i went to the gym for the first time today, and this one girl kept wiping down the machine she just used when she finished. am i supposed to do that, and is it sick if i don't? like will people look at me and think that that's disgusting that i don't wipe down the machine?

Personally i wipe down the machines because i dont want people to have to touch my sweat, just like i dont want to have to feel theirs.. but occasionally i forget so no biggie if you dont wipe it down. I dont think that it is a law to wipe down the equipment, its just their to help keep good hygene(sp?).. so dont freak out! And you dont have to act like a maid, and scrub a dub dub, just a quick wipe down with your towel will do just fine!!
hope i helped ya!!
have fun at the gym!!
