But which wipes or sprays are best? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that "diluted household bleach solutions, alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, and most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective." Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency has released an updated list of approved cleaning agents that are thought to be effective against the coronavirus. The list includes products like Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and Lysol Disinfectant Spray.
If wipes aren't enough to ease your fears (i.e. the thought of using public equipment still gives you the heebie jeebies), you can always opt to bring your own. Of course you can't lug around a squat rack or a Pilates reformer, but you can bring smaller props and accessories. For instance, many of my yoga students bring their own blocks and straps to class now. Other equipment you can carry to and from the gym or studio include lighter dumbbells, bands, and exercise mats.
