I'll admit I don't do it, never got into the habit, guess its kinda bad, some people are pretty anal about that! But I also don't sweat like crazy on machines or anything!
And whenever I'm working in with someone and they start to wipe it down before I jump on I always tell them "don't worry about it, everyone sweats!"

I agree, I never do it in a gym.
My philosophy is that the person who is about to do a set should wipe it down. You shouldn't expect the previous guy to wipe it down.
I've had a few guys give me attitude for not wiping down a machine. If these guys want it so clean, they had better clean it them damn self.

Must be an Arab thing being from the desert and all. Here we consider sweating to be gross and don't want to wallow in our own sweat let alone others..

Personally, I think most people are far too germophobic. What with sanitizing hands everywhere one goes and wiping down a little sweat that may or may not be left on a machine. There's this one lady at the gym where I work out that literally, cleans the whole machine before she gets on it and then again when she's finished. I would say she has OCD really bad. I mean she spends five or ten minutes spraying and wiping everything down....it is crazy to watch. The only thing I clean is the tanning bed before I get in it. Truth is those disinfectant sprays need a 10 minute dwell time to really kill all the germs. Can you even imagine spraying a machine and then waiting ten minutes before using it? I mean it take hours to complete a workout. Life's too fucking short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

use a towel, if its still not to next users standards, most gyms have paper towels and desinfectant, let him do it
biggest peeve though is not sweat, its leaving weights all over the show and not unloading machines
if you just did squats on the smith, leaving 3 plates a side, and the next guy is gonna do presses, he's gotta unload the thing unless ronnie trains at your gym and its delt day

Sweat is only water and salt.

Yeah a good rule of thumb when using shared equipment like that is to never touch your face before washing your hands properly.

yes you also have to be carefull with washing hands in the gym since the towel harbors probably more bacteria than vince goodrums toothbrush on a oppresive summer night.

Towel? Wtf? Surely you are talking about PAPER towels, right?

I wipe my ass on the machines' seats between sets.

Depends if they're serious guys I respect. if it's a bunch of twiggy twinks and fat housewives then I let them sit in my sweat.

Some jerk leaves 100 lb plates laying flat on the floor. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a grip on a 100 lb plate when you have arthritis in you hands? It really sucks. Of course I blame the gym owners because there isn't enough room on the rack for all the 100 lb plates. They need to add a rack for them.
