Is your gym clean?

[CSAR]

This was taken from an MSNBC Today investigative report looking into the cleanliness of gyms:

Bottled water may be the best way to hydrate. We found the water fountain at one gym to contain more than plain water. In one fountain, Morbach detected mold that can cause allergic reactions and bacteria that can cause lung and skin infections. She was also concerned that the fountain could generate airborne water droplets that if inhaled could cause lung infections.

Ready to be completely grossed out? (Can’t say we didn’t warn you.) Morbach found fecal type organisms on a bench in the locker room in one of the gyms, and similar bacteria on a yoga mat in the other one. That kind of bacteria can cause diarrhea and vomiting. Not exactly the Zen escape you were hoping for!

This is exactly why I wipe the equipment with antibacterial all-purpose cleaner before and after I use it. You might think it's anal (yeah, I guess it is), but Japanese don't clean up after themselves very well in the gym and I ain't taking any chances.

Modern corporate gyms are extremely clean. Most new family-friendly gyms, for instance, are completely uncontaminated by free-weights or dumbells.

untidy but clean

I don't know dude...fecal bacteria on the yoga mats? And who knows what shit the people who hock lung biscuits and cough on the water fountain are spreading around. Better to be safe than fvcked up by someone else's germs IMO.

Mine looks pretty clean.

I go at night, and they usually clean the gym two hours before I get there.

I don't belong to a gym, rather a "health club"..hahaha...it's really really nice, but I have been members of other gyms and I find way more hardcore bb in the "dungeon" type of gyms. I love my "health club" for three reasons, the locker room, tv's on the treadmills, and the huge indoor bball courts. We have men's bball league and there are good pick up games going down 4-5 times a week, sometimes twice a day (morning, night sessions)

The locker rooms are out of control. We have big screen tv's, an indoor jacuzzi hot tub/steam room/sauna/disposable razors/shampoo/body wash/conditioner/shaving cream/after shave/anti perspirant/hair spray/combs/unlimited towels/showers with curtains/and electronic lockers. For the lockers you press a button, type in any 4 digit code and then press the lock key and that is your locker for the day..to open it you just press the open button and retype the 4 digit code. It is soo much easier than manual locks. I do believe that there must be "fecal matter" on the couches/sitting areas because EVERYONE is butt naked in that locker room. I havn't seen so much sausage in my life. The gross part is everyone is naked in the jacuzzi hot tub and sauna and steam room. I used to go in the hot tub with shorts on but **** it, I let my balls fly because all the old guys have their wrinkly wangs flapping in the wind.

Clearly an old thread but that comment really cracked me up. I mainly go to two gyms. One is a slick corporate/fitness gym the other a old school muscle gym. Though the fitness gym is cleaner even the muscle gym isn't to bad.

Rather than doing them in the water drinking fountain or on the benches I do everyone a favor and just take my shits in my gym bag. I do this mainly to make up for the fact that I use the water fountain to clean my arse and the communal hair dryers to dry it. Its all about balance.
