    No and no but there is a regular at my gym who always wears a t-shirt and flannel pajama bottoms. I think it's so odd!

    I do it all the time. But I work out at home.

    At home I've worked out in everything from pajamas to a miniskirt and everything in between. At the gym, though, always gym clothes. Though I've been known to wear my gym clothes as pajamas - so maybe?

    At home? Sure, I've done it, especially in the past when I did a lot of cardio, and went on the elliptical first thing in the morning. I still will do morning yoga in my pjs once in a while. But for anything more intense (or outside of my house, lol), I definitely need my workourt wear and a sports bra!

    Well, I wear yoga pants and tank tops as pajamas, so my workout clothes are almost identical to my pajamas. The only difference is that I throw on a sports bra and deoderant to work out.

    Why?

    I wear yoga pants to lounge around in and sometimes to bed when it's cold enough. While I haven't ever worn PJ pants to the gym (I only wear shorts, pants are too hot), I don't see the problem. There's not that much difference between yoga/workout pants and PJ pants...

    Yup; every day! But, I also work out at home, so that's not so weird. If I went to a gym, then no I would not work out in my PJs.

    Heck Ya! Realizing that I can work out in my pjs helped me get up in the morning for a workout!

    Seeing someone in PJs wouldn't bother me. But I did see someone at the gym, running on the treadmill, in denim jeans. All I could think was it had to be so uncomfortable/hot. I assumed they forgot their workout clothes at home, and that wasn't their normal attire.

    I sleep in workout shorts/long pants and a shirt (or tank top). So then I work out in the clothing I slept in. Why not?

    yeah this.

    I don't actually own real pajama's. I live in workout capris- and then at home in sweats- so yes kind of but not really.

    Sometimes yoga or bodyweight stuff at home in what I'll wear to bed.

    If I'm going for a run or a cycle I'll put something on though :)

    Not my pajamas no. Not really workout material.

    I would however just workout in my normal around the house lounging gear

    Really what are "gym" clothes though? Unless your exercise is really cardio based, ie where chafing and a lot of sweating were to occur then I could see where certain fabrics or moisture control shirts would benefit. BUT if one focuses on weights, then I don't see if it would be a problem.

    I wear a semi oversized/flowy t-shirt (similar to what someone may wear to sleep) and fruit of the loom cotton sweat pants to workout in, doesn't really bother me.

    At home, I'll work out in whatever. For the gym though a certain level of fit is helpful--oversized or undersized shirts, non-stretchy fabrics, etc. would not help facilitate a good workout.

    (Found out the hard way what happens in yoga with a slightly too large shirt... :blushing: )

    Am I the only one who would get arrested for indecent exposure? I don't wear the birthday suit, but I definitely could not be seen working out in ma jammies... However, if I felt that they were appropriate for public, I would absolutely rock them for a workout. One less outfit to wash. I'm all for less laundry.
