Tell me how you feel about using weights knowing other people use them after taking a shit, putting a squirt of hand sanitizer on their hands and immediately rinsing it down the drain.

And then tell me how you feel about knowing you touched all those weights and there’s no actual soap in the building to wash your hands after

Couldn’t care less. There are more germs in the air you breathe than on the seat of the toilet (I took medical microbiology). If you can’t accept the world you live in, you need to work on yourself

Bro you are NOT going to get and illness from an unwashed barbell. You’re insane. I’ve been working out for two years and the only time I’ve been sick is when my roommate got the frat flu

Fact: most germs are not harmful to you in any way or are not able to harm you due to the complexity of your immune system. Those “some germs” are almost certainly not going to cause you any harm

Case in point: I’ve been working out for almost two years and have only gotten sick once when my roommate returning home with the frat flu

This can’t be right. I also took medical micro. There’d definitely be more germs on a toilet seat than the air. Especially cocci bacteria like staph and strep

Dude. Wash your hands or don’t. I’m not trying to convince you. But knowing that you and others like you DON’T wash your hands, I would like to have the option to do so. That’s all.

3 the whole toilet seat thing is a pseudo fact because nobody poops on toilet seats. I brought it up because most people never think about that

I do wash my hands. I just hate that some people just enable germaphobia

You are definitely right about the immune system being able to handle almost all possible germs, but why put it through unnecessary work? There should definitely be proper soap in any gym. Full stop

I think the hand sanitizer will be enough. There are billions of people that don’t have access to ANY hygiene products and they get by just fine. Obviously that’s not ideal, but not having soap once in a while really shouldn’t be enough to ruin your day
