Why in the world would a guy wear jeans at the gym???
Replies

There was a local guy who would run 5 K's in jean shorts and a button up shirt and would beat many people running a 7 min mile.0

People who wear jeans to the gym weird me out as well. It's not like I expect everyone to wear super expensive work out pants...just go get a cheap pair of sweatpants. I question one's ability to make basic life decisions when one wears jeans to the gym.0

Don't lie, you don't even care about why, you just wanna talk to the dude. Don't make excuses just go talk to him and then eventually you will find out. Don't ask him or else you might come off as a Judgey McJudgerson, or NoseyFace, or Nag.0

Like, really. OMG.People who wear jeans to the gym weird me out as well. It's not like I expect everyone to wear super expensive work out pants...just go get a cheap pair of sweatpants. I question one's ability to make basic life decisions when one wears jeans to the gym.0 -
Ask him.0

Maybe he's a.... never nude!0

Maybe he forgot his workout clothes at home but is dedicated enough to make do with whatever he had on at the time, just to get in his workout.
I was thinking the same. I've forgotten my gym shoes at times and worked out in dress shoes and shorts :P0 -
One of the rules on the wall at the Y is that you can't wear jeans. But people still do. I feel like maybe they're new and don't really know any different?
When I first started playing roller derby way back in 2004 (now retired from it), some of the girls would wear jeans to practice and I just didn't get it.
Nobody follows any of the rules posted at my YMCA0 -
On the weekend, my hubby and I climbed a mountain. On the way down, there was a guy coming up with jeans on.. wtf??0

In August 2002 I climbed the highest peak east of the Rockies and west of the Alps in jeans.
I'm not aware of anyone making a thread about it.0 -
So I skipped page 2 to page 5, basically who's more in the wrong the people who posted about "why would someone wear jeans" or the people who have so little to do in their life that they have the time to hit reply and then type some random stupid crap?
Look someone asked a question and received some intelligent replies, if nothing else there may had been a few jokes. To the people who have nothing better to do ..f' off...0 -
Because they can if they want, why the hell should you care.

NO! You "f' off!"0 -
There are two guys that do that at my gym, one of them even wears work boots while working out.
I asked one of them one time, and the response I got was it was too much trouble to pack a gym bag, and if he had to he would never make it. He just stops by for a work out on his way home from work, and he is going to shower when he gets home. I can only assume that he is comfortable, so more power to him. Though I know some gyms, like P/F supposedly outlaw jeans.0 -

Also, this:
Obviously photoshopped. It's unpossible to squat in jeans. Also, it's obvious by the distortion of the bar. REAL bars are straight.
Except for gay bars.0 -
One advantage to doing ring training / having your own private setup for it is that you can work out in the nude.
Hypothetically.
GAH!

I'm just digging on the butts and bulges.0 -
I dunno. I think we'd need to see pics first0 -
I'm 44 and have done it on occasion. Sometimes you are pressed for time to change and have to fit a work out into your schedule be it work or play.
I work in jeans all day, when it summer and 90+ outside and 110 inside where I work I have sweated in jeans. I've even ran in jeans just because of circumstances.
The people that are serious about gym time don't give two rats about what others think about their apparel.0 -

Uh, I might have, but we weren't friends yet. Sorry. Won't find it in the search though, I posted pics and it got deleted. You might want to invest in a belt next time. :flowerforyou:0 -
This is my descending the highest mountain in hundreds of miles.On the weekend, my hubby and I climbed a mountain. On the way down, there was a guy coming up with jeans on.. wtf??
Just to be clear in the picture, I am wearing:
Army boots.
Shorts
A builders safety helmet.
A t-shirt with a long sleeved button-up shirt over the top.
Washing up style gloves (I'd insist they were actually 'builders gloves', which seems more manly!)
I did get some odd looks from the very few people ascending as we were going down.
We HAD been planning to take the cable car.
Unfortunately the cable car wasn't running because of really high winds.
My friend wanted to walk up anyway, so I agreed, despite only having shorts and a t-shirt on - I didn't realise that as we got near the top, it would be cold enough that there was still patches of ice and snow in the shade!
My friend gave me the long sleeved short and I, ah, 'found' the head and hand protection at the top.
Wearing the extra gear.... made a few people amused at me.
Caused me amusement that said people were amused at me.
I wish I'd worn jeans.
Gone up plenty of mountains in the UK in jeans and laughed at the people that feel the need to spend hundreds just to go for a walk
.
Which factor did you feel that he'd failed at?I question one's ability to make basic life decisions when one wears jeans to the gym.
The only thing I can see is "fitting in with the arbitrary fashion choices".
Sure, that a 'fit' girl at a gym might think I'm weird is one of the reasons NOT to wear jeans to the gym, but if I was happily attached (Maybe there's a reason why somewhere in here? :P), it'd be another matter.0 -
It sounds like it would chaff! Jeans aren't flexible enough for my workouts.0
-
In all seriousness- as someone with a pretty physical job who wears a pair of redwings 40+ hours a week....my boots are effing comfortable. i wouldn't run a race in them, no. But walk? Elliptical? Psssh. Taking candy from a baby.
Imma guess most men who show up in jeans and or boots work in that ish everyday. it IS workout wear to them.0 -

You keep working hard and you might be able to trade in those army boots for Marine boots someday.0 -

Because that's all the have? Or... maybe they ride a bike and they don't have room for a change of clothes and they are there on their lunch break? Who knows.... why does it matter? Did they make fun of what you were wearing and you want to get back at them?0
