people talking behind my back at the gym

Forget them, they don't matter in life.

Why did she feel the need to share this? If I were her, I don't think I'd be validating their childishness by directly passing it along. If they don't sweat, then they are either not doing the exercise or they have some serious issues.

First - wait until they give you the shower stuff because free stuff

Then next, report it to the gym's manager as harassment.

Last....go about and kick butt as usual...sweaty and with a grin

First off, please don't make poor eating choices because of the ignorance of others. Do NOT let them have that power over you. Same with the "high school" crowd at the gym. If you take a daily shower, shower after you work out, wear deodorant, wash your work out clothes and you know there's not a medical cause - find a new group to work out with. Maybe during work outs you might use a clinical deodorant/antiperspirant. They are a little more expensive, but worth a shot.

Good for you for working out. Don't let anyone deter you from your goals.

I was working out at the gym today minding my own business when a lay comes in and asks to speak with me alone. She told me a bunch of the girls in spin class on Tuesday were making fun of me because i sweat a lot and smell like it after my work out. My response was duh!! They then went on to say they bought me a bunch of hygiene stuff. I take showers i can't really help it that i sweat a lot. I don't know am i being to sensitive? She said they were laughing at me as well. I feel like I'm in school again.

What. The. Fudge?

Is sweat supposed to smell great now? Is sweating a bad thing? I...buh. guh....NGGG.

Can't take it. Screw them.

I look like I've been running in the rain and generally smell awful after I lift. I wasn't aware that was noteworthy.

I would have invited her to take a whiff then proceeded to tell her if she or they have an issue with you it was a nice day for an outdoor boxing class with you as the teacher. Sweetie don't let vultures steal your joy and don't allow them to force you to go backwards. You keep doing you. And let those buzzards know you have a friend that plays poker that lays her knives on the table as a wakeup call. Nerve of some people.!

If they worked out their bodies as hard as their mouths, they'd sweat too! And I would have told them that as well. lol! but that's me!

Well, it was good to have the heads up so when they do confront you, you will take the stuff with a smile and say thanks! I like previous advice about reporting them, but I don't know how effective that would be at a gym. They might get on you worse if you report them and nothing comes of it, but they find out. Who knows.

Fling some sweat on them... you know, "accidentally".

Wow that girl is a bully and her little snippy friends are too. I think you should report their harassment to the management at your gym. I'm not kidding. You're probably not their first target.

You're an adult. You're paying to be there and you have the right to sweat when you work out! And they have no right to harass you. You're not in High School P.E., you have a gym membership, and you shouldn't have to put up with that.

That girl wasn't trying to help you. She was trying to hurt you.

Sounds like, mission accomplished, and you really need to report them to management.

I'll tell you the truth though. This is why I work out home. When I push myself to really do my step aerobics, I do not want anyone else seeing me huff and puff, jiggle with the fat on my body, and get all sweaty. You're brave enough to go to the gym and exercise in front of other people. My hat's off to you, and you don't deserve that crap.

Because complaining/reporting it covers you in case something else occurs and who knows. Might get a free month or two out of it.

But make sure you get the stuff first as proof.

After my spin class my t-shirt is soaked, my shorts are sweaty, my face is red, hair dripping, even my fingernails sweat! I take 2 hand towels into class to wipe my face, neck, and arms. Yeah.....lose them bit**es.

OMG like chicks aren't supposed to like sweat, ew gross like how disgusting

Seriously ignore these girls and just feel secretly smug that you're getting a better workout than them. They sound like the type of girls who go to the gym and never see any result because they're afriad of hard work. Be proud of your sweat, you've earned it!!!

I never get girls like this who are so petty.

Oh and I'm sure you already do this but use a hand towel and make sure you wipe your bike down afte ryou use it.

Best advice yet

Threaten them in the parking lot.
