Did I miss the memo?

Have you tried yoga pants? They're better than the sweats to me! I don't know about your gym, but our gym doesn't allow us to wear denim anything on the equipment.

^^^^ YES!!!! I dont wear sweat pants. They have cute and comfy workout attire now a days. and they arent all super clingy either. :O)

Why would they have a no denim rule??

That says I have to wear sweat pants and a t-shirt to the gym?

Was there a memo? Why do you think you have to wear sweat pants? Is there some rule posted at your gym about it?

Personally, when I hit the gym, I feel I need to take full advantage of the time. I usually work up enough of a sweat that I need a shower afterward, so jeans would certainly be a no-no for me. Sweat-damp jeans = chafing. Plus I can't move freely enough to work out properly. I wear shorts and a t-shirt.

But if you exercise at an intensity that allows you to just wear your street clothes, go for it. Some gyms do ask you to have a pair of "indoor shoes" so dirt and sand from outside doesn't get in to their expensive equipment and wear it out, but that's usually the extent of it.

yoga pants or compression pants for me Jeans would be so super uncomfortable after my pool of sweat started to fall ugh I HATE wet jeans and I never leave the gym dry I`m sopping wet head to toe

Limited range of motion in jeans, fabric doesn't "breathe" as well, and pockets or belt loops can get snagged on equipment.

If you don't want to go shopping in sweats or workout wear, that's why there's a locker room. Do as I always did in high school and change in the bathroom stall if you feel self-conscious.

Personally, I'm entirely too sweaty and gross after exercising to NOT change either at the gym or as soon as I get home.

What about high heels and a corset? The main thing that matters is that you look good in the gym.

If you're fine wearing jeans to the gym, it's because you've never sweat in them before

PS: I go to the grocery store in workout clothes (yoga pants or shorts and a tank top/sweatshirt)

Instead of "eww she doesn't care about her appearance" I imagine people are thinking "she's obviously coming from the gym, but I'm only here for the 2-for-1 sale on Doritos"

Don't they have change / locker rooms.

I couldn't imagine doing a workout in jeans and I've given up cotton as a workout fabric. I have street clothes and I have workout /running clothes. If you're working out at any kind of intensity you'll be perspiring, possibly perspiring heavily - it's a matter of practicality.

Jeans are restrictive.
Jeans hold onto sweat = swamp *kitten* = eeew!
Jeans just aren't comfy for the way I workout...I can't even imagine wearing jeans to the gym.
My gym doesn't allow it though.

I hope you don't work out in jeans!!! A lot of gyms do not alot people to workout in jeans because it is not safe, limits mobility, and can not be comfortable!! Many gyms have restrictions on many things, you should feel comfortable in anything be confident in who you are and what you want to lose!!

exactly.

who would wear jeans to the gym..... i have never in all my years going to the gym seen somone working out in them!!!

Yuck, I can't imagine working out in jeans. I love yoga pants and shorts with a tank top. I see people at the grocery store all the time in workout clothes, and don't even think twice about it.

Reminds me of the time I saw a chick in a strapless dress working out on the elliptical...I thought she was nuts. Edited to fix my typo.

That says I have to wear sweat pants and a t-shirt to the gym?

Why is it so wierd to want to wear jeans and one of my band shirts? I'm comfortable in them. I hate sweat pants out in public, I barely like them for pj pants.

A lot of times after I'm done at the gym I like to run to the store and pick up groceries. I don't want to walk around the grocery store in sweat pants

Don't wear sweat pants or jeans......both are awful options for the gym.

I wouldn't even wear jeans to workout if you paid me. A lot of good advice has been given.
