New York Gym Offering Naked Workout Classes... Getting buff in the buff, what could go wrong?

Trying hard to care. Nope.

Imagine the ratings boost if the Olympics were back to their roots and athletes competed nude.

There was a gay gym in San Francisco in the 1970s, called the Apollo, where you could be nude if you wanted to.

You just know it's going to attract more perverts and their ilk than anything else and in this climate of sexual harassment I can see the lawyers making out like bandits with all the lawsuits.

All that pussy and taint juice covering every square inch of every piece of exercise equipment. What's not to love?!

"women only" is asking for trouble

Where is this gym again?

Oh, yeah, New York. Quelle surprise.

So does this gym have that wall of windows? Asking for a friend.

Ew! And you know only the fat and wrinkled people will be naked. It is never the bodies you actually want to see in the buff.

If there are people out there who want to work out nude, why not give them an option to do so. No one is forcing people to go to those sessions if it is not something you are interested in.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nah, I'll just stick to nude beaches.

How is the health department letting them get away with this?

I mean, it’s one thing to perve - quite another to be exposed to a cornucopia of bodily fluids and secretions on gym equipment soneone’s Just used...

Would have thought it wasn’t just sti stuff you could potentially leave behind on a warm, damp leatherette bench or saddle - but a wide variety of possible bacterial, viral, fungal pathogens - as well as lovely parasite-ey stuff - Ringworm., scabies and the like. Sounds like a stupid idea to me.

Presenting hole.

[quote] to be exposed to a cornucopia of bodily fluids and secretions on gym equipment soneone’s Just used...

Clothed or not clothed people are still sweating on equipment. There really isn't much difference.

In other words “fecal matter on mats”

There has to be drugs, too, or it is not a proper workout.

[italic] Really, R15?

Yes, R15 but is someone actually going to be assigned to clean the shitty skid marks, bladder leaks, and menstrual blood that leaked from her tampon off the Yoga mats and exercise equipment?

R13 yes, it is a stupid idea.

JFC, I work out at home. I was always getting colds when I went to the gym.

Imagine the squats section with all the holes presenting. :O

Why can't she do this in the privacy of her home? Classic narcissism comorbid with exhibitionism.

Annoying millennial chicks with tampon strings dangling.

PreP power bottoms still dripping last night's loads.

And which sections will allow the trans women to let their sweaty balls flop around?

^ Thanks for the image.

R13 & R19 I agree. That's why "This should be illegal" was included in the Poll.

I think it's a great idea being that Ys decades ago allowed it when it was single sex so the sanitary concerns are squashed right there.

Of course the transgender people fuck up everything as always and there is the problem.

[quote]Annoying millennial chicks with tampon strings dangling.

Goodbye, this thread.

R27: How does single sex squash "sanitary concerns" exactly? Still gross then and now.

you are working with equipment. clothes protect your body. even the thought......................

the best part of this thread is the title which made me burst out laughing.

Imagine what this will turn into when the attention-seeking Millennial narcissists and pot belly, out of shape Baby Boomer gawker men who haven't had sex in years get wind of this. That's when the celebs will leave. And it will no longer be a celebrity hangout.

and exhibitionist T

Yeeeeah no woman is actually going to go there. It'll be a bunch of men on the prowl for mostly other men.

Millennials are the biggest most annoying exhibitionists that have ever been. They just keep their droopy drawers on.

"Let's have a pre-workout smoothie with banana, soy milk, and kale."

"What could go wrong?"

Women get scared and annoyed as is at normal gyms when they have clothes on.

You call millennials the exhibitionists? DLers has spent so many years complaining about their "towel dancing"

They will advertise and promote this using young, attractive, fit male and female models as if that's all that's there, when in reality half the men who attend are fat slob older men with tiny meat and overweight out of shape women with breasts touching the waistline they no longer have.

NEWS FLASH: Every generation has it's share of exhibitionists, not just the Millennials.

SEE ALSO: Beaches, Nude

YMCAs in the 1950s required boys toswim nude, and some high schools in the 1950s and 1960s also allowed boys to swim nude.

First off, no woman should even try high impact cardio without a supportive bra. Second, this will create a breeding ground for the spread of herpes and HPV (genital warts). What is the point of this? People already get to flaunt their naked bodies in the locker room. Even if you were to create a third, co-ed locker room (so that the straights can see each other naked), no women are going to use it.

Finally they will be off the street. The return of mental hospitals.

LOL! I know this gym and Harry too. Times must be tough!

Harry is 55-57, good looking, and last I knew is straight and married. A lot of people who attend this gym (at the time I was going) were Independent trainers with their clients. I never knew it to have its own robust membership. Most of the people who I saw in the gym were fitfat to excellent shape. There were very few women. I do remember that there was a trainer there who was GORGEOUS and very straight BUT his entire clientele were gay men. He left to open up his own gym.

