What do you like to wear at the gym? What is your attire?

Are you the classic gym bunny in sweaty Betty? Are u more conservative or a show off?

I have proskins high waisted leggings and a baggy top. No one wants to see my fat giggle around while attempting to get fitter. Oh and a bloody good sports bra.

Normally shorts and t shirt or vest and running joggers. I've only recently started wearing vests as I used to think I wasn't swole enough to justify wearing them

I need a new pair of running leggings - are proskins good? I need something to hold the belly in

A vest or T-shirt and shorts. I have no idea how people wear joggers and hoodies. I’d be on the floor in a puddle of sweat if I did that.

Never ever been to one.

Are they cheap for membership, what with record rising cost of living etc, and was wondering if I can justify the cost of joining/attending,

You don’t need to join a gym - loads of free stuff to help on YouTube, Couch25k etc…

I can't go to the gym, women in sweaty gym gear is enough to leave me sporting a trouser tent and nobody wants to see that.

Full length leggings (Lucy Locket Loves for anyone looking for reasonably priced, squat proof and great quality leggings) and a cropped top.

Have noticed a lot of guys wearing a baseball cap and hoodie with the hood up recently though. Can anyone enlighten me?

Tight gym leggings but then a super baggy t shirt on top. I arrive with my hair down and basic clean girl makeup so people know I don't always look like a sweaty troll

The first pair of shorts, and whatever T comes out of the draw when I grab them.

I don’t dress to show off. I just need to be comfortable, cool, and have full range of motion for that day.

Honestly one of the most annoying things about gymming regularly is having so much additional laundry!

Squat proof leggings and a t-shirt if I'm lifting.

If I'm fight training, similar in black and a sports bra with no back hooks.

grrrl clothing sell amazing leggings.

Lucy Locket Loves leggings - truly the best! Loud leggings and a plain, loose fitting vest top and Dare2Be trainers. Need to get myself back to the gym but really struggling right now… Had covid at the end of May and my energy levels are just not what they should be

I’m very scruffy. A white vest under a T-shirt, the cheapest I could find in SportsD, a pair of jogging bottoms that I’ve cut to knee length and a pair of red football socks I’ve had for about 30 years.

Nike gym leggings (full length or cropped depending on temperature) with some kind of t-shirt or vest. T-shirts aren't super tight nor baggy. Vests either from Decathlon sale or ones I've acquired through 5k pushes. And I wear proper weightlifting shoes still, even though I only lift from a reclined/seated or fully recumbent position nowadays

I finally gave in and became a cliche. I was fed up of gym leggings that fell down and gaped at the waist and gym shark had a sale on. So now I have a lilax set and a blue set of full length leggings and long sleeved tops which I wear with white socks and pink converse. I like to be colourful!

Without sounding like a smart answer..

The most important thing I wear at my gym are my earphones. There are some people at my gym who could do with weight lifting quietly. Way too many grunt era for my taste, so I zone them right out.

Other than that, I’m the biggest I’ve been in ages and I’m growing out of stuff so unintentionally a lot of it is a little tight.

Vests are so comfy or a tank top with some loose shorts.

I genuinely had a problem when squatting, I kept getting stabbing pains in my midriff and a lot of pain. It was actually a bit of hair and I'm not even that hairy.

I wear shorts or trackie bottoms and t shirt depending on the weather.

Could never wear a vest even if I was really ripped and had big muscles...not that vain.

Hood up is to keep you warm, sweat more. I would do it when boxing.

Usually wear shorts and t-shirt with hooded over t-shirt thing. Look a pure tramp but don't care.
