Some people who are not even remotely close to sweating insist on wiping every machine after every set - and more annoyingly, glare at you if YOU DON'T. They run over to the spray bottle and paper towels, and wipe, wipe, wipe. I'm getting sick of it. For the record: I am not wiping anything ever. I am not the gym janitor. If you can't stand getting a little sweat on you in a gym, STAY HOME!
Can't you catch something? At my gym they had some rash that is spread via sweat.
None the less, I'm wiping. I don't want whatever sweaty bugs you have all over me.

To each his own, but I will not be cleaning or wiping public gym equipment in any form whatsoever. If someone is hypersensitive to germs, they can indulge themselves and wipe to their heart's content.

Yeh, well, say that after the nits from someone else infest your armpits.

I'm with you on this one. I've been working out since I was 14 at gyms and I'm 46 now. You could almost say I'm a light gym rat. I have to date, never once wiped down anything and never will. I've never had an issue. I agree, you wanna wipe, be my guest, I'm off to do my next set.

At our gym, everyone was required to carry a hand towel and wipe down the machines afterwards (wipe away their own sweat). Nearly everyone I ever met at the gym always did this. The few who didn't (usually young selfish, weak, bimbo girls) were called out.
I don't understand lazy, selfish people like the original poster.

The standard should be to wipe before you use the machine/dumbbell/etc....
That way people who care about germs can be sure of having a clean, disinfected surface, and the ones who don't get to deal with the previous user's germs and their own.
