conscientious; plenty of spray bottles and paper towels, everyone does their part.

That's why I wipe down the equipment before and after I use it
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.
Lilymoon · F
Or better yet wear gym gloves
Japrost · 41-45, M
No
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
I’d be happy if they just wiped! Some of those seats are stinky!!!

SW-User
Yeah that's part of why I stopped going. People are gross
pancakeslam · 41-45, M
just curious why don't you wipe off everything before you use it? that seems more effective.
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@pancakeslam 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.
Moneyonmymind · 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.
NurseKel · 36-40, F
@Moneyonmymind I suspect that most of them are not working out at the gym anyway. Or anywhere else for that matter.
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@NurseKel probably!
