    I get looks because I'm the only chick there in Vibrams, soaked in sweat, with running shorts and oversized t-shirts pounding on a treadmill. I get so sweaty that I'm literally drenched.

    Disagree.

    Those people subsidize my membership fees. I'm there for me and I could give a hoot what anybody else does.

    I personally cant go to the gym without some form of make up on, I dont know why I do this because I swear it all off :/
    Anyways my thing is always...why do girls/women wear next to nothing and then complain when everyone looks at them?
    Am missing something?

    For now I will continue to work out in my StarCraft/modern warfare (insert any other gaming tshirts) and joggers

    I just shove a pair of joggers on and an oversized shirt, I really couldn't give a donkeys what people think of me, I'm working out for me, not anyone else!

    as for the talent watching comment.

    some gyms ARE more of meat markets than others.

    when i lived in NYC i'd check yelp and there were quite a few gyms i didnt join because some dudes had left comments in the ratings section that there werent enough hot women in the gym or that there were too many fatties.


    not that i give a crap about that in general, but my first NYC gym was a meat market like that and i quickly discovered that the behavior wasnt just for the members since the staff was also the same way. if you were hot or had a nice body then they'd be more than willing to help, if you weren't then they were too busy or would ignore you.

    I've ended up at the gym with like bike shorts and a short top once or twice. I was slightly embarrassed, but I rocked it all the same. :p

    Tho, I feel sort of awkward when I'm really pushing, you know when it's to the point you start grunting, panting and "moaning"... That's when I appreciate that our gym has a ladies-only section so I don't have to do that in front of the BEASTS. They usually stay in the other room. ^^

    which nyc gyms are like that? i haven't noticed that at my nyc gym, but maybe i'm just oblivious. i generally don't talk to anyone there or ask for help.

    Agreed. I think its the same for makeup. I saw a girl at the gym with make up on and then after her workout her false lashes were coming off. Talk about a turn off.

    I don't care. I don't need more competition for the squat rack or elbow room in Zumba class.

    As long as they aren't blocking the equipment while talking to each other, I don't care.

    Maybe you should work out harder so you don't notice others.

    I try not to notice other people, though it can be hard if I am sweating like crazy on the equipment and need some sort of distraction. I did notice two girls today in matching bright pink tops, with matching bright pink trainers, that reminded me somewhat of something out of sweet valley high. I noticed those who are simply pedalling insanely slowly while looking at their phones, and others sitting on the weight machines, maybe doing a movement once every few minutes, but, eh, to each their own.

    Come on girls, that's not what the gym is about..It's called working out for a reason..Stop caring what you look like and do some exercise..

    Agree?
    I disagree. That's why *I* go to the gym, but it's always nice to have some eye candy.

    Yeah I am not sure why girls care so much about their looks when going to work out either. I have seen many girls wearing full make up, cute little outfits, and hanging on the machine so they don't have to work as hard. Those ones come and go though, they never seem to stick around too long at all.
