Problem: While many people are good about cleaning cardio machines, this isn't the case when it comes to weights and weight machines. And it shows: the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine study found bacteria and viruses on 73 percent of the weight equipment it tested. And these germs seem to lurk everywhere!
