    Yes.

    It has made it better.

    Leg Day yesterday was great because the gym was half empty and only the folks serious about training were there.

    The whole "Sit on my *kitten* and look at my smartphone" crowd stayed away.

    If you're actually doing sets and not looking at your phone for 10 minutes without letting anyone work-in; no worries.

    No. I wipe down all the machines before and after I use them. I go in at night so theres not many people around anyway.

    Right now no since I workout at home. With the kids home from school it might be more challenging with distractions but no different than on a weekend.

    Great I was wondering about this too. I am going to keep going just be diligent with cleaning machines and my hands...sitting around watching news coverage is draining

    Phew - I’m good - I set a timer with 1.5 to 3 minute rest periods - just feel awkward walking around or standing around so the phone is used in that regard - I also track reps and weight and what not on the strong app

    Only thing it has changed is I wipe down stuff more before using. Like the handles of weights, pull up bars etc.
