For many people, working out means going to a gym. But not all of us are lucky enough to have a private workout facility to use, so we head to a public gym, likely owned by a large corporation. Here, gym-goers have access to equipment, classes, and even personal trainers if need be. While gyms may seem like a what-you-see-is-what-you-get place, gyms are full of secrets kept from the public. Take a look at some of the dirty secrets, lesser-known facts, and downright frightening aspects of the gym that most people don’t know about.
