I have been wondering...when you see someone at the gym who is covered in sweat, what do you think? I will admit that I sweat quite a bit and am always pretty paranoid about it. I definitely push myself no matter what I am doing and my sweat can prove it! I have just always wondered what people thought when they see that. Silly and stupid, I know! lol

    I always think "I had better sweat at least that much before I leave!"

    I don't think about other people at the gym.

    That is why i feel no shame when curling in the squat rack

    I sweat heavily at the gym, its a little ridiculous. By the time I'm 30mins into my routine I'm dripping on everything. But most times I bring a towel (and if I don't I grab a bunch of those wipes and keep them handy). I really really do try to clean up after myself, I can only imagine how much others hate it.

    I hope people think I killed it! Not "eww lookit that sweaty fat guy try to work out how gross" which is probably what people actually think. :wink:

    Usually when I see fat sweaty guys at the gym I am thinking, "Good for them, they are trying to change."

    Don't ever care. Except this girl today was wearing light gray pants and she had the worse swass I've seen...right up the crack and that was it. Do yourself a favor - no light colored work out pants!

    I'm fine with it if they have a towel and clean up after themselves.. I think to myself....please wipe down your equipment and don't come too close to me. And overall...if it is out of hand sweating..it is gross. that is just how i honestly feel. don't kill me.

    DITTO!!!

    I sweat heavily at the gym to the point that my hair & clothes are dripping to the floor. I only go there to lift weights coz I do my cardio at home or swimming pool.

    One weird thing I notice is that whenever I'm in the locker room and see other women entering and chit chatting with one another, I couldn't see any signs of a partially wet garments or any signs that they sweat despite that they have just finished their body combat or zumba classes.

    I also sweat a lot when I get off the elliptical after 60 min run. There is nothing I (or anyone else) can do about it. One thing I always clean up behind myself, including the steps. I absolutely hate when people get off the machines, leaving them wet and nasty.

    ^ To be fair though, many people don't sweat a lot. I'm one of those people. My shirt never gets soaked even if I have a great workout.
