Why can't they be... taught? To clean themselves?

They can. But they also have to be.

Part of the cycle is new kids coming in, smelling bad, getting bullied for smelling bad, and changing their habits as a result. And then more new kids come in, and the pattern repeats. But you do need a baseline.

I've been in gyms that smell absolutely foul. And the folks who have normalized the odor simply don't notice. If nobody says anything or otherwise makes an issue of it, the folks running the place don't change the policies or put in the legwork to clean the place up.
