As a man, I have to agree with this. Don’t make women feel uncomfortable at the gym by looking at them. You’re in control of where and for how long you look. Focus on your workout. What she is wearing is not your business even if it is ridiculous.
Woman here and agree w/these PPs 100%. This should not be such a difficult thing for any adult, male or female.

It’s one thing to look, it’s another thing to stare/ogle. I hope you know the difference.
A person’s attire doesn’t negate their right to respect.

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.
Not really. But I generally feel more scrutinized and judged by other women than men.
NP. You might want to unpack that. I used to feel the same way, until I looked hard at my internalized misogyny. I don’t feel that way anymore. Food for thought.

I prefee to work out in a sports bra and short bike shorts. So do people find this comfortable? Yes. I mostly work out in my home gym. When I travel for work and have to work out in the hotel, I wear a tank top or t shirt over my bra so as to not make a scene, and I also sometimes wear running shorts rather than tight bike shorts.

+1 I feel so sad for those women who show up at the gym in full makeup and botox butts. I always assume they are hookers looking for clients.
What is “full makeup”? I put on my normal day makeup before the gym. Every other female has on the same. Is this weird?
Yes, this is weird. A lot of women are wearing makeup at the gym because they've maybe come from somewhere else, but most wouldn't put on makeup to go to the gym. That sounds not so great for your skin.

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!
Omg poor you.

I go to a female only gym and the women all wear the skin tight pants, as I do, and a variety of skin tight and cropped to looser fitting shirts. It's all for comfort and not exhibitionist. DH goes to a regular gym and the women there wear basically briefs and sports bras. I think it might be age-related. The female only gym tends to have women 25+ and the regular gym has women 18+. I remember being 18 and basically wearing briefs and a sports bra. I didn't think anything of it and I didn't care if anyone noticed me or not. I was just there to work out.

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.
I never see any freaks in the moco golds that dress like this
Not sure why call them freaks. I am not a fan but the in the butt pants became very popular among the young women who lift. It is all about the booty these days in the end.
If you lift correctly, you do not need these type of pants to accentuate your butt. If you have flat butt, these pants will not create that illusion.
I don’t know what to tell you. All the young women who lift heavy at my boutique gym wear pants and shorts like this. They don’t need to but they do.

They’re not freaks, they are women in their late teens and early 20s. They are definitely in MoCo.
