I'm just reporting what other gyms have done. Don't blame the messenger. I don't set the policies.
Exactly ^^- that is what we are ALL saying, but that dude seems to have a problem with reading comprehension! Like I said in my own earlier post, MY gym has a dress code, and that is not allowed!
One crucial thing a shirt does is soak up the sweat. If you are working out hard you are going to sweat. Sweating on exercise equipment is considered bad manners. Everybody, put on a shirt regardless if toned or flabby.
And good for you for going to the gym! I admire people who are putting in the work and effort to better their health, especially those who are very overweight.
Um, I kind of assume that people are going to sweat on the equipment, regardless of what they are wearing or not wearing. It's a gym. There are stations of cleaner to wipe stuff down.
I'm starting to attend a gym and I'm wondering would it be ok to wear a sport bra with no shirt on it? I find it easier to exercise in such way. But the problem is that I have untoned belly. In fact my belly hangs over my pants for an inch or so. I worry wouldn't it be considered rude to show it such way?
Generally speaking, anyone named Rapsody can wear whatever she wishes. That is one of wutiiz's laws.
I was just re-reading the autobiography of Chris Kyle, and he pointed out that the #1 quality that made him what he was, was a lack of concern for what others thought of him.

The rule is a 3 to 1 ratio. Meaning your sports bra must appear 3 times larger than your belly. Meaning, if your cans are noticibly larger than your gut, it's still a good look.
Thank you for having the sense to be considerate to others. This whole "It's my body and I'll wear whatever I want" is ridiculous and has left many poor, unsuspecting folks completely blind.
If you get the right large super sheer spaghetti tank u won't even notice the extra clothes on you. AND as a bonus you can wipe the sweat off your face with it!
In terms of my own opinion as a guy - I am in the gym to workout - as long as people's bits and pieces aren't touching my workout equipment I'm cool. In terms of beauty/fashion, I prefer only to see the midriff/abs of flat/toned ladies... but that's just a preference and like I said it doesn't really matter to me as I see both appealing and unappealing people all day inside and outside the gym and I can live with that ;-)
