What odd clothings have you seen people wear at the gym? Women wearing heavy make up, dressing up like you goin to a club. Wearing blue matching soccer kit with yellow and black socks upto the knees, wearing wooly hat in the summer, wearing sleeping wear at the gym. Folks, share your crazy experience..

    Running at the park there are frequently women in full make up and they overwhelm you with perfume... I guess that no better than my fart stink bombs

    OP really takes issue with what other people do in the gym. You'd make major gainz if you'd spend that effort lifting instead.

    I love these threads, and always think of them when a gym newbie makes a post about being scared of being judged at the gym and everyone jumps in with "oh NO, NO ONE pays attention to you, you're just being self conscious!!"

    No judgement, some just like people watching :) Like me...

    The overly short shorts always gets me.. would be so uncomfortable and imagine the major wedgies when you run :s

    I once saw a man in khakis and a sweater vest killing it on the stair mill.

    I gave him mad props. He probably forgot his gym bag and worked out in his street clothes. Didn't look all to comfortable.

    I dress up to go to the gym cause I take a class which is kinda like a hip hop house dance class, and it's fun to get dressed up and dance.

    There's a difference between working up a sweat/perspiration on your clothes and a kilt.

    One word. Chafing.

    I dont specifically get ready to go to the gym, but I go straight from work, so always have on makeup and have my hair done.

    Back to OP....Probably the oddest is the pajama pants and the stocking caps.

    I witnessed someone come into the gym with something along the line of clothes in the picture.

    He did a couple of machines while a girl followed him around (she didn't do a thing) then they both left. Haven't seen either of them since...

    Genuinely looked like something out of a weird hipster sort of fashion show.

    I live in the highlands, it's rude to enter a gym without a kilt on! ;)

    Haha...my friend wore jeans once because he forgot his gym clothes and didn't want to drive home.

    I saw a guy wearing sunglasses once.

    I sometimes wear my favorite pajama shirt when I have been lazy about washing clothes....No one is the wiser, but it is getting kinda threadbare and I should only wear it at home. No anatomy lessons, just very thin.
