This means you mother father!
The sign says: PLEASE disinfect equipment after each use.
NOT:
Disinfect if you feel like it.
Disinfect if your poop doesn't stink.
Disinfect if you think you may be getting sick.
Disinfect if you think you're dirty.
Disinfect if your mom doesn't think you are a special snowflake.
Disinfect if it's the 3rd Friday in the 3rd month of the 3rd year of the century.
LONG STORY SHORT.... Use common courtesy and disinfect the gym equipment you just worked out on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simple Simon.

I don't go to gyms, but if it were me, I would be disinfecting before to be sure it was ok for my use AND after, to be sure it's ready.

It is a bummer when people don't have the courtesy to disinfect.  |

I don't go to gyms but I think I know I would be disinfecting before I used any equipment because that is me. I never knew there were signs terlling people to do so. If that is the case then there is no excuse. I wouldn't have thought of it on my own though - at least not when I was startig out. I will have to ask my kids who have gym memberships if their gyms have signs. If not, I will educate them:)

This is why I always put a towel down before sitting down on anything at the gym. However, I don't care if people don't disinfect things their hands' touch (not talking about sweat pools), I still have to touch door handles, elevator buttons, etc. So it's the same germs and I just wash my hands often. I find it silly to wipe down the treadmill, again, my hands touch the handrail walking up the stairs to the treadmill. And I'm the biggest germaphobe.

I wipe well before and after. I hate those who don't - I nickname them "skidmark". I try to wash my hands often too.
