    I'm going to say a little prayer tonight that guys that go to my gym are allowed to go shirtless even though I don't usually pray. There is nothing wrong with a little skin for goodness sakes people!

    Do whatever the hell you want and screw what others think. In my gym, it's not allowed but its always comfortable there. However when I'm running outside and it's 90+ freaking degrees, I'm doing what's best for my body and comfort level and yes you can still overheat in a wicking tank. Don't like it, don't look. Sorry if you lack the confidence, not my issue.

    Does not bother me. Sports bra is considered to be a fitness outfit. Do you think that if I came all the way to the gym with my sports bra but forgot a shirt, I would turn around and leave??? No way.

    Personally, I think it's unnecessary and embarrassing.

    I've worn just a sports bra and shorts when running outside in summer... otherwise I get too hot.

    In the gym though.. not so much. I've seen girls do it, and admire their confidence but I would never do it.

    I find whenever I wear just a sports bra to the gym, other members seem uncomfortable when I get on the spin bike.

    if you have the body for it, yes you could and is encouraged to wear a sports bra. if you don't have the body for it, don;t.

    I think it's totally fine as long as it has good support and coverage.

    Not picking on anyone in particular here but the "if you have the body for it" comments are really starting to grind my gears. Whether someone has "the body" for anything is irrelevant, unless we are talking about catwalk modelling or fitness modelling - something of that ilk. I, personally, find chest hair unattractive - but I'm not going to say someone of a hirsute persuasion should not sunbathe or swim in my pool. A gym is a GYM - not a fashion parade. If someone, regardless of size, feels better working out with their vest off then all props to them.

    YOUR PERSONAL likes and dislikes about OTHER PEOPLES bodies should not stop them working out as they feel comfortable - within the limits of public decency laws of course. ;-)
