Are the trainers nude too, or just the trainees? I didn't see that mentioned in the article. Oh, and this is a hard pass for me.4

I don't care about nudity for the sake of hiding body parts, because I personally think thats silly. As far as I'm concerned, clothing should be for comfor/protection, fashion and sanitation.
It's the last point tbat I'd worry about in a gym. Just like I really wouldn't want to sit naked on a bus seat that an unclean weirdo has just had his dirty *kitten* on, I would be very leery of touching equipment that has seen more than it's fair share of untrustworthy Alli farts and drippy bladders without protection.20 -
I think a circuit of squats, adductor/abductor machine and vibration plates would certainly work wonders for appetite suppression.16

I just don't see why the world needs nude gym/personal training session. It didn't really say much about the point of it except for providing "cheeky fun". Pretty sure someone doing squats in front of me butt naked is not my idea of fun. Perhaps I am a prude. Good thing my gym is "clothing required."2

Yeah, I’m not sure there’s a physical benefit. But “they” say that a person is more likely to stick with a fitness program s/he enjoys and I suppose some people might enjoy exercising nude in the company of other nudies. Maybe?
I have never understood the whole nude beach thing either but it's not hurting me so "different strokes for different folks" I guess.1 -

It 's really no big deal. Once you get rid of the clothes and overcome your cloth bound insecurities, it's all pretty routine & boring.
I belong to a clothing optional club - - have for decades - - and sometimes work out in their gym.
Basic hygiene at such clubs requires the use of towels to sit on everywhere, not just in the gym. You also certainly wouldn' t want to run w/o a bra or jock strap depending on your gender. Shouldn't violate any rules if you do.
Other common sense rules of comfort and hygiene would also apply.6 -

I don't have a problem with it existing, but I will not be going there! I cannot exercise without a bra to start with, so the whole idea just sounds uncomfortable as far as my body is concerned. If there are people who want to join it, more power to them.
Is this gym co-ed too? I would feel uncomfortable (aside from just being naked at the gym) to work with a male fitness trainer--whether he was clothed or nude.
I can understand a nude beach because on the beach you are practically nude anyway and some beaches are topless (not in the USA). And for the most part you are just sitting/lying there or walking or swimming. (No bras or other clothing is really necessary).

I read once that Dick Marcinko lifted heavy nekkid. At home.1
