You won't believe these gym gross-outs

You won't believe these gym gross-outs - TODAY Health

Gym rats: beware of gym rats, as well as gym cockroaches. Also, you’d best avoid that dried vomit coating the stationary bike, the blood swirling in the whirlpool, and that old man in the locker room who is dutifully airing out his genitals with the hand-held hair dryer.

But according to the survey, sweat is one of nine bodily emissions glimpsed by folks at the gym. The others: saliva, phlegm, ear wax, vomit, feces (in the shower), menstrual blood (on a shower stall and curtain), sperm, and urine (both on the bathroom floor and next to a piece of weight-lifting equipment).

Did it gross you out? Probably not.

Actually yes, she was not a looker and should not have been allowed to bend over.

I've worked at plenty of gyms, and there's plenty of gross stuff at every one of them.

Sani-Wipes are your best friend... not just for the bench but if you're using a barbbell, wipe that off too...

I wipe off the equipment before and after and sanitize my hands. I don't shower at the gym either.

If laying in someone else's sweat or grabbing on to some handles with snot on them is your thing, go for it.

Yeah, but what if it happens while you are trying to get stronger...
