A girl wore biking gloves at the Spin class on Sunday. Is that... necessary ?

I guess if it helps one get into the mood...
I don't see any real reason for it, normally.0 -
i sweat so much when i spin, i would never want to wear anything ... extra.0
-
This makes me giggle0

It's as important as hand wraps in body combat class1
-
For the sweat I guess.. I used to keep a towel on the bars.0
-
Was she wearing a helmet and sunglasses too?
Seriously though........ perhaps she feels discomfort from the pressure on the palms of her hands and the padding in the gloves helps alleviate that.1 -

HmmmI would question weather she maybe a female Duetsch Bank employee1 -
Probably no more necessary than my weight lifting gloves. But I don't get those little half moon callouses on my hands.0

I am sure she is wearing them to help combat the pressure which causes numbness in your hands. I am pretty sure she isn't making a fashion statement. And as far as sweat....they aid with that too2
-
I think that my first impression is it's silly, and they would definitely make my hands sweat MORE, but she may genuinely have a better experience with them. So I probably wouldn't judge someone for that0

It might be a good opportunity to make a friend by asking.1
-
my friend uses them during spin class and she says her hands sweat less.
**edited to say spin, not skin. lol.0 -
The handlebars on our bikes are not smooth, and when my hands start to sweat I get blisters on my hands which quickly ruin a good ride. The gloves make my hands sweat more, but they keep me from getting the blisters.0

I get blisters when I ride a bike without them. Spinning would be the same thing. Not to mention those who have germ phobias. I hate to touch anything at the gym without gloves, I don't know about you.1

Seen it too, but same as using gloves for rowing..helps stop callousses on longer sessions....personally i man up!0
-
I would imagine that sweat makes it uncomfortable for her and so she uses them.
The real question is, why does it bother YOU?5 -
The fact she is in a spin class is awesome - she could wear a Tutu and still get props for being there3

For the record, I box without handwraps. Yes, it bothers me - I think it's pretentious to wear gloves at Spin.0

You do a boxing class without handwraps, or you actually box without them?0 -
I don't do spin class, but I my hands get numb on long rides without gloves. Being in a spin class would not change that condition, so I would probably wear my biking gloves in a spin class.
As far as weight lifting gloves. I used to be the "Manly Man don't need no stinkin gloves guy". Till a dead lift shredded most of the skin off the grip part of both my hands. Now I wear gloves.
I've noticed with fitness equipment. If you don't know why you need it, you don't need it...until you do, and it's only then you realize why people do things that you think are silly.1
