    Shower before the gym????? really?

    ^^This. Why am I going to shower and then have to shower again? Waste of water. Deal with the smell. Sweat smells and creates other bodily smells. I would say suck it up because I bet you don't always leave behind a trail of rose-smelling air, especially after working out.

    I find it much worse to be pushing myself in the gym, breathing hard, and my lungs get bombarded with what smells like a whole can of AXE body spray or perfume!!!

    AMEN! I have a guy at my gym that must run thru AXE by the case! I have to move away from him - it's that bad!

    ehh...then I have to take a shower before and after the gym, much too lazy for that haha

    This is pretty much how I feel. I'm going to stink of sweat within minutes of being there, just not worth it. Just come to expect gyms to be stinky places. I'd have to think that even though those people stink, they still take care of things when they get home.

    That's precisely what she is saying -- she couldn't read it. It took me a minute, but with some effort, I was able to grasp the message.

    I wholeheartedly agree. Yes there is gym funk generated from a good workout. Perfectly normal and obviously to be expected from a good workout in the gym. However, pre-gym funk on top of gym funk is nasty funk. That's not cool!.

    People are not going to smell pretty at the gym. When you sweat all kinds of odors come out of your pores. Like the garlic you had at lunch for example. Get used to it and be a little more tolerant.

    She was probably smelly because of her workout, not because she was smelly before she came to the gym. Why waste water when you're going to get stanky right after and need another shower?

    My thoughts exactly. Why waste the water, you're gonna shower after your workout or at least I hope you would

    When I go to the gym its usually right after work, I show up in my dress clothes and change into my workout clothes when I get there.

    I smell terriffic before my workout, (I even put on deodorant before my workout) but once I start sweating forget about it! You cant help it Perspiration STINKS! and if you're working out and not sweating, you're doing something wrong lol.

    Congrats, your body chemistry and flora are different from everyone else. I'm not showering pre-gym, but I also don't have crotch funk going on and I wear clean gym clothes.

    People need to be aware of their personal odors and take corrective measures.

    So I won't shower pre-gym, and you can continue making a mockery of the English language and we'll live happily ever after.

    I always take a quick shower before the gym in the morning. It does 2 things....1.) Gets rid of your funk & 2.) wakes me up. It is not ok to come into the gym smelling like *kitten*.

    Here's another thing....if you're running on the treadmill (or any machine for that matter), please keep a towel handy to wipe off with. It's not ok to drip everywhere and then clean it up after. It's f-ing gross.

    I was raised to conserve water. There are too many people in the world who go without it for me to waste it by taking a shower only to avoid offending your delicate sensibilities. I don't run the water when I brush my teeth and I am certainly not going to shower 3 times a day because I sweat at the ****ing gym.

    Let's not be silly, here.

    I agree with you. I grew up learning to conserve water. Whats the point in showering so many times in one day? Come on now.
    good for u..u want a cookie!!..

    I'm sorry, but your logic is useless. Not to mention, I'm sure you are a grown, well-rounded, and educated woman. Please use that education that you/your parents/the government paid for.

    I agree entirely. And, if you sweat (how disgusting is that?) during your workout, I think you need to shower during the workout, get dressed in clean workout clothes, douse yourself with cheap cologne or perfume, and resume your lifting routine. Anything less would be uncivilized. :sad:

    Are you kidding me? You want people to waste water taking a shower, before they go do something that is going to make them nasty and smelly? Assuming you've showered relatively recently (like in the last 24 hours), and haven't done anything else to get nasty and smelly, there is absolutely no reason to shower before working out. Also as others have pointed out, this smell is more likely to be the result of people not properly washing their gym clothes, than people not properly washing their bodies.

    What's next, do you want me to wash my hands before cleaning the cat box?


    Oh, and I would much rather smell BO than whatever terrible perfume/body spray people put on. That stuff makes my eyes burn, and gives me a headache.
