For a place where people work hard to improve their physical appearances, the gym is a haven for poor style decisions. It's not a hard concept to brick: lightweight shorts, running shoes, comfortable T-shirt. Man or woman, with slight variations, this setup will carry you through any workout without looking like a fool.
Whether they're hitting the weights or sprinting on the treadmill, people love to wear weird stuff to the gym. Ladies wearing heels, guys wearing anything from printed leotards to Batman costumes—all are fair game in pursuit of looking like a crazy person while breaking a sweat. These are Terrible Style Fails at the Gym.
Overalls (and a Chair) on the Treadmill
They can make you hit the treadmill, but that doesn't mean you have to run.
Forget an iPod, Use an iPad
Macbook Bro.
Skinny Jeans
Jeans can't be comfortable to workout in. Ever heard of a little thing called friction?
A Family Affair
“Baby on board” wasn't meant for the weight rack.
High Heel Lifting
Those stilettos won't work at the gym, no matter how much you can squat.
Striped Leggings
If your clothing choice inspires images of a circus “big top” tent, then you're doing it wrong.
A Catsuit
Who knew The Mountain started an activewear line?
Knitting at the Gym
Seriously, how can you run while your hands are wielding knitting needles? A sweater doesn't mean that you have to sweat while you make it.
The Dark Knight (of the Gym)
Gotham needs a hero, but we don't think the gym does.
Texas Onesie
It's hard enough to pull off a onesie in public, but what guy wants the state of Texas displayed across his ass at the same time? (Except for this guy, of course.)
Low Riding
While sagging is a style choice, clearly it doesn't really apply at the gym.
Tights and Brights
If you were going for magical rainbow fitness elf, then Shia, you nailed it.
Leopard Print
Um…yeah. We'll just leave this here.
