    Surprisingly, I've seen more crazy things just out and about than in the gym.

    For a while, I would often see a middle-aged guy out power walking during my commute: tight tank over big belly and *tiny* neon shorts. His outfit was never the same from day to day, who knew there were so many bright colors to choose from with workout apparel!

    I once saw a male runner stretching, leg up on a bench...super short running shorts...could not unsee! Longest stoplight ever. He was also wearing neon colored clothing and matching sweatband.

    Probably not surprising that peacocking and neon clothing go together in my mind. :D

    My sister wears make up for the gym about 3 to 5 times a week! Good on her I say. If she can be bothered & it makes her feel good then she's not harming anyone just lining the pockets of Mac & Benefit

    I like how some getupset at what I said and others just keep the conversation moving. I see men doing off the wall stuff as well. We had a homeless walking around just touching the weights for about 20-30 minutes.

    I have also seen the guys who come in and are in a pack of 3-5 and all stand around and lift a little but laugh a lot. You know the Bros of the gym.

    I stay to myself except for the few other veterans I happen to say hello to. The gym for me is all about work and results. No time for the peacocks grunting louder than needed or the women jumping rope with the small tank top on in front of the mirror co stantly adjusting and pulling it down.

    It seems to me that those whom begin a thread to complain're the 1's whom're upset!

    Ahh these types of people are everyone. Life is not complete without these.

    The main culprits at my gym are the ones where they have a face full of complete make up, fake tans, fake eyelashes included, who strut around in their hotpants and bras... But don't actually use the gym equipment???

    I mean, I'm all for body confidence, you go girlssss, but come on? What's the point? I think you're in the wrong place!

    Ever been fully clothed at a hot yoga class? Stretching in a heated room that's around 98 F?
    We have that at my gym and it's very common to see the girls walking around the gym to cool off. No one seems to care

    I wish I could take a picture of this one dude at the gym, he dresses like he just stepped out of the 80s. Also I don't know what is up with guys that wear jeans to work out in. Seriously, is it that hard to get shorts or workout pants. At least make some jean short cutoffs. haha

    You mean like the pants Joey Buttafuoco was wearing back in the day? I forget the name of them, had Zebra Stripes I think.

    I have mostly seen girls with a new face painted over their real one with a tiny sports bra and tiny short shorts. The outfit wouldn't bother me (as i don't mind checking them out ;) )if it wasn't for all the makeup running down their face by the end of their workout.

    LOL my workout cloths.. :P
    But I never wear makeup.. I wash it off before I go to the studio or the gym. Guess I'm a peacock.
    (well I don't powerlift in yoga shorts and a sports bra.. I wear full on clothes when lifting..everything else.. yoga shorts + sports bra :P )

    waterproof make up people.
    i'm a sweater and crier so i always wear waterproof make up. and if i come from work, i still have my make up on

    That would be embarrassing if it happened to me, at least you were cool about it.
