I pushed an 8lb baby out a small hole and didn't make that noise
I was a labor and delivery nurse for 7 years. I find that hard to believe, unless you had an epidural, but I digress. People should be so concerned with what everyone else is doing or wearing. I'll grunt and exhale loudly if I want to.0 -
Having a baby and weight training--- so different. Not even a close comparison. Try another complaint about people. You seem very distracted by people at your gym. That's to bad. Very judgmental. Be more excepting of people, everyone is different.-1

if see through trousers make these women feel good about themselves, more power to them. doesn't affect me at all0

I pushed out a 3lb log after eating an extra large burrito with extra Sirracha the night before. And I didn't make that noise. But if I have a near max squat or dead and making that noise is the difference in me pulling the weight/not getting hurt, then sorry, your sensitive ears are just going to suffer.
I suggest Planet Fitness for you-2 -

I am sure it effect some men at the gym. I have witness a guy who turned away from the mirror while doing bi ceps curls to look at a girl in yoga pants.
Well seeing that kind of thing makes me laugh, so I guess it's free entertainment!

I suspect they don't know or don't care. I, personally, always check pants before I buy them and every time I put them on. Call me modest in that way. I do not want my skin (which happens to be pretty pale) to show through see through black workout wear.
What I have found is if they are the proper size (which is usually one size up from jeans/slacks), they will not do that. Also, if they are made of substantially thick enough material and contain at least 12% spandex, they usually do not have any issues of being see through.
Cotton based yoga pants and some of the very thin running pants can be very see through, especially if they are too small for me.0 -

I wasn't judging, just saying I get distracted. I didn't say grunting while exercising is bad, just that it pulls my attention away from my own tasks. If someone is groaning and grunting and they are not in my sight, I sometimes think they are hurt or in distress. I usually wear headphones when I exercise anyway to help keep my mind on myself.0 -

Well it sounds like you are in the right place. I had to help people who get stuck benching for example without a spotter many times at my gym. Especially if someone is about to prove me wrong on a lift like that without a spotter.0 -
lol, I made baby, me tough.
Meh, too many kids out there. I think people need to realize doing that isn't really helping society or the world.-4 -

Why is everyone so worried about everyone else. For real! You are at a gym to workout, I am so much in a zone when I am at the gym I don't have time or mental space to checkout everyone else, what they are wearing, the noises they are making etc. And if pants are see through, who really cares anyway? Do some polka dots really throw you that far off your game that you can't recover? I guess my simple mind just doesn't understand why everyone needs to be sooooooo concerned about everyone else. Focus on YOU which is why you are there in the first place. Sheesh!0

So here's my thought process: "These leggings are clean. My butt looks awesome." That's pretty much the end of that.
cheers!

I think you are going to the wrong gym.
A proper modern gym has rules that prevent women from showing skin above the ankles or past the wrists.

lol. I am a shorty shorts wear-er. I love how my legs look and I work hard at it so I'm going to flaunt it. Also once I got used to wearing shorts, leggings are just too hot. Not trying to pull guys at all, it just makes me feel good. I'm sure women judge me, but I dont give a f...0 -
Some of mine are bit see-through I think, when down in a full squat, but honestly I don't really care. I have a big butt and a small waist--if I get a bigger size they will shimmy down. I go to an all women's gym so I think that helps my comfort. But I'm there to get my workout done, and if someone is distracted that's their problem.0

I find this really hard to believe. I have had 2 babies one 7lb 5oz and one 6lb 6oz and the noises that were coming out of me were hellish!! And that was WITH an epidural for both!0 -
lol at branflakes. And I agree with Yoovie, too. And I don't really care if someone can see I have striped undies on. Actually I am seeing a lot more styles that have see through/panty hose like sections (usually the back or tummy area) or hamstring or calf stripes. No my thing but they look kinda cool on people with the body for it.

Have you seeing a woman lift in leggings that show the muscles in your body?0

I do the butt/bend check in the fitting room- and as long as you can't see out and out skin I'm good- I don't wear underwear under them so that's not the concern.No_Finish_Line wrote: »
I do- adds at least 10 pounds to my squat- and 15 to my dead.
Neon colors adds at least another 5.0 -

Do people really think women wear see-through leggings on purpose? Especially when those leggings tend to only be see-through in extremely stretched positions. I'm going to guess there are one or two in the world, but give me a break!
I didn't even realize it was a thing until there was the whole Lululemon debacle. Now, I bend over and check for see-throughness when trying on leggings in the store. I'm sure I still have a few that are somewhat see-through. TBH, if it reeeeaaallly bothers you, that's your problem for checking out my @ss when I'm squatting at the gym.0 -

Why is there a problem? I really don't care personally because A) kids below a certain age are not allowed in the workout area and the human body is not something to be ashamed of. I'm too focused on killing myself and my own workout to even really notice. If that is something the OP is focused on, maybe you're not working hard enough. When you're pouring sweat or are completely burned out and you have 30 more reps to go, someone's pants or shorts is the last thing on your mind.0

It's not just gyms, I've seen this out in the real world also. I'd like to give these women the benefit of the doubt, that maybe in different lighting the clothing becomes see-through.0

They said there would be women in yoga pants in this thread..........0
