[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently joined a gym and want to do the circuit and HIIT classes and basic weights. My first week I wore running shoes (Brooks adrenaline to help with stability as recommended by running store). Is there any reason not to continue to wear these running shoes for fitness classes?[/quote]

All I wear is running shoes, including in the gym. Don't buy special shoes, you don't need them.[/quote]

Eh, I bought "special shoes" and I'm glad I did.  But if I was at the gym I wouldn't want to bring an extra pair of shoes.  I do the treadmill/weight lifting at home.[/quote]

I taught fitness part-time for a decade and had "special shoes" for each activity.  I don't wear running shoes to do strength workouts as they are a full-size bigger than my normal size and it would be too much slipping and sliding (leading to blisters or injuries) when doing dynamic workouts such as plyos, dynamic exercises, etc.

I also didn't wear running or my just any gym shoes for teaching or taking dance/cardio fitness classes because those shoes need to be able to pivot easily as well as have support because of the constant moves.

But I think unless you were constantly working out like I did, one or two shoes is fine.  For example, I only take running shoes on vacation.  During that time, I use them as running, walking, and gym shoes.  [/quote]
