Do you wear a jumper, sweater, hoodie at the gym? Some article said its good to keep the muscles warm as you workout; is this done by people at the gym?

    yes i keep my body warm with sweatpants, knee sleeves, hoodie etc. But once i am generating my own heat i will take off layers.

    When I'm cold yes. Layers come off as I warm up though.

    And when I'm competing, I will pull on sweats and a sweatshirt between attempts to stay warm.

    God no. 15 min warm up has me pretty much sweating and hot then I'm dining out a t shirt by the time I'm done.

    Where do you put your clothes as they come off in a communal gym? :/ carry the pile of clothes around with you...

    I just wear whatever I'm gonna wear...I don't layer and drop clothes. I do a warm up to get everything going and I'm fine from there.

    No towels. Have some baby wipes to wipe myself down afterwards.

    So no towel to wipe down equipment and sweat as you go?

    I don't do cardio, so no need to wipe down cardio equipment (my coach considers my daily activity to be enough cardio for me). And the last time I wiped down a weight bench was umm the last time I was in a commercial gym. So over a year ago. Eh. If I trained in a commercial gym around strangers I'd do a lot more cleaning.

    I got face-towel sized towels at Costco. They're white cotton, so bleachable. Like $12 for a huge package of 10 or something.
