As a fellow gym rat myself, I know that when swine flu broke out before I am increasingly concerned about contracting the disease itself has grown. My work has provided sanitary napkins for our work, doors and door handles to reduce the number of employees who lost their jobs because of illness. In a few weeks, has reduced the number of absences due to illness.
After the success in my office I thought about how easily people could use the toilets in allother public places.My gym has hand sanitation stations throughout the premises, but just like individuals don't wash their hands, I watched as countless people walk by without a second look at the dispensers.
In my opinion, gym wipes are the way to go. They're quick and easy to use. You don't have to spray anything on the machine and make sure you carry around towels. You just grab them, clean off, throw away, and go. Of course the gym has to stock sanitation wipes around every few machines to increase use, but it will work given proper placement.
So I proposed the idea to the manager at my gym. He thought it was a worthwhile idea, but not something the executives at the franchise level would approve based on the cost of implementation. Despite my best efforts, I was unsuccessful in my quest.
Now instead of waiting for the staff at my gym to provide the tools to protect myself, I carry my own gym wipes around. I've yet to catch the swine flu or any other illness for that matter, I know well the towels. I can not afford to make mistakes, and you can not. Stay safe and protected with sanitary towels in our fitness center.
