Brazilians are very clean except for this one thing....
Brazilian are clean.
They love to shower and keep their body's clean.
Especially in the hot weather it's not abnormal to take several showers a day.
They also clean their house meticulously.
Every night before bed this house is clean and tidy.
And in the weekend they even wash the pavement in front of their own house.
They are much cleaner then I am at home I must admit.
But in the gym they do something strange.
It's again one of those cultural difference I noticed.
In the gym....they don't use towels.....
They move their sweaty body's from machine to machine without cleaning them or using a towels to absorb some of the sweat.
Truth be told it's really nasty arriving at equipment dripping with sweat.
I'm the only one in the gym putting a towel where I sit and cleaning the machine after I'm done.
I'm sure I'm known as that weird tall gringo with a towel by now.
But I just don't understand it so I asked Bianca why this is normal?
She said she doesn't understand it either...but it's how it's always been.
Again I except but I'm keeping my towel :)

This same situation occurs here in the United States as well. A lot of savages here just leave the machines with sweat all over them but it is usually good if you put some soap on a paper towel and wipe down the machine afterward but a lot of people don't do it. It's a total biohazard. lol
lol biohazard is the right word!
I'm sure I'm known as that weird tall gringo with a towel by now.
Maybe you will start a new trend!
I always found it weird that they don’t flush toilet paper but I think that is more common in Europe too haha.
lol, I didn't wanted to go there :)
Beloved friend, for us it is very normal to take several showers a minimum day should be two, one in the morning and another at bedtime, and if you give us some time we take one at noon, it is like our houses, you have to clean them every day, for dust or if you have a pet, you also need to clean your house, well you're the only person who uses a towel for the gym, here in Venezuela if it's something normal and you need to use it every time you exercise, It is strange that the Brazilians do not, but here, you must agree with Bianca and visiting Venezuela one day you will like it a lot.
That is very unhygienic and unfortunately you cannot change them unless you talk to them individually, call a meeting of all members or put up posters. Some may even get offended, so the best thing is to keep on being the weird one with your towel :)
Haha, I'll stick with being weird for a couple of weeks :)
So they don’t take several showers throughout the workout? The only logical option...
lol!
🤔🙄 .......it is not time to throw-in the towel! As they say... 😂 hang on to that towel Mark! 😝😰 🤣 have a nice cleansing shower and change after all that sweat! Oh my lanta!! That aughta strengthen up your stomach!! 👉 wishing you great workouts!! 😉 Hahaha! 🏋️♂️💪🏃♂️ (ewww!🤢)
I'm hanging on!
It is groce... At our gym, Zutphen Holland :), there are also several guys not using towels although it is mandatory. I have already complained about it cause it is really dirty...
hahaha yeah thats the fuckest thing not only in brazil but in other countries also people do exercises and make machines dirty for others and thats something very irritating btw i think its not about cultural difference its about in which gym you are as there are always good people and people everywhere so depends on which gym you are
...
Hahahahaha. Yeah. Yeah. In my country they also leave all the sweaty appliances!! And there's usually no air conditioning in the gym. So you can imagine: Even if you look like a big freak, don't let go of your towel! Also, when you get home, you take a cold shower. It will rejuvenate you and make you feel 20 years old. Greetings and hugs!
