Do you judge others on their workout clothes?

...I wear make-up when I work out.

I don't put make-up on to workout, but I don't bother to take it off before. I don't wear hoochie makeup, but I'm really uncomfortable outside of the house without at least foundation on, and I don't need to add that discomfort to the list when I'm still not comfortable at the gym yet. Whatever, I know I'm a hot mess when I'm done, but it takes about twenty minutes of working out before I stop giving a rats tush how ridiculous I look.

I workout in a very very old v-neck hane's men's shirt. It has holes, and probably some stains, but daaaaamn is it comfortable. I have nice black workout pants. Most of the mornings I workout, the cardio area is filling with seniors, so I've seen some pretty eccentric outfits

Certainly not the style of clothes. Unfortunately, any time you get a large group of people together in one place, you get a certain percentage of crazy.

Like people who want to lift weights barefoot or in flip flops
Then, yes, I judge.

^This! This dude was heavy lifting in his socks the other day at the gym. WTF?????? o_O Like a bad car accident, I won't be able to look away when something happens to him.

No. Who are we to judge?

I dont think I need to be in the gym if thats what I am doing there...lift away!

I work out at a university rec center. At six thirty AM I'm just impressed that people are functional!

I might judge the fashion majors who come in all decked out with pretty nails but that's mostly because I'm jealous of their 20 year old skinny selves who have time to party, put on make up and do their nails, work out AND go to college full time! I hear them chattering in the showers as I struggle to get my swim suit off my fat body and have to smile remembering when having a TA that had a thick accent was SUCH A BIG DEAL! Yeah - I'm jealous!

Otherwise it's not much as a 40 something to keep up (fashion wise) with the women in their 50s and 60s who are using the pool or lapping me on the track. We all dress for function!:drinker:

I'm the exact opposite... I figure if I am going to get disgustingly sweaty (which I do, it's nasty), I should wear old crappy t-shirts and sweat pants!!!:happy:

Ditto!

lakersfan4life

Only women who work out wearing a bra. A bra is not a shirt.

huh, where do you work out? im going to have to check out this gym.

Jeff92se

I've seen women do this. Not a Victoria Secret bra (oh I wish) but sports bra. But usually have two?

But I can't make up my mind to be judgemental about it or be that guy that stares and makes her unconfortable.

leilani♥

Honestly if I see a woman wearing a slutty outfit to the gym then yes I judge. In my head I'm like "what are you wearing?" There's quite a few at my gym all shapes & sizes that like to dress up all sexy to work out. I don't get it.

skierxjes

I never match hahahaha

Come to FL, they're every where. Course I can understand that as it's hotter'n hell most of the year. If I ever look decent in just a sports bra I may take it up too...

I'm at the local Y so I probably haven't seen this. Is there an example pic?

It's been years since I've been at some of the night club gyms like Ballys, LA fitness etc.

GreenGettingLean

Personally, I really really love workout clothes But who am I to judge what someone else wears? For all I know, that's all they can afford. Or maybe they've NEVER set foot in a gym before and this is their first time. I distinctly remember wearing a huge baggy t-shirt the very first time I ever went to a "real" gym several years ago. Did I look cute and put together? Hell no, but at least I was taking the first steps towards taking care of myself and rising above my physical limitations. Don't judge! Be glad that person has enough confidence to walk into a gym at all.

*runs off to buy new running shoes before anyone notices I mowed the lawn in mine last week*

InvictusPheonix

kind of the opposite?
I usually look mildly homeless/definitely questionable, and unless people are in really really ridiculously good shape, i take it as kind of douche bagg-ish when people coordinate/look super put together in gym clothes....
....
...i cant help but subtly think "did you spend more time picking them out than using them?"

I go to Gold's gym and I saw a girl also who was running on the treadmill in her sports bra. It used to also think bad about people who did that; HOWEVER, isn't wearing a bikini in public more revealing than a sports bra????? If a girl can flaunt it and I don't see bare boobs then flaunt it!

Jeff92se

I have no problems with a touch of side boob

mideon_696

I imagine i would be judged on occasion, lol.

Like the other day, i turned up for my upper body session in what i was wearing all day, lol. long shorts to just below the knee, random t-shirt, chuck taylors, baseball cap.

Got the work done, got out.

This is very common for me. I dont get caught up in the while "gym attire" bull****.
Usually wear board shorts, but if i'm in normal shorts, couldnt care less.

__natalie__

I don't, at all, apart from this one time when a girl came into the gym (it was summer, and it was HOT) wearing a winter coat, over the top of a gym outfit. All buttoned up and everything. She then preceded to take off her shoes before going on the treadmill. Very strange!

Oh yeah, and yesterday when I saw a guy lifting in a pair of Toms, but I was more concerned about the complete lack of support than anything else!

Victoriav99

Clothes don't bother me, but I do get annoyed with bad gym etiquette. Can't stand it when people are on their cell phones OR Worse- have their music playing without ear phones.... how is that okay? I don't want to hear your music while I'm playing mine (With earphones on- YES its that loud sometimes),

Jeff92se

Lots of judgey (hungry) people here.

KevDaniel

Nah I don't judge.. I am there to sweat and get stinky so a T-Shirt and sweats are my go to clothes. It is better than those people I see all decked out in their $300 get up who walk around and do barely anything..

However I have seen some people in jeans that made me do a double take

zorbaru

the only time ive really thought it was a bit odd is when i saw someone running on the tready wearing jeans and a shirt.

Jeff92se

Slutty?

tam120

the reason I always wear black

Jeff92se

Too much?

Lucylaser

sometimes i just like to put on flourescent orange and turquoise plaid head to toe when I hit the gym. it makes me laugh. i get through my workouts better with a sense of humor!

shauna121211

If it's not matching I'm like "gah!"

Lol... seriously? It's going to be covered in sweat if you're doing it right, why does it have to match?

The only time I judge is when people wear ridiculously matching outfits and a face full of make up! The gym isn't a damn fashion show! :P

calliope_music

in general no. i try to at least match slightly when i work out though.


i really only judge if i can see your *kitten* cheeks or balls hanging from the bottom of your shorts. not cool.

jeffsgal105

OP are you a fashion student or something? You have way too much time on your hands to have so many opinions on the pictures you posted. Maybe post what you wear.

adagolden

Generally, no - everyone is sweating and working. I do wonder about people in the gym in street shoes, however, and I SERIOUSLY wonder about those souls in flip-flops.

seriously, I can't stand people in jeans, flip flops....either come to work out or don't come at all. None of this half *kitten* crap really.