It must be really hard for small independent gyms to survive and then make money too. You have the 3 big chains that have swamped NYC--Equinox, Crunch, and NYSC (New York Sports Club). I hope it works for him. It's a really nice but small gym. I remember when a couple of yoga studios were doing nude yoga. It's just a gimmick and it soon passes.

I guess somebody and something had to replace the David Barton gyms and it's "Look Better Naked" theme.

I do yoga and I'd like to try nude yoga at home, but I don't want to smash my balls.

FWIW, a couple of times on a hot day, in the privacy of my own bedroom, I've tried just doing some basic stretching and calisthenics type exercise nude.

It's uncomfortable AF and you're very aware of your cock and balls swinging around

There's a reason athletes wear compression shorts

I'm a nudist whenever possible. I workout and also practice yoga clothed. However, I have taken a few all-male naked yoga classes at a nude getaway. Loved it, feels great. I would take a nude workout class if my gym offered it.

It's very freeing, R48. In my opinion, all nudity does is help one build confidence and self-esteem with their own body. Lots of people have problems with their own body and image. Hey! Here's a novel idea for you fatties; If you are ashamed of your own body, and you don't like the way you look, then work to change it.

Then why do millennials constantly take selfies in the most banal and idiotic of places. And years ago even guys who worked hard to keep in shape weren't taking polaroids of muscle flexing at every opportunity.

Nudies!

Young straight and gay men are not even nude in locker rooms.

This will be for elderly gay men dreaming the impossible dream.

This could be fun with the right crowd.

[quote]This will be for elderly gay men dreaming the impossible dream.

I doubt it. Not at this gym anyway. You know... people forget that when you work REALLY hard on your body and you're achieving/achieved results that this... this... feeling and attitude just overtakes you and suddenly you're singing Diana Ross at the top of your lungs;

" I'm coming out. I want the world to know. I got to let it show!!!!"

only retards will go.

i am not gonna expose my private parts to who knows what germs and bacteria on surfaces. fuck that shit!

maybe this is just a gimmick, it's to get some attention but it won't really happen coz nobody will go.

[quote]only retards will go.

Nope. But, I'm forgetting that this is DL and rife with body issues, low self esteem, etc.

Okay, Joan...

Oh yeah, it will people taking photos with their phones now. And put on the internet.

Seriously r57, so many pearl-clutchers here.

For most women it's painful to work out without a sports bra on.

A typical DL'er. Fellas, meet your fellow brethren Andrew Chance Caldwell. Also, in a typical DL setting--the steam room preying upon the young and innocent.

No one is clutching pearls at the thought of breaking taboos, R61.

We're nauseated by the reality of bare ass cracks, vaginas, and scrotums on workout machines and common areas. We're also laughing at the impracticality of working out with breasts and genitals flopping and slapping around.

The right workout shorts are practical and sexy.

Says who? You were probably the biggest whore at the Mineshaft. You were also the bottom who was the sluttiest cumdumpster in tons of anonymous sex romps. Pathogens my ass.

I don't care about some gash, with or without a bra.

The bra does not cover the gash.

There is no equipment involved. Read the fucking article. The classes use your own body weight as resistance.

I'm sure you can use the same disinfectant the gym has for equipment on your section of the matt.

Here is my question how do some of you use a public restroom or eat in a public restaurant? Or all you germaphobes does housebound?

The men will need bras, too.

no. fucking no way. what if the person in front of you farts and it was filled with shit?

[quote] LOL! They put themselves up on the internet anyway...

Look... for some people this would just be a different resource to use to motivate themselves. If it's not for you then it's not for you

R69 you are very mean.

stains everywhere

and

p a t h o g e n s

R68, they're very Republican in their way of thinking. It just all boils down to many of them are ashamed of their bodies or they have had some bad experience or something like that.

It was okay for the ancient Greeks, so....

R68: Are you being facetious? Nobody's naked ass/privates are touching toilet seats At least I hope not!). You wash your hands after flushing the toilet (which I do with my foot - if it is not automatic) and use tissue to open the bathroom door. Public restaurant? You're dressed, right? Everything is covered. See the difference yet?

"sex positive" = running to the pharmacy every other day to get various prescriptions filled

Get some barbells and a yoga mat so you can flop around at home.

Log on to Chaturbate if you need an audience. You can wink your sphincter for the masses, and even make a few extra coins.

This gym owner will lose more existing customers than he will gain with his little stunt. Let's hope no one was dumb enough to pre-pay their membership for 2018. They'll be out-of-business very soon.

So it's the same as when people go to the exercise classes at nudist camp.

Nothing to do with sex positive or negative.

R74 and the rest - try doing some "body weight exercises" -- push ups, air squats and burpees -- while naked tonight at home.

Unless you are hung like a thimble, you will quickly realize why gym shorts are a good idea.

(And do them for real, not half-assed lazy versions. Pun intended.)

