These are the safety contraptions a gym in Hong Kong is using to reopen — take a look. (via CNBCMakeIt)

for Opening Up America state that gyms in states that are in the first phase of reopening "can open if they adhere to strict physical distancing and sanitation protocols.")

That means, you have to spray, wait a couple minutes, and then wipe equipment before you can safely use it.
