    There needs to be a sign on the front door. I'm part of the 4am club and there are some guys that have actually made my eyes water. Plus it gives me a massive headache for the day.

    There should also be a ban on girls who wear makeup to the gym. Seriously, if you don't plan on sweating and ruining your perfectly applied mascara and caked on foundation, then get the hell out. There's no need to look cute when you're working out and you're taking up machines.

    Why do you care what I look like when I work out? I kill the gym, 6 days a week. But I prefer to look good doing it. And yup, that means makeup and cute outfits. I sweat like crazy, and wear waterproof eye makeup. Never fails to boggle the mind why so many people care what others do. How about you worry about YOUR workout, and leave me to mine.

    This entire thread is soo funny to me as I sit here SMH. People we live in the "world" not a box and although some people perfumes can be overwhelming I can't take offense to their choice to wear it. I simply relocate to another machine. My poor son absolutely loves AXE- I think its all about the stupid commercials and he used so much one day that I woke up gagging. It was hilarious and eye watering all at the same time but I'm proud that my son thinks so much of his personal hygiene that he wants to smell extra good. luckily he uses so much that it runs out quickly and I don't replace it often. But really we can't say that the gym should be band of scented products because of your allergies. Most people that are highly allergic tend to stay home because the world just may kill them.

    sounds to me like so many of you are worrying about everything other than what you should be-YOUR WORKOUT!
    get over it-the world doesn't revolve around you and your sensitivities, allergeries etc. People do go to the gym AFTER work!

    Oh, and anyone that sprays Axe instantly gives me a screaming headache. It's the worst smell in the world. But I can't expect people not to spray it. Except my son. I throw that **** out when he buys it. But as much as I hate it, I'm not entitled to demand that people not adhere to their own basic hygiene at the gym or elsewhere.

    And I might even text between sets, just to piss off a whole other group of whiners ;)

    I take it you've never been around a burped colostomy bag.

    Actually, I have. My dad has late stage colon cancer and has one. And I still think Axe is worse.

    Waterproof mascara. Why wash my face before my workout? Its a waste of time.

    And to further piss everybody off. I braid and knot my hair before my workout. My body heat during my workout sets it, so I have perfect curls walking OUT of the gym.


    You can look fabulous at the gym, and still have a killer workout.

    PS- the best time to give yourself a facial (exfoliate and extract) and/or use blackhead strips is after a vigorous workout.

    DjinnMarie: Couldn't agree more.

    For those who don't work out first thing in the morning, there's no reason for us to take off our make up before a work out just so people like you who get worked up over something as minor as wearing make up to the gym, can stop complaining.

    If you are waking up and heading straight to the gym, then there's no reason to put on makeup. So if someone wakes up at 5AM, puts on make up, only to go to the gym and sweat it off, I think that's silly. But someone who wakes up, gets dolled up, goes to work, school, volunteer, whatever, and then goes to the gym later in the day, doesn't need to take off their makeup before their workout.

    Damnz, how 'bout you mind your own business and just focus on your workout? Gees.

    ^this!!!

    I wonder why some people feel the need to have others cater to their needs. You don't like it, move to another machine. Some women go to the gym straight from work, get a grip.

    The gym is a place to workout. You sweat, you might not smell like daisies but hey you respect the workout. Nevermind how ya smell, working out makes you look sexy. :P

    But...I have to yield when we talk about people who don't hit the showers AFTER the gym and bade into buckets of deodorant.
    Now that's an issue. Seriously.

    one of my sisters wears Thierry Mugler angel and that gives me a really bad headache to the point where I can't think straight and she'll spray it in my bedroom and I don't complain. so constant moaning about sprays and perfumes in a massive gym where the smell diffuses and you're not in an enclosed space and close proximity to the source of the smell is just pathetic if you ask me. Also, if you're going to the gym your obviously trying to get a fit/hot body right? so why not take the first step and make yourself look hot while you're getting fit? if you have a problem with people wearing make-up (even if it is running all over their face) either close your eyes or be grateful it's not you, because getting annoyed about it makes you look pathetic and jealous.

    This makes me infinitely happy that I invested in home gym equipment. Not because of all the things that people are complaining about in this thread - but because in my gym, there is no judgment.

    Yeah, this thread is 100% unfun. Lots of flailing about though. That's like virtual cardio.

    I have my own gym at home too...

    ...but management there is really critical of me...constantly judging my level of effort and results.

    He...um, I mean, "they" also leave the bar loaded after workouts too.

    Perfume gives me (and many others) headaches. That being said, I don't really mind if someone is wearing it like a normal person. It's when someone walks by that smells as though they've just taken a bath in their perfume that really bothers me.

    I think if I were at the gym and someone was wearing perfume, I would just move to a different area - no big deal.

    I work out at home anyway. No judgement if I'm wearing makeup, on my attire, hair, or scent. :)

    Not sure where you're from - but where I live a lot of younger women wear it. I personally don't (I'm allergic) - but when I worked in customer service it was mostly younger women (mid 20's - 30's) that would come in with the most on. And I always remembered because if it was strong enough, I'd have to go out back. :) I guess it all depends on where you live and the people in the city/town.
