Showers, Locker Rooms & Changing Rooms †Relatively are the most damp and moist areas of gym. As there are no standard heath standards to be maintained, often resulting into people contracting skin infections.

Gym Clothes & Accessories - A casual use of gym towels, shower robes, cloves, water bottles, etc could lead to skin infection. Just think how many people use the same items every day.
