I've never posted here before. If this has been covered recently, I couldn't
find it. I did a Google search and didn't find much. I'm in pretty good
shape, and not vain at all. Shy in fact. I have been working out at home,
and at the gym at my work for about 4 years, which is basically dead except
for a weight watcher's class 3 days a week. Most days I'm the only one in
the free weight area.
I just joined 24hr fitness, and can't wait to get started. At home or work,
I usually wear long black Otomix pants, a Golds Gym sleeveless shirt and
black Reebok sneaks. Or Power Builder terry cloth like shorts (great to wipe
sweat) and a tank. The think is, now that I'm going to be in public, I don't
want to walk in there looking like a 'prick.' You guys know what I mean. I
don't want to come off as a muscle-head or a coordinating outfit butt of
people's jokes. I just want to be anonymous, lost in the crowd kind of
thing.
I know the number one answer may be "What do you care?" That's easy to say,
but I think most people are self-conscious in a public gym if even a little
bit. No one likes to feel that people are looking at them and laughing. At
least I don't. So, generally speaking, what's good to wear to the gym?
Thanks. >> Stay informed about: What to wear to the gym |

I'd agree with this in general, though I'll also add that as a man,
you should avoid spandex or anything that has a spandex type fit.
I've seen guys in good and bad shape wearing spandex and it just
doesn't work under any circumstance.
Personally, I like lose fitting Under Armour shorts and T... or
anything else with moisture wicking properties (Nike drifit etc... all
make equivalents). They are light, comfortable and breathable.

Amusingly there are "dress-code" gyms in some cities
so the muscle men dont intimdate the ladies,
ike Q-club or Curves.
Fortunately not every gym. Theres enough people
who pay for dress-code gyms to make them profitable. >> Stay informed about: What to wear to the gym |

Gym shorts, T-Shirt, Socks, and Sneakers. I like wearing my old gym
t-shirts with a squat bar stain across the shoulders, that says I mean
buisness more than a sleaveless shirt.
I have found that sleaves get in the way sometimes doing things like
cleans, jerks, military presses, and when I have a belt on. So I always
try to wear my old shirts so my new shirts don't get stretched out,
They need to be a little tight, and not have stains on them, to impress
the ladies when I am not in the gym.

Just wear a thong and some black boots. Don't let society try and force you
into looking like everyone else. Be an individual. Will you get made fun of
for your revealing attire? Yes. Will your ass get slapped by rowdy men? Yes.
Will you sleep well at night knowing that you are a true individual and a
true free thinker? YES! If you are concerned about your package, do what I
do. Stuff a dill pickle down there to help accentuate your bulge. >> Stay informed about: What to wear to the gym |

We all wear meet T-shirts almost exclusively. We'll even have 3 or 4
people show up in the exact same meet shirt (which is pretty rare as
some guys show up with shirts from 1992 or older). The ones that
don't usually complain about not getting the memo. >> Stay informed about: What to wear to the gym |

I wear bike shorts and a T-shirt, because I always
include some bike time and I have a lot of T-shirts (the
team-building archetype of the '90s). I do worry that
my socks are jauntily scrunched down rather than dorkily
pulled up, but that's about it.
The gym will be full of all sorts of people in all sorts
of outfits. Nobody gives a damn. Just don't grunt like
a girl tennis player when you're doing lat pulldowns.

Aren't "bike shorts" somewhat immodest for a chap with a large
'lunch-box'? I wear rugby shorts over mine which protects my modesty,
while the "bike shorts" prevent people ogling my 'lunch-box' while I
am supine doing such things as abdom crunches! ;o)
Have a great weekend Blair - I intend to!! ;o)

Good heavens - and deprive us of the pleasure of ogling gorgeous
muscles?

Excellent suggestions. I entirely approve.
Just one amendment: if you're going to swim PLEASE consider the issue of
drag and leave your baggy shorts at home. Speedos are the only sane choice.
