See the thing is, I am okay with the nudity — even though I turn into a five year old at the thought.
What I bristle at that training nude adds nothing. It doesn’t speed up the rate of adaptation, nor does it speed up recovery.
It superfluous marketing.
Just picturing what the knurl on my barbell would do my stark naked back without a t-shirt squatting makes me want to wear extra layers.2 -

I think some people might say that nude is the natural state and we should rather be asking what clothing adds to the rate of adaptation or speed of recovery. The answer would be hygiene and protection, modesty (for me) and comfort.
Of course, in the case of this gym, I agree it's just marketing.

I think the ancient romans or greeks used to exercise naked- hence the origin of the word "gymnasium" which means "to exercise naked". I wonder if that's what the creators of that gym had in mind, going back to the roots...either that or "yeah dude nekked hotties! hi five!!"1

Me too and me neither. However, lately it's been 9C in the basement. Just touching a cold bar with my hands is enough for me.2 -
