How many people here wear jeans at the gym?

[typicalfashion]

How many SF'ers actually wear jeans to workout at the gym/go running/etc. I am going to start going to the gym, when i used to go i would always see that guy that i thought "forgot his gym clothes". Now i will be "that guy"...

[darkanimal]

Hahah, I don't think it's appropriate, but go try it maybe you'll like it.

[polishmike]

i think it looks retarded. why would you want to work out in your jeans? they will smell like death.

[yawn]

taking it too far

[Seething Tortoise]

Seconded.

Working out + jeans = fail.

[sybaritical]

A decent Gym won't let you work out in your jeans.

[damnIam]

I agree, your jeans are going to smell like a dirty locker room, with your sweat and everyone else's. Gyms are pretty nasty and I like my workout clothes to be washed after I go into one.

I think doing that was excusable back in junior high. You really have no reason to bring filthy jeans into a gym. You're better off wearing them in your garage, your backyard, hiking, pretty much anywhere but the gym. You won't get much abrasion, but you may get some pretty good sheen...

you start running with a really stiff pair of raw... you end up with bloody knees... no thanks

i try to skate a couple hours a day, and only in jeans. the smell isnt too bad, but the salt builds up and makes them look like shit. i machine washed my canes last night after about 3 weeks of having them completely saturated in sweat most days.

ahh... pics... yes... but i no longer have a camera until i can buy a charger for my phone. someone(roomate) stole my work laptop and cell phone charger yesterday.

ill describe them in detail when they are done drying.

[yamakazi18]

that's pretty dumb. unless you're working out at home or something and you know you dont sweat much. from what i see of what SFers post of themselves, it doesn't seem that any people on this forum work out though lol.

[viv1984viv]

apart from stinking like hell and the embarrassment of having someone say, " Sir, please......", and thats if you even get in, I think they could restrict you if you do crunches or leg squats etc, also this would stretch them much much more than usual stuff.

yeah thats what i ahve been doing

[ishboo]

if you wear jeans while you work out you'll have to wash them to get all the sweat out, otherwise they'll fall apart, and all that washing will make it hard to get good fading. in the end i think you'll get LESS visible wear than if you just wore them around.

so, basically, wearing your jeans to the gym is just plain retarded.

[ron]

I would think most gyms would prohibit wearing jeans while exercising. But there seems to be some interesting replies to this thread. I seem to read many posts where people claim to ride bikes, hike, work, etc. in their jeans for weeks on end - where are these people living that prevents them from getting sweaty during these activities? I personally sweat more while working outside than I do at the gym - my gym is air conditioned and my yard is not.

[Chicken]

how about just buying a cheap treadmill instead? that way you don't have to look like an asshole in the public, but still might be able to achieve the fading you're looking for.

cmf, hope your roommate didn't run off with your stuff.

it pisses me off when people where cargo shorts and a backwards hat to the gym.. your there to get exercise and workout not fuck off and flirt with married women. quit flexing your "guns" in the mirror and get off the fucking machine that i wanna use...venting!

Wowzers - your gym has a fucking machine?

lol, i dont think he means the sybian machine

[renski]

i have never seen anyone wear jeans to the gym...and maybe never will...

[ilovespaz]

i wore jeans to the gym, until one of the meat head workers said wearing jeans wear down the pleather on benches. . weak..

When you're squatting and deadlifting your range of motion is severely impaired by a pair of dungarees, especially the kind that most superfuturians wear. Bench day, however, is an okay day to wear them.

And who doesn't work out in their basement, anyways?

Me too, but not in my good jeans. You're right about the salt build up though. To answer the orginal post I wouldn't recommend it, but it would be cool to see what they look like after a month or so..I'd say

[timmy32]

if you dont work up a sweat in the gym, even with air conditioning, you are waisting your time, i used to be a personal trainer so i highly recommend not working out in jeans, it restricts your movements too much which reduces the effectiveness of the work out, plus it fatigues faster than you should which also lowers the effectiveness of the work out.

but if you want go ahead
