What do you wear to the gym

So my mom and myself got a membership to the YMCA mainly to use the pool for exercise but they have a gym so on days we don't want to pool it were going to use the gym (today example, pools closed after 1pm). First time in a gym and I don't have "gym clothes"....

So tell me...what do you wear to the gym? When you first started and now...

Can we add a poll to this?

I wear soft cotton shorts, everyday normal t-shirts, & a sports bra my girls are to big not to wear one lol, the sneakers I wear are lightweight but comfortable Skechers. I cant wait till when Dh & I come home next May so I can get some more comfortable gym clothes & some more of the sports bras I like possibly a new pair of sneakers for the gym as well. some people wear those Nike clothes that absorb your sweat so your clothes don't stick to you during your workout. I wouldn't mind some of those clothes but they are expensive & I don't think they make them in big girl sizes.

hmm...ok.

I wear yoga pants, which are looser and usually lighter weight, a sports bra and a t-shirt or tank top. I don't need to be in a fashion show, but I don't like looking dumpy either. I like slip on sneakers, like Pumas, so when I stretch they are easy to take on and off.

When I used the gym (!), I wore comfy cotton shorts, sports bra, t-shirt (or sometimes spaghetti-strap tank top) with typical tennis shoes.  Nothing fancy, just comfortable.

A bit random, but for some reason I've observed here in the UK that girls tend to wear NORMAL BRAS a lot when jogging/working out.  Yes, the serious runners still wear sports bras, but I seriously see women all the time and it's quite clear they are wearing a normal, wired bra.  Why on earth would you torture yourself like that?!  Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just crazy?

During the week, there are loads of guys in the gym that seem to just go in there to look around at the girls, they dont break a sweat, they just sit there and lift a few weights and look around with their hair all gelled back. They annoy me.. sooo when I go during the week I tend to cover up more and wear gym pants that go just passed my knee, sports bra and a spaghetti strap tank top. On the weekends the gym is empty so i wear comfy cotton shorts (theyre a bit shorter than id like but comfy) and a spaghetti strap tank top and sports bra.

I prefer to workout in shorts because i get way to hot, but cant seem to find any that are a reasonable length. Theyre all either too short or are longer and poof out a bit to make me look like i have a massive bum.

That sounds crazy!! Ive not noticed but I will have a look today.

It's been a while since I've been to a gym, but that's what I used to wear as well. I don't like seeing myself in shorts and I find they have a tendency to "creep up" (ugh), so the yoga trousers work well.

On the rare occasions I've gone, I've worn yoga pants or leggings with a baggyish shirt and sports bra.

I wear yoga pants

thats what I have ...comfy

thanks you guys

I have no sports bra though...lol i doubt my girls would be happy in one  ...but it's not like im running so I think I'm good for now.

I've never found a sports bra that doesn't give me a uni-boob.

I normally just wear cotton shorts and t-shirts. I really like the Champions plus line at www.justmysize.com (click on workout tab). They're really comfortable.

def gonna check that out...thanks Melissa!

As the Director of Development for the YMCA here in Denver, I have a contractual duty to thank you for joining the Y    I use the elliptical a lot rather than a treadmill or any running simply because you dont have to worry about the uni-boob problem.  No sports bra required here since you dont do any bouncing around, but still get a great workout. I wear yoga pants no matter what kind of exercise I am doing and I recently have been wearing a more breathable shirt than a cotton t-shirt. We got staff shirts that have little tiny holes in them and wick away any moisture and they are wonderful!  I am sure you can get similar ones anywhere you buy work out clothing.  Have fun!

hehehe sports bras are made to make u uni boobed and FLAT! the flatter , the better i say!
next time when u go and try them on in teh changing room , give up and down , see if they bounce if they do tehn they are no good.

lol
marks and spencers high impact bras are one of the best . nike's are good . go for high impact and try to get a cup smaller to actually hold them really tight. u are only going to wear it for an hour 2 hours max . so its worth it for looking after the puppies lol
