According to a new study, the equipment at your gym is dirty.  Like really dirty.

The average exercise bike and treadmill in the study had 1.3 million potentially bad bacteria on it.  That’s 417 times more than the average toilet seat.

Ew.

Free weights had 362 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.

The main reason?  It’s because the stuff at the gym is so covered in germs is that no one gives it a real cleaning during the day.  So everyone’s filth keeps piling up.
