avoid health issues. As disgusting as it sounds, gym equipment and weights have been known to be carriers of a plethora of bacteria. After all, a lot of bodily fluids come into contact with them. Something as simple as wiping gym equipment before and after you use it can help prevent the spread of disease. Also consider that it’s a basic courtesy to other gym goers.
The gym is a place where people try to become better versions of themselves. It is a place for improvement and sacrifice. But, it can also be a dangerous place when common sense is overlooked.
