    Yeah … I was never a fan of that idea … let’s go to a public gym full of strangers that regularly spill or can potentially spill their bodily fluids.

      Are you intentionally trying to imply that people piss and bleed on the machines? I think people generally just sweat.

        Who doesn’t?

        I go a bit farther than most people and bring disinfecting wipes to wipe down before and after I use the machine. After seeing a gym employee pour half of one cleaning spray bottle into another and fill them both with water from the drink fountain, I decided I didn’t trust gyms to have proper cleaning supplies.

        By the time I die I will probably have spent a full gym’s worth of equipment in wipes, but for now I still can’t afford a home gym outside a couple free weights.

          Can’t you basically hit every muscle with a couple free weights anyway? Hell, a kettle bell is probably all you need.
