Gymnasiums can be a breeding ground for communicable disease. A survey was conducted on the undergraduates at WPI to gather data on gym hygiene. Based on the data, suggestions can be provided to improve sanitation. Research was conducted on diseases prevalent in gymnasiums, in order to facilitate recommendations for better sanitary habits. A simulation modeling the spread of disease can further educate students on the importance of gym hygiene.
