It might sound a bit anal, but make sure you wash your hands several times during the day. I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe and wash my hands religiously throughout the day and I havent had a cold in about a year and a half. When you use equipment in the gym, shake hands with people, use the fuel pump to fill up, handrails, shopping trolleys etc, you should wash your hands straight after. I definitely would avoid touching the face and around the mouth during a workout after handling dbells and barbells that everyone's been using. Germs from various surfaces may not be the sole cause of the common cold, but keeping hands clean helps I reckon.
I agree with what you're saying and I do wash my hands during the day a lot but it's hard at the gym. In my gym everyone knows each other so every night you end up shaking at least 10-15 peoples hands and it would be hard taking off my gloves and washing my hands every time lol I will definitely try not to touch my face while training as that is the entry point for germs to get in.
