Take a dump before you workout?

Stop going to gym.0

Bring a dog -> blame it on him0

Look at the list of possible causes, and change one small thing at a time, see how your body reacts each time, until you stop farting.
Or go to a yoga class where you'll be surrounded by people farting constantly.0 -
There a lot of ladies in my Pilates and Yoga classes with the same problem. Hard to keep a straight face when you hear "their machine gun noises" when we are doing a "happy baby" or a "downward dog" movement.
Most of us skip the deep breathing exercises when that happens.:blushing:0 -
Noisy fart= trapped air in your intestines from eating/drinking fast, talking a lot.
Stinky fart = food break down and & chemical reactions in your bowel.
Probably something in your diet. Greek yogurt can make people fart like a toxic waste dump, so I am willing to bet it is either dairy or protein related.
Take a look at the flat belly diet. It has a bloat cleanse that is all about calming your gi system. Maybe some of those techniques would work for you.0 -
Are you drinking a shake before you go? I used to be "tooty" until I realized I was lactose intolerant and the shakes I had before going to the gym were made with milk. That could be the problem0

Just say, really loudly, "Phew, who farted? That is rude." Look over at the guy next to you and take a few steps away.0

I may or may not have the same problem! Lmao! It's only when I'm on the treadmill, rarely during my strength workout. I read once that having gas is one way your body gets rid of the weight soooooooooooo I like to imagine that's what's happening. I do eat a lot of fiber and have no intentions of changing that. Better out than in (word to Shrek). When people look around, I look around too like, "Who is that!" I suggest you do that0

Get a home gym and let them rip!.0

I just synchronize it with when my feet hit the treadmill. It mutes out the sound. Then there is no way for anyone to know who did it.0

lmao x20 -
Workout on an empty stomach. I've heard that helps promote fat-burning too. I hated it at first but actually prefer it now - you don't have all that food (and gas) sloshing around in your stomach.
BTW, I'd take you over the guy at my gym who is always smothered in cologne. Ugh.0 -
Hahahaha..I thought you were gonna say that you are THAT guy, who's always dropping the dumbbells..or wearing church shoes to the gym..or sweating all over the treadmill or bench..but never wiping it down.
I laughed when I read you poot alot at the gym...lol, ok, now I feel better..thanks, I needed a good, hearty giggle after my evening on the forums :-)0 -
Do you eat before bedtime ? food don't get digested well when sleeping and that can lead to gas. Usually carbs are the culprit so get your carbs before the workout and the protein after - make breakfast more on the carbs side and dinner on the protein side.0

Good thing a lot of people wear earbuds/headphones at the gym. The gym I go to is constantly being fogged with air freshners... I think I rather smell farts than choke on strong air freshners LOL0
-
You said you have a high fiber diet- does that include fiber one bars? Or anything else with chicory root? Chicory root is like fart fuel. People often think fiber makes them fart, but often its just the damm chicory root.0

Probiotic with live cultures...can find in vitamin section or ask pharmacist0
