    Gyms are a place to get sweaty! I sweat buckets every time I work out... Maybe I smell too... I don't know! Honestly I had a bigger problem with the *kitten*-in-a-torn-thong being sooooo visible and in my face than the smell. Oh and I see her every other day in the same clothes! I never stand behind her any more!!
  • Funkster because I don't like raisins in cookies? Hmmm, if raisins in cookies keep away the funk then perhaps we've found our solution. Skip the shower before the gym & eat more oatmeal raisin cookies. Sounds legit. Worth a try at least. :smile:

    Now let's tackle world peace. We can do it!

    Absolutely! Leave it to an MFP thread to take us from Funk--> Oatmeal Raisin Cookies ---> World Peace! Love it!

    Even though I don't normally require clinical strength deo, I do prefer to wear it everytime i know that I'm going to get sweaty. Just to be safe ya know? I guess some people can't smell themselves and if they can they don't care. I work with the public and in the same area as my gym and you never know when one of my customers will recognize me from the gym and I would hate for them to be like "yeah that's the stank *kitten* chick from the gym".

    Last week, I unkowingly stepped in dog crap before I went into the gym. We were all sniffing around, trying to figure out where the crap smell was coming from. After an hour, I sat down and got a big whiff. It was on my shoe. I wish people would clean up after their pets better.
    Ewwwwwwwwww:sick:

    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.

    good for u..u want a cookie!!..

    What kind?

    oatmeal :laugh:

    Are there raisins?
    LMAO

    I would never shower before going to the gym. Heck, most of the time I don't brush my teeth (but then, I mostly run outside or work out in the weight room in my apartment complex. If I was going to a real gym I probably would brush my teeth.)

    Some people get smelly when they work out. Just how it is. Sure, you can put on some deodorant beforehand, but you can only do so much sometimes.

    lol..i see there are some nasty people here..smh..i work out..sweat like hell..and dont smell anything but my degree deodorant..washing up before working out really keeps down the odor unless ur jus a funky person..

    Just because you don't smell your own funk doesn't mean that other people don't smell it. That girl very well could have thought she didn't stink bc you can't always smell what you smell like.
    So, with that being the case, you could be as funky as the next person and people are thinking the same thing about you! :laugh:

    Normally I think people are too harsh in these threads but you seem to be..I don't even know. People smell bad at the gym. Heck, the gym even smells bad itself to me. :-P But that's a waste of water and time that a lot of people don't have.

    We all sweat and have body odor but I know some people don't start off with fresh gym clothes. One dude I play basketball with sometimes wears the same gym clothes without washing them. That's when it gets unbearable.

    Ok, I don't shower before the gym but I do know what she is talking about.

    Lets try this description:

    There are some people, and I'm sure you have all seen at least one person like this, who WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES to the gym two or more days in a row.


    this is me. i admit it. :smokin: i got to the gym 2 sometimes 3 times a day (i work from home and the gym is a 3 blocks away from my house) and i have a limited amount of workout clothes. in my defense i wont wear something more than twice before washing it and it's always worn after being aerated.

    there's only been 1 time someone has said something. my sweat smells like popcorn for some reason and once i walked past a group of girls and heard one of them comment "OMG someone's eating popcorn and i want some right now" :laugh: i wanted to say, "no that's just eau de moi" but i decided against it.

    also i've worked out in some REALLY nasty weight rooms where each weight is 2 pounds heavier just from the funk. that's when i learned a good trick : chew gum while at the gym and rarely smell anything

    oatmeal :laugh:

    I don't like raisins in cookies (only like them in cereal), but now I want an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Dang it! :grumble: Must drink some more water & go to bed. :smile:

    What kind of person doesn't like raisins in cookies? Only a funkster. Raisins are nature's candy, FFS! Cookies mixed with candy!

    Oatmeal is not for cookies. Oatmeal is for breakfast. Raisins are not for cookies. Raisins are for throwing in the trash. Savages.

    Also, I do not shower before I work out because I sweat buckets and am a super funky funkster which is why I work out at home. The only person I offend is myself.

    When you're at the gym, are you really paying attention to anyone but yourself long enough to notice someone frowning at you? When I'm working out, I don't give a *kitten* about anyone else around me, I'm focusing on myself. My point was that neural adaptation leads to you losing the ability to actually smell yourself.

    I'm not trying to justify any of my actions. You're assuming everyone who disagrees with you is "nasty" and that's just plain rude. You have never smelled me, and insulting my personal hygiene habits just because I think it's pointless to waste water showering before getting dirty again does not reflect well on you.

    I so understand you! But you know what's worse?? Imagine a crowded strength training class... I came in a little late and got the only remaining spot, behind a girl with suuuuper tight yoga pants (and by super tight I mean, could see every mole on her *kitten* every time she moved and her slightly torn thong). Also she was all wet from a previous workout and smelled pretty awful as do a lot of us after workouts... Every time we bent down or did squats, not only did I have her *kitten* in my face, I had to smell the godawful smell... Since then, I do NOT like yoga pants..


    ewww. I have trained with people who don't wash and their gi smells like *kitten* sweat. It's really gross when you get traingled by someone and their balls smell through their gi they are right under my nose as I am struggling for air.

    Been there!! When you have to put up with that, gym smells are pretty innocuous.

    I beg to differ. It was, and continues to be, pretty lame.
    ur taking it out of context...
    She took nothing out of context. Rather, she addressed the topic you presented. She also articulated herself quite well, and used proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. Doing so is much more convincing than an argument filled with poor grammar and/or spelling.
    ...u ARE the only person still trying to plead ur case
    Not true. I agree with her stance that some folks aren't aware of their bodily aroma, and you may be guilty of the same. It's very possible.

    Just because people dont want to shower before a workout doesnt mean they are all dirty dirty creatures who eat out of the garbage.

    We cant all be like you, and only smell of rainbows and unicorn farts.
