I've noticed that every time I pee after I've worked out for an hour during the day my urine smells strongly and unusual... Why is this? Does it happen to other people as well? Thank you.

Are you hydrated? That would be my guess. Try upping the water before, during and after your workout...0

Strong urine is usually a sign of dehydration.
It is recommended that the average person drink at least 2 litres of water a day, PLUS more for working out.0 -
Mine does as well. I don't drink a ton of water , but its all I drink. Enough to stay hydrated. I noticed today it kind of smelled like cleaner. lol hope that not TMI. But I have been wondering the same thing.0

It's the ammonia you smell and the solution is more water to drink-I'd bet urine is also a darker yellow.0

I stay hydrated all day and never have that problem. Be sure to get enough fluids before and after working out.0

I'll make sure to drink more water than I already do, thank you for your responses!0

How much water are you drinking per day HopelessM?
I would recommend trying to hit the 1.5 - 2 litre mark on days with no workout and 3 - 4 litres on workout days.
Also, do you take any type of Pre Workout supplements?0
