🏋️‍♂️ Gym Cleaning

Here's a really quick one.

There is a small, dirty gym in the basement of my apartment building. It is something that I had begrudgingly used over the past few years but now that I know that I'm moving out this year, I have come to really appreciate it for what it is.

If you were to visit, you would find 8 sets of dumbbells, a cable machine, an adjustable bench, a stationary bike, a broken elliptical, and a treadmill. It is a barely passable set up for weight training but it gets the job done, albeit with a heavily filtered workout routine. But, besides the occasional dog barking from the kennel next door, you would also find a place of silence and solitude, a rare thing in the city. After 3 years I can count on one hand the number of times I've worked out with another person in the room. All to say, this grimy little gym is a special place for me.

I do know that there is someone else who works out there but they're on a morning workout schedule and I'm on the evening schedule. The gym doesn't have any sanitation and I think the building has forgotten they even have a gym, so for a while we were just laying in each other's old sweat. To combat this I bought some sanitary wipes that I have been using for the past few weeks, but now we need a good place to put them (and a place to throw them away, of course).
