    i've never seen it. it seems like more of an outdoor choice. gym's have aircon and there's sun outside... figures

    I agree, have only seen it outside. I imagine in my area, a girl wouldn't be well received in that get up.

    Once, she was in tiny clothes and needed two sports bras.

    The serious gym goers at one of my gyms definitely did. It was certainly motivational seeing what you could look like with some hard work!

    In hot yoga classes I've attended, several women wore sports bras or sports bra-like tops. But some of the gyms I've been to have rules about exposing your stomach, so that's one reason lots of women don't. (Not to mention the trillions of other reasons). But sometimes I wish it wouldn't seem so unusual if I did wear mine to the gym. I have one top in particular that is basically a sports bra, but with a bit more coverage (sort of like a shrunken tank top), and I love running in it, but I only wear it shirtless when I'm visiting my hometown; no one can see me when I'm running out in the country. Haha.

    Uncovered sports bras are not allowed at the gym I go to. Only guys get to sport bare midriffs.

    I've done it a few times. Usually I just do it when running outside.

    I see it daily no matter what season it is (I live in CA).

    I pass by a lake on my way to work and this morning I counted close to 10. Not sure about at the gym though, but I assume there too.

    I see it at my gym. Not often, but it does happen. Mostly in the classes.

    I see girls at my gym wearing only sports bras. They are usually the super fit people that live there, or the really young skinny teenagers.

    I have... usually when I am sweating like crazy and didn't snag a towel for class... the tank comes off and becomes my sweat towel, lol. But I've never gone to the gym planning to just wear a sports bra... sometimes I do work out like that at home.

    No myth. I see it at the gym I attend, more so in the classes.

    I don't go to a gym, but I have seen a few girls out on the trail running in just a sports bra, so I would have to say it's not a myth. Maybe you go to the wrong gym.
