    Never. it's so insanely rude.

    I don't want to smell you ("good" or bad).

    Definitely not. It is even worse if you are working out in a pool. The perfume/cologne tends to sit on top of the chlorine fumes in the air and intensifies.

    No. Absolutely not. My reason being that you don't know what scent may offend someone/cause them issues.

    Hate to use myself as an example but I'm hyper-sensitive to scents/other strong smells (as an example, I can smell cigarette smoke from a considerable distance away without seeing the offending item).

    Someone in the gym on an adjacent cardio machine had (to me anyway) really strong aftershave on and it was doing me in. Of course, the more this guy ran, the hotter he got, the stronger the smell was. I had to actually leave the gym in the end.

    I stay away from the cardio machines now as I cannot tolerate the perfume/aftershave some people wear. Although that doesn't particularly bother me as I'd rather be outside cycling/walking/running anyway.

    It would be wise to not do that. Anything you spray on your body combine with sweat will be more offensive than "traditional body sweat."

    Well, we have our grandparents generation who still go to the gym. I find it is only them who are wearing it. When you are 80+at the gym....hell you deserve to wear whatever you want! Lol I smell more guys body odor then anything or what about the obnoxious lifting dudes trying to impress people by dropping the weights so loud ( while looking to see who was watching) or the lady on the treadmill always on her cell phone, sometimes even on speaker. Lots of gym annoyances. Haha

    I've never encountered this at the gym, but if it was some odor controlling body spray and I had to choose between that and BO, I'd definitely choose the body spray (or whatever).

    Please no! Even when I run in the park & pass people drenched in perfume I feel like I am choking! Honestly, other than running past someone smoking, perfume-drenched-walkers are the worst! Keep it for after your workout.

    Wait... What?? There are runners who can run while smoking? I can't even run... well... mostly at all.

    Ha, I meant people smoking while standing still or walking along the path, not running!

    Nope. I don't get migraines from it. I don't get hives or nosebleeds. I just don't think most of them smell good. And most people use WAY too much. Don't be "that guy". :+1:
