Germs at the Gym
Going to a public gym has major perks. However, it definitely has at least one major downfall: germs. Think about all the equipment we share (or maybe don't).
Most people can't visit the gym without their phone. We have workouts and music on our phones. There is no way those devices are free from all the bacteria and viruses they collect at the gym.
In the spirit of fitness and staying healthy while getting fit, here are some ways to fight germs at the gym.
How to fight germs at the gym
- Don't go barefoot in the locker room or sauna. Wear flip-flops.
- Keep your phone at home. If you have to take it, disinfect it before and after using the PhoneSoap 3 to kill 99.99% of germs* on your device.
- Wipe down everything you use before and after you use them. Don’t be that person that’s leaving their sweat behind.
