What Do You Think About: Naked Gyms?

March 26, 2007

Okay, now I've heard of Naked Yoga, but a Naked Gym? Now that's news to me.

Well, in the Netherlands, the gym called Fitworld welcomed nudists to come to "Naked Sunday," where they could pedal, run and lift wearing only their birthday suits. During the rest of the week, patrons would continue their clothed workout.

Now, we all know the Netherlands has a reputation for its relaxed sexual attitude. This seems a little extreme for me, even if the nudist are following the rules and putting down towels before they sit on anything!!!!

What do you think?

I think I would try it only if there were gym monitors who made sure everyone sat on a towel. I have run some nude 5ks and they are a blast. Its not about sex its about being comfortable in the nude.

Thats just not right - running on the treadmill sans bra can't be fun.

Just gross. Be naked all you want, but please not in a public gym!

This is 95,000 times worse than naked yoga. And I despise the idea of naked yoga.

ewww. just gross. Plus some things need to be supported during exercise - that's why they make things like sports bras and lycra.

Do at home if you're going to do it at all. It's not that I care about nudity, but gyms are nasty already. I need to save up for a home gym.

I don't even like the naked people in the locker room! "Save the makeup, save the world..."

Imagine the funk! Oh man, having to see old flabby men in still life drawing class was bad enough. Seeing things leaking from their bodies ewww!!!!! No, nudity is cool but I would pay the steep penalty at my gym if it ever adopted a "nude day". It's bad enough (actually funny) when they the small children escape the daycare and roam free on the gym floor screaming for fun.

i have no problem with nudists but i don't think i could sit on something i knew had been exercised on naked for 45 minutes! towel or not!

Dear god I hope they always remember to put a towel down on that bicycle seat.

I know this is naughty, but i keep giggling when i have mental pictures of how men's "stuff" would swing and stuff...much like my boobs, and cubadog, i have same issue as you. If I do anything like jogging i have to wear two bras, a normal one and a sports bra. _________________________________________________________ Why don't you wear the face you have when I am not around?

No thank you! I don't even care if they are sitting on a towel! If I tried to work out naked my boobs would knock me out if I tried to run on the treadmill!
