Fashion show at the gym??????

I don't really care what I look like. But I also don't really care what other women there look like.

I get up at 3 to go to the gym so all tha tI do is brush my teeth. I once had a guy say to me " Its like a before and after" since he sees me when I first get to the gym and then after I shower and get ready!

I don't exactly put a ton of effort into how I look at the gym, but I won't lie, all my gym clothes are pretty cute and matchy-matchy. It helps that almost everything I own is at least partially hot pink.

And, as strange as it sounds, since I go to the gym after work I usually still have makeup on, and when I'm done and all sweaty and red faced, I feel like I look really hot. I'd do me.

Edited to add: Just because my gym outfit is usually pretty cute, doesn't mean I'm not there to work hard. I bust my *kitten* in the gym, I just happen to be color coordinated while I'm doing it

Same here. I enjoy having cute workout stuff, and pretty much everything I own is either hot pink, black, or yellow. So no matter what I put on it's going to match. And I go after work as well so I still have makeup on. I do not, however, put makeup on before going on a Saturday morning lol.

I will also add: not that I TRY to look cute for anyone, but I DID meet my husband at our kickboxing class. So it's possible to meet your soul mate while kicking *kitten*.

I want to look good no matter where I am or what I am doing. My clothes are always cute! Now makeup, probably not but some waterproof mascara and eyeliner and I am good to go.

Shouldn't bother you if you don't care what you look like and others do. It's all about what works for them! You can still knock it out the park on the elliptical and be cute doing it!

Most of my gym sessions are straight off the train after work - I usually look a state. It's embarrasing as I see people I know from my secondary school there all the time - the guys in my year that I didnt like. Most of the time I do just think - I dont care - Im here to sweat - which I do! But I do feel better if I am wearing make up.

i have shoulders like a line backer (to me anyway) i don't feel feminine in a big bulky t-shirt that doesn't wick away the sweat like under armour does. I throw the hair in a ponytail and get red faced but do put some effort into my outfits because i'm not a "cute gym bunny" heck i just gave my daughter my only pair of yoga pants because they looked better on her then me. so for me it's about self-esteem.

If I worked out in a gym I think coordinating outfits would be motivation for me. If I go I get to wear this cute zip up and yoga pants? I'm in. Also being put together might be just party of their daily ritual, something they would do anyway whether or not it's workout time.

If your hair and makeup still looks hot after a workout you did not give it your all.

Mine does. And I bust my *kitten*

As my sister-in-law says: "I go to the gym to look good, not to look good at the gym."

I couldn't care less what I look like when I'm working out!

If your hair and makeup still looks hot after a workout you did not give it your all.

I think I look hot when I AM all sweaty and disgusting in my "cute" workout clothes!

I try to make sure I don't have drool on my face or snot, then I spray my hair with water and pat it down, I have a pixie cut, then head out. Thats about it, I try to remember that even though I am at the gym I will still be in contact with other people and if I look like a complete mess what does that say about me. It takes 5 minutes tops to get ready for the gym but I make them quality minutes. So yes and no...

I have to say I like my clothes to match- at work, for a night out, and at the gym. If I buy a new outfit its gonna match but its not to impress anyone. Its for my own self image. If you like it go ahead and look!!

I don't wear make up, and I sweat buckets, but yes I still wear cute work out clothes. Why? I really don't know! Maybe because they make your body look better when you're working out.

I haven't actually gone to a gym in a long time though.

I get my gym kit and work clothes ready the night before an early morning gym session because I have to catch such an early train to go to the gym that if I miss my train then I'll have to wait half an hour for the next one! Cos I'm chosing my clothes the night before they do tend to co-ordinate yes - I wouldn't say fashion show. My gym is close to my workplace too so I never know who I mind bump into and it doesn't hurt to be sweaty but otherwise presentable if I bump into a colleague/manager during my workout!

. . . but I do know that if I at least feel comfortable in what I'm wearing (like, I could go to the store after and not feel ridiculous), I tend to be more confident about what I can do. It's a weird mindset thing . . .

I pretty much always wear black on black on black but it's not about matching it's because I'm too self concious to wear color lol. Black doesn't show how much I sweat (which is a LOT) as much. The usual for me is capri running tights with running shorts over them (because I'm self concious about my butt and thighs in tights alone but track pants are too hot to work out in . . ) and a semi form fitting moisture wicking tee (because I'm too self conscious about my arms for a tank top but can't run in a "baggy" tee . . ). Neurotic as all that is, those are the parameters in which I feel the LEAST self concious and thus comfortable to work out at the gym . . . I shouldn't care what anyone else thinks but I can't help it. That's just how I am so that's the process I need to go through to get it done. ::shrug::
