Yesterday I saw a guy on the elliptical wearing a full business suit, including dress shoes.

    I see jeans all the time. I don't think any of these people are serious about their workouts.

    There's one guy at my gym who wears the same outfit every time: plaid knickers, a striped shirt and argyle socks.

    Stop judging people. Let them wear what they want.

    So they aren't serious because they don't have on sweats and a tank like you? You don't know their situation at all.

    You must be a lot of fun at a party.

    As for jeans...sometimes I will stop in at the gym just because I have an extra 15 or 20 minutes and will get on the treadmill. It is better than sitting in the car listening to the radio while waiting for a kid to get out of school or an appointment. My goal isn't to get sweaty or substitute my real workout but just to keep moving.

    I don't really pay attention. Saw a dude in scrubs including the little shoe covers once, but if anything it impressed me that he'd come from surgery/work and get straight to a workout. There's a hella beefy, sexy cop that busts it out, too in full uniform. Nice guy. I make it a point to smile his direction when he's in there.

    I bet people think I'm homeless, lol. I wear big t-shirts and baggy sweat pants a lot. Sometimes the same pair of sweatpants all week. *shrug*

    That's a good way to put it.

    An over the tights, thong bodysuit... backwards. I was trying to figure out if it would feel better that way (this may have been a few years ago).

    And I can see suit or scrubs. Maybe they didn't realize they were going to be stopping off at the gym or maybe they didn't think forgetting their gear was an excuse for skipping a workout. That's pretty impressive imo

    I wore a tennis skirt, knee highs, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap to the gym once. I had just come from a 5k race and wanted to lift.

    I see people in jeans or corduroys sometimes. I don't get it but I sweat very easily so I'm in shorts. whatevs. They're doing something and it isn't damaging the equipment. Idgaf

    I don't go to a gym but it bugs me when it's cold outside and everyone else is trying to stay warm and people are out in little tight shorts and a jacket.

    Man, quite the reaction for and against people wearing jeans. I've worn jeans before on upper body day when I wanted to lift over my lunch break and never got a reaction from anybody. Of course on upper body day I'm doing 5 sets with 275 on the bench in a super set with chin ups. I must be super totally friggin awesome! Or I work out at a really liberal gym where nobody really judges... As far as strange workout outfits go, I did see a couple people all dressed up running the local marathon. One was Darth Vader and the other was a storm trooper. Considering the fact that they were running 20 miles it was pretty hard core
