No I don’t judge. I admit to occasionally being distracted – and I prefer a “visual” to an “odor” distraction. More often than not, I’m left curious - as in “what are your program goals with that attire?” or “don’t you have a close friend who might say to you ‘ we can do better than that outfit.’ "
I don't judge them but I would have to say that some outfits I have seen have given me a good chuckle. My 2 personal favorites would be the stuck in the 80's dance leotards with leggings (Come on ladies not even Jane Fonda wears that crap anymore) and the spandex or compression shorts that some of the guys wear (alright guys we get it you are proud of your junk now cover it up).

We have one that wears tight jean shorts and carries a Hello Kitty bag. Not that I've noticed though!

The reason I was asking is that I wear fairly nice, obviously 'gym' clothes to work out in. They are tight black shorts and fitted workout shirts with company logos on them (like Adidas and 'Just Do It'. Sometimes I wonder if people think I am a bored housewife or a MILF wannabe trying to look sexy (not saying I AM sexy, because I'm not).
Years ago when I was working out regularly just after high school, I just wore whatever. Loose fitting shorts and a random ratty t-shirt. Now, since I've lost 65 lbs, none of that sort of stuff I had when I was heavier fits anymore, and dang!!! I lost 65 lbs, I want to show it! Also, buying nice(er) workout clothes was one of my weight loss rewards.
I feel silly even worrying about this sort of thing, and I'm not really worried, so to speak. I just wonder if people look at me and say, "yeah, 'cute' workout clothes Ms. Stay at home mom", and think I'm not serious.

The women might be thinking all of that, but I'm not in the business of trying to understand why women think what they do (no offense), for the guys, they're probably just staring at your butt in the tight shorts.
Congrats on the progress, you have much to be proud of, if you feel good showing it off a bit, by all means do so.

All in good fun. Feel free to lunge to your glutes' content in the swimwear of your choice, just make sure someone takes pics before they throw you out.

DiamondPete bought a cool Hello Kitty bag for my baby girl---I now have to worry about this eventual possibility
Obviously Pete has some dastardly plot in mind. Never trust a Japanuck.

Wouldn't think twice about someone wearing what you describe, sounds like perfectly normal work out attire to me.
Now, had you said you have huge breast implants and wear tight spaghetti-strapped tops, I'd wonder how in the world you're able to get a good workout wearing that while not falling out.

hahaha! I wear these to the gym but it's actually to *help* stay covered up! When I do my stretches, regular shorts just don't allow enough movement for me so I have to hike 'em up quite a bit. The compression shorts keep others from getting blinded by my whiteness. Plus, they keep my thighs from catching fire when I do cardio. Now when I'm cycling or skating outdoors, I don't cover the spandex but I'm also trying to minimize wind resistance.

LOL! Is that a 'bro'? Still trying to catch on to this gym lingo.

LOL! There's this guy at my gym that we call "Mr. Pirate", I kid you not he wears tight shiny black spandex pants, a blousy white shirt and a handkerchief tied around the top of his head. Everytime I walk past him I have to stifle the urge to say "Arg!"
Then there's "Miss Juicy" who likes to work out in a cute white spaghetti strap top and these too-tight short shorts with "Juicy" in big fat pink letters on her ass. One time she got on the prone leg curl machine that was right in front of the machine my DH was using. So funny to watch a 40+ year old guy do 3 sets on a machine while staring resolutely at the ceiling. I feel like saying, "Chica, we do NOT want to know whether you get a brazilian, m'kay?"
But they're both better than Funkmeister who lets his ONE SET of workout clothes ferment all week in his gym bag. By the end of the week, I can tell if he's in the building as soon as I walk in the door.
Hey, do you guys have ppl at your gym that work out in regular clothes? There are a couple guys that work out in like chinos/slacks and a Cosby-esque sweater. Like, umm... are you going to work in those clothes?
-- The guy wearing tennis shoes, knee-high black socks, flowery swim trunks and a tucked-in polo... I judge that he doesn't get much action with the ladies.
-- The guy wearing a huge hiking backpack while walking ever-so-slowly on the treadmill... I judge that he's probably lost.
-- The girl wearing almost nothing and spending a lot of time stretching and showing herself off... I judge that her daddy wasn't around much.
And for all the other women, if they show skin I judge that they pretty much want in my pants. Following Occam's Razor, it's the most natural and obvious interpretation.

-the person is wearing shorts that reveal too much (even without assuming an awkward position) - especially if it is a male who enjoys doing splits while balancing on his head
-they are wearing a leotard - with or without something underneath
-they are wearing one of those 80s sweat suits (think garbage bag)
-they are wearing high heels - employees and members included
-their shirt reads "personal trainer" and they train at my gym
Back pack and treadmill may be preparing for a long mountain ascent, kids have told me that I need to be able to do this for at least two hours in order to climb Rainier.
Do you judge ppl by what they wear to the gym?
