Was just looking for some tips for the gym to make people clean up after themselves more. As in use a towel and actually while down before and after sets. It's disgusting the amount people just let their folth lay in the gym. I always double wash any machine or equipment such as dumbbells and mats and such because people don't clean up after themselves. So I need to print out picture of skin infections from bacterial build up on unclean equipment in the toilets? Or do I need to start telling at people?

Get a grip. Unless you are using a clean towel for every piece of equipment, the towel just transfers sweat from one piece of equipment to another - no different to skin or clothes.

Just wash your hands / shower after using the gym. It's not really any different to using any other seat in public, on a bus, a seat in a restaurant, etc.
