I've been back twice to Colony gym. The wiping down of equipment is left up to us as far as I can see. Maybe the equipment is wiped down at the end of each day by the staff but I'm not sure. There is more hand sanitizer around so that is a plus.
I still don't feel comfortable in the gym and will probably continue to do more working out at home. Just purchased free weights in Target to do upper body work outs. I have ankle weights and have been using those for lower body work outs.
Back to the gym......One story........I was working out on the bench and a gentleman stood right next to the bench to work with free weights. I immediately got up and moved over to the other bench which was empty and further away from where this guy decided to stand. He could have easily stood at least 6" away from me but he didn't. This social distancing is up to us and it can not be guaranteed to be adhered to when people don't have any idea what 6" is or just refuse to abide by the guidelines. I didn't say anything to this guy and I have a feeling he had no clue why I got up and moved.
As for the machines, they are closer than 6' apart so there is no proper distancing if someone decides to work out next to a machine you happen to be on. Masks are not required so universal masking is not going to happen.
This is why I will be doing more workouts at home. It is safer and I feel more comfortable not having to dodge people that do not adhere to guidelines.
