Naked Workout?


Posted by Lela D.

This is just gross. Those crazy Europeans have done it again. Recently a Dutch gym started a program called "Naked Sundays" where it is apparently appropriate to pump and step in nothing but what your maker gave you. To keep it all sanitary, the nude exercisers will be required to put towels on weight machines and cover bicycle seats with disposable covers. Sorry, there is not enough disinfectant in the world for me to work out in a place like this. And I don't know about you, but I have enough time choosing shorts that don't show the jiggly stuff. Who really wants it all hangin' out? Maybe it's motivating for some people, but I'm sure it won't catch on any time soon.

I don't even want to see my cellulite much less some one elses.

It may sound crazy, but it probably is all for getting attention to increase membership to the club. In the states there have been similar promotions like singles night at the gym and ladies night at the bars and who knows what else.

Singles Night's got nothing on Naked Night - all day long! Can you say staph infection?
mr.
haha , thats weird
Do not think this is about the work out. I am in pretty good shape but I will pass.

This is going way too far. The invention of the sports bra is one of the biggest invention for women who exercise. Just imaging trying to run on the treadmill naked with everything flying around. How uncomfortable. Plus, that is just too much visual. ewww...count me out
Trisha - I hadn't even thought of that! This is starting to look like a Will Farrell movie!

I think you really don't have a clue of what you're saying.

«The gymnasium in ancient Greece functioned as a training facility for competitors in public games. It was also a place for socializing and engaging in intellectual pursuits. The name comes from the Greek term gymnos meaning nude/naked. Athletes competed in the nude, a practice said to encourage aesthetic appreciation of the body and a tribute to the Gods.» Hundreds of years ago, the Greek invented sports, they perfected it so we can nowadays enjoy it. I think back there, they would still know a lot better than you do.  If they want to exercise nude let them. Why is that such a bad idea? There's a constant concern these days to do things as natural as possible. I think this is a good idea, if the greeks could manage to do it so can we. You yanks are all the same. I'm one of those «crazy europeans» and I think once more you should've kept your mouth shut before saying something stupid like that. When you say gymnasium you're already using and implying the term «nude» itself.

Idiots
