Is it safe to go the gym?
I go to the gym five days a week. It's a hotel gym, in a tourist country, so lots of tourists, most of whom dont wipe down the machines after workout. Looks like fomite city in there.

It can't be safe to go the gym, can it?

If I bring bleach is it safe? I could spray down the machines maybe?

I am worried that the hotel staff also clean the gym.

Feels wrong to work out wearing gloves and a mask.

There were 3 Frenchies in there today. Two dudes and hot girl. She wasn't even wearing shoes. They were going from machine to machine, and not wiping down afterwards.

This is a huge problem IMHO

Get a cheap bench press and curl bar for at home. Gyms are a waste of time commuting to and from them, and being at them. Of course they are full of disease all over their equipment.

In my country it's hard to buy sporting goods in the shops

The gym is a short walk and I need my HIIT

But let's face it, gyms are disease-ridden deathtraps by now. Especially hotel gyms.

 Quoting: Butch DeFeo


I have basic equipment at home but can’t get all the other muscle groups worked without the machinery in the gym. Additionally, I have VERY flat feet, so running is hard on my body, so I use the elliptical at the gym for cardio. I simply have no room for all the machines required for a full body workout.

But I myself am concerned about the gym because people are breathing heavy and dripping sweat everywhere (myself included... when I’m at the gym, I WORK OUT).

Instead of equipment when at home, you can do push ups, pull ups, sit ups, etc.

Roger that. I carry TWO towels with me all through my circuit because I’m dripping sweat everywhere, so I share your same concern that I may soon be exposing myself to COVID19 in my efforts to strengthen my body and immunity against COVID19!

I am avoiding it for now. Doing my cardi and weight lifting at home. Also lots of wood-chopping. I don't think it is safe if this is truly an airborne infection microbe.

I think that’s what it’s going to come to.

Come to think of it, I can always get creative in my garage with Resistance Bands as well.

Ha! That’s EXACTLY what I’m going to do! Good thread and good posts, fellas. I’m going to order some bands now because the gym may well be off limits soon.

OP here

Went to the gym again tonight

NEW Frenchies - a different pair of hot chicks - working their butts off on the treadmill, and did NOT wipe down afterwards.

I used the elliptical and the bike and wiped down BEFORE and AFTER use.

There is a pool there too. Would pool chlorine be enough to kill any virus?

My wife bought a seat cover for her spin classes and similar stuff for other exercises. I'd imagine they sell the same stuff where you're at, so you've probably caught something already from neglecting to buy it.
