York Fitness Equipment

Is it dangerous to go to a Fitness Center with this Swine Flu outbreak?

I work out at a gym on a regular basis, I am from CT, we arent too far from New York where there are cases, and you would think a gym would have lots of germs from everybody sharing equipment.

1. No. Use Purell, wash your hands, go to a doctor if you feel sick. You'll be fine.
2. Whatever you do, don't make sweet, passionate, gentle love to any swine. No matter how tempting those curly tails may be!
3. mmm
4. everyone give randy a thumbs down!!!!!!!!
5. Zack - You are a moron
6. Just be careful of mexican people and less likely you will get it in CT.
7. Do you go to the gym during regular flu season? Yes. This flu is nothing to worry about.
8. yes, it wouldn't be if people had manors and would stay home when they are sick...
9. Make sure you take Extra precautions – It is just like a normal flu wash your hands before and after as well as the equipment, don’t touch your eyes, nose, or ears and you should be okay. Ask the Gym what kind of precautions they are taking as well.
10. Wipe down the equipment you use, and stay away from anyone who is obviously coughing or sneezing. You should be OK. If you are still worried, you could wear a mask. Here's how to select a good one: http://www.ehow.com/how_4937558_select-swine-flu-mask.html
