Gyms: Breaking the Barriers

Re: Gyms: Breaking the Barriers

  1. Do you, as a woman, go to the gym - like a commercial gym (or some high class ritzy gym for those of you with money trees)?

When I was in college, I used to go to "24 hour fitness" regularly but haven't been going since moving. I plan on starting my "gym routine" again within the next few months.

  1. If you do go, what do you wear?

Sneakers, sweatpants, t-shirt.

  1. If you don't go, then WHY do you not go?

Well, I haven't been going since I moved out of my parents house simply b/c I've been too busy with work.

  1. Do you think its an inappropriate or immoral environment for a woman to be in? Does it make for a bad influence, that is the environment?

No, I think every woman(and men too) should do some type of exercise on a regular basis to stay healthy. I don't go to the gym to check out guys. I can't imagine that any guy would be checking me out considering the way I look when I'm in the gym(sweatpants/sweaty/no makeup/crappy hair etc). Actually, in my personal experience, when I used to go the gym, I rarely felt like anyone was "checking me out". Most people are too focused on their workouts. Mos of my friends(guys and girls) work out regularly and I don't ever recall anyone I know mentioning anything about checking any "hot guy" or "hot girl" out at the gym.
