Proper attire at the gym

scribb

People should wear whatever they feel comfortable wearing to work out in. We are all shapes and sizes. We are there to work out and get into shape. We are not there for A fashion show.

Hi all!! Just workout. If you are worrying about what someone is wearing, you're not there to workout yourself. Get off the machine and let another person get it in while you judging.

I usually will wear a speedo

I don't mind people wearing tight/ill fitting clothes regardless of their size as long as they are comfortable, but I hate seeing young girls in my gym wearing the most revealing outfit they can, bending waaaaaaaay to far over the machines so everyone gets a full on butt/cleavage view and trying to get the guys to notice them with the porn noise routine (uh uh uh uh UH UHHH UHHHHHHH UHHHHHHHH). Anyone in street clothes like jeans etc is asked to change or to leave and there are signs everywhere that say everyone must wear proper shoes, no flats/boots/sandals etc as they would cause injury.

I have a skort, I wore it once to a gym and was pretty much laughed out of the place by the "proper" gym goers. It was pointed out to me that maybe I shouldn't have worn so much pink to the gym if I wanted to be taken "seriously"....I never went back.

I agree with this. I like people watching but don't give a hoot what people are wearing - their size is doesn't matter. Nothing wrong with a bit of pink mate

Lol, I was like "my pinkness offended the big strong men?? Oh horror" and promptly swooned on the floor like the nice little fair lady they expected.

You know we've all seen all types of people of all different shapes and sizes but there has to be some sort of rule or gym etiquette on clothing. For example, today I saw two different types. The first was an older lady wearing jeans and what looked to be a sweater. The jeans were too long and I actually worried she would trip. She had casual non supportive shoes which again I worried for her. (I know it's none of my business.). The second, was a heavy girl which I am guessing she had just begun hitting the gym scene. She was wearing the tightest warm ups with a shirt that was a little to small. Her friend who was fit was in a spaghetti tank top and mini workout pants which is fine for her bc she really was fit. I just do not understand why she would put on such discomfortable clothing to workout. It's bad enough the gym is a torture chamber! I bet if she would bend down to reach for a weight she would of shown someone her *kitten* crack. Anyway I was just curious to see what y'all think ...

As far as the older lady, safety always first. Hopefully she is well.
I think you are being judgemental about the larger girl and what is comfortable to her. Especially to follow up with what you say about her friend, “...but it was fine for her because she really was fit” comes off as extremely rude to me.

I laugh hysterically when I see girls in a full set of makeup at the gym! LOL

OUCH!!
I have gone to the gym during lunch in full make up.
I wasn't there to look pretty.. but I have limited time and needed my burn!!!
Yes, some women do go to pick up guys and look cute, but that doesn't mean all of us in make up are there for that.

Same. I don’t understand why people judge makeup either! What is so wrong wearing makeup? Just because you are going to work your buns off doesn’t mean you can’t do your daily routine beforehand. I wore makeup because I had a meeting afterward. The make up was part of the day. The gym was part of the day. That equals makeup at the gym.
And even if ladies do their makeup for the sole purpose of looking good, more power to them! I always encourage confidence in people.
Stop judging. Seriously. Focus on yourself. You don’t know their circumstances and preferences, and it isn’t your business. You are wasting your own life.
