I have several of the cutest workout pants but when it comes to a workout top - T-SHIRT please. I'm at the gym to get rid of my belly and muffin top - NO WAY will I wear the cute workout tops that shows the rolls, fat arms, etc. Anyone else have this problem? :-(

    Yes! I am always pretty self-consious if I'm wearing tight workout clothes. I know that the "fitness" shirts get rid of sweat better or whatever-it-is that they do... but I always choose to work out in one of my freebie old t-shirts that are a little too big for me. I think that when I have lost a bit more weight, I will be more excited about working out in loose-fitting flowy racerback tanks with a cute sports bra, though!

    yes same here! I just got a couple workout tshirts from old navy, I wear them with their compression capris - they are good at hiding the muffin top & belly but still look like proper gym clothes.

    At time I wish people would wear t-shirts more. Sometimes people at the gym wear clothes that are too revealing.

    I agree, Nightterror21! I think the people wearing the revealing clothes are the ones trying to pick someone up. :-) Not me - I'm doing my thing, sweating, & trying to hide the fat that I do have. lol

    I totally agree that "fitness" shirt options suck!! I can never find one that's not skin tight, and I hate clingy tops! I always wear baggy t-shirts and cute work out bottoms... my trainer teases me, but hey, my work out, my comfort level!

    I just don't know why they're sized so differently than a normal shirt or t-shirt. I wear a large in shirts/t-shirts, but an XL fitness top looks like I'm bursting out of it!! So frustrating...

    I always wear loose burn out or muscle tanks to the gym. They are comfortable and they are loose around the midsection.

    Good to know I just bought some compression pants and tees from there the other day.

    I love American Apparel v-necks. I've had both of mine for close to four years and they are only now starting to fade/get holes. I also like the v-neck style because it's more ventilation (and ok, it's flattering!).

    I like that I can also wear it with jeans for the weekends :).

    The tri-blend is also super soft and amazing.

    If you're more comfortable wearing T-shirts, then just wear t-shirts. I work at the gym, and lots of people do. It's important to find outfits you feel comfortable in.

    If you were really doing your own thing, sweating, & trying to hide the fat that you have you wouldn't have time to be so judgemental ;)

    I work out wearing proper shoes, proper bottoms, proper bra and then, despite having a couple of proper sleeveless tops, I'm in an Avengers, The Flash, Green Lantern, Bananaman or other such T shirt. It keeps the reflection in the mirror recognisably me, even with the Capris and trainers that aren't my standard wear.

    I second the old navy shirts! Their cotton razor backs are the best! I hope they get more in stock this year. I just bought something similar to this at Target. Best workout shirt ever! It hides it all for me!

    I took the bottom of one of my older workoutshirts, cut it off and sewed to the bottom of another shirt.
    It looks like a layered shirt & through luck, matches my workout pants.

    The real question is why don't they make workout t's in longer lengths? I can find long workout tanks, but not t's.

    I can't be the only one who wants a workoutshirt that covers my stomach when I'm doing jumping jacks, or overhead arm waving stuff.

    I have this same issue, so I buy these jerseys for like 6 bucks that walmart just released. They are actually really cute it looks like a wife beater with a tank top underneath and its fairly loose
