I say enough of these pessemist threads, most of us have the hobby or even the passion of working out, so let's not defile the place where all the magic happens.I would say that my gym is pretty clean. I put my head on the bench press without a towel and i never got lices. Also, we have two squat racks, wich are almost always free. People don't seem to chat too much and sometime i see guys who are obviously doing efforts in the gym. It is persons who do efforts, who give their 100% that inspire me. It creates a sense of comradeship.Pic related: it's an happy guy.
