I would agree. Maybe it would cut down on the women (young and fit good for them) working out in the wedgie style shorts and yoga pants, who are clearly there to socialize and look for dates. They can play the game and hustle for numbers elsewhere. Get out of the way for the women who are there to workout.
Where do you workout that you see these? I have never seen them IRL at any gym I've gone to in DC area.
My Golds in Arlington is full of them. Even these exact ones. The population skews toward young women though. Not sure it would be the same in a gym full of suburban moms.
I'm gonna call BS on this. There are not "tons" of any age women wearing these in Arlington. Period. Maybe one or two but definitely not tons.
Well, come to my gym in rush hour. It is extremely common. And no it is not one or two.
There are only 4 Gold's in Arlington now and I go to all of them depending where I am on a certain day and I go at different times. I go everyday. I *maybe* have seen these on a handful of women typically in the weight section of the gym - not cardio machines or classes. Definitely not a ton. Leggings, yes. The pants in the photo, occasionally.
In that case you would know which one of them has been recently overrun with students. And it seems to be mostly them wearing those pants. I mostly only go to the weight section so that is my reference point. I dont think I have ever seen a 30+ woman wearing them (actually yes, their former fitness manager was an IFBB pro with sick glutes and wore them all the time), but then sadly there aren't many 30+ women in the weight room to start with.

The problem with the unitard is that you get camel toe and you can see pee/v/sweat stains if youre not wearing black.

She is very attractive, and I honestly find it distracting. I don’t want to leer but it actually means if I’m just looking in her general direction, I kind of feel like I have to stare away from here (versus if someone normal looking is in front of me while I work out I don’t pay them any mind).
Is this actually comfortable to work out on, is she trying to dress up for attention? It’s a bright silver color, so very eye catching.
Im an old dad, I don’t want to be checking her out while she works out, but I’m only human. I don’t know what answer I want, I just find it frustrating!
Keep your eyes to yourself mister. She isn't dressing for you. Howegotistical. It isn't always about you. Would you like it if someone told you what to wear?
Shut up clown

You realize the judgement comes to large part from other females? I would personally hate being in a female only gym. I am much more comfortable in a weight room full of guys, despite the occasional creep.
Are you a "only guys are my friends" type of women? Because most women would not want to be in a weight room full of men.

I go to the gym everyday and wear either leggings and sweatshirt or baggy workout pants and a fleece. I the leggings are way more comfortable to move in.
I also don't give a crap what anyone else wears to the gym. I do question girls in sports bras only b/c I'm a germaphobe and it would gross me out to have bare skin on the machines or mats.
