Because you're a considerate person.

Seems like a waste of time. A little sweat won’t kill you

I try to use the same machines/treadmill each time, because I know they were cleaned at least once in the past 24 hours (by me). Sometimes I'll bird dog around and see who's cleaning their machine and jump on them once they're clean.

You wipe down after. Period.

Let them do whatever they want, you just focus on you.

Then just wipe down what your hands touch

I just lay my towel down so sweat doesn’t get on the benches that I use.

I do dumbbell curls in the squat rack and leave the equipment there and don't wipe.

Never do it. I'm not living in a germ bubble.

If everyone does it after, then you never need to do it before

If everyone does it before, what would be left to complain about?

I’ll wipe down the bench if I’m already sweaty. If I’m not sweating much, I don’t worry about it.
