"By far, the most germ-rich areas in any gym are places that are warm and wet - such as saunas, showers, swimming pools or hot tubs."
"Basically anywhere there's sweat, there are probably germs. This means any sweat that drips off of you (or other gymgoers) can be used by bacteria and germs to help them grow."
"Disease-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses have been found everywhere - from gym floors and door handles, weights and barbells, cardio machines, bicycle and treadmill handlebars, benches, chairs and exercise mats."
"[These] can all persist in the air of an enclosed gym for hours. They can also remain on hard surfaces for up to several days."