R76 - Public restrooms you have no idea who has done what to what. Public restaurants you have no idea who has washed their hands before touching your food. Seems to me it should be just as much a concern as a naked workout.

Poorly wiped asses sitting on benches. Sweaty pussies with the occasional yeast infection.

Lawd have MRSA!

[quote]This gym owner will lose more existing customers than he will gain with his little stunt.

I disagree with you 100%.

I did something like this a few years back. I was bored with my workout routine and decided to hire a trainer to do a workout in the nude to spice things up. I placed an ad on CL and got a ton of responses. It's not as uncommon as many of you tubs of lard think. I forgot how I chose the person that I did (because it definitely wasn't by picture) and it was $100 bucks for like an hour and 15 minutes. Anyway, he was a very good looking black man, straight (I saw pictures of his daughter and we talked about her), and he was a personal trainer. It was a VERY GOOD workout and very professional too. He told me things that I should work on, etc I enjoyed it and would do it again. I suppose it would be Harry that would be leading these workouts and I have no doubt that they will be conducted in a professional manner.

Honey, I'm a bodybuilder and working out naked is old hat for me. But, on my journey I can relate to why some people would want to workout naked.

R54, R57, R71, R82

And....

I have done outdoor naked yoga at a nude gay getaway. It was a good class. We had all seen each other naked in various other situations and activities at the camp. There were no cameras or inhibitions at the yoga class. It was just yoga, only naked.

[quote]It was okay for the ancient Greeks, so....

We're not in Greece. We're in the land of the puritanical and repressed Republican.

In Japan there were mixed public baths in a few places at least into the 90s. I doubt there are any left anywhere, but you could find them in the countryside and places like that. Invariably the only people who'd use them were old pervert men. I imagine the gym thing will be about the same.

haha... you're so funny R87--NOT! Also, I wrote that he was a very good looking Black man. That Diesel thing is not good looking to me.

R82 lucky you.

I had a straight trainer I was very open with and talked to him about nude posing as a motivational factor, talked about classic nude physique posers that I was amazed he knew about and he showed me topless pictures of himself posing and came to my apartment to train me personally.

When I told him I wanted to lose weight and train nude, not him me, he cut me dead and made me feel like shit.

I was completely mortified and he made me feel like a total creep.

i know who will go. those ugly young studs with good bodies looking for sugar daddies coz the good looking young studs would already have found rich men already. and whores looking to be hired.

people thinking of suicide will go

I can't wait to sit down to do the vertical lifts and place my naked coin slot directly onto a vinyl padded seat that by this time is COATED nacreous layers of permacum

[quote] Honey, I'm a bodybuilder

Well there's an oxymoron

I just don't see this working out. Some people don't wipe their asses after taking a shit. We've already seen many DL threads on that very topic of crotch stench and how bad it smells, asking if they should tell their partner or end the relationship. Some women don't wash their pussies but at least their clothes cover the odor. Many threads here on "Does her pussy stink?" And "My partners ass and balls stink." All I would need to see is brown skid marks on the equipment or a floor mat once, or get a wiff of crotch stench or pee and I'd be outta there fast.

Sounds yummy!

It was a success! Harry led the class.

R6 That is exactly what I was thinking.

[quote]Ew! And you know only the fat and wrinkled people will be naked. It is never the bodies you actually want to see in the buff.

This, unfortunately, seems to be a law of the universe. Whenever there's a place where nudity is allowed it's always the nasty, gross people who take it all off, never the hot people you would love to see naked.

It's almost like they are just living their loves and the universe doesn't exist for your sexual enjoyment r99.

lives*

That gym gonna STANK like ASS!

But the universe does exist to protect my gag reflex cunt r100. XOXO

r83 you made me pee a little.

*fuuuurt!*

I tried a gay men’s naked yoga class not too long ago. Every guy in the class, except the instructor, had about 30-40 years on me. I didn’t return.

Maybe you did not go to the right one, R106

being nude is not unsanitary.

^ Using certain equipment while nude is.

[quote] I tried a gay men’s naked yoga class not too long ago. Every guy in the class, except the instructor, had about 30-40 years on me. I didn’t return.

The cutest guys — and the ones who know most about what they're doing — tend to be in the mixed groups.

And R109 sitting on the mats and benches too.

Once again, if it isn't for you then don't do it. I have done nude yoga--everyone has their own mats, and I've worked out in the nude. You just place a towel whenever and wherever one is needed. The gym and mats are all cleaned with sanitary solutions.

[quote]holy fuck there are tons of marys out there

They're not Marys. They're usually out of shape fat fucks and/or have other body issues. These are the same people who can't say or write "penis" or "vagina" but use the terms; "hoo-hoo" or "ding-a-ling". You just have to let these people be and let them continue to live in their own Republican universe.

It has been my experience with naked yoga of having A LOT of HOT guys in the class!

Good for her!

A bizarre new fitness trend is sweeping the nation – where participants exercise completely NAKED

A PERSONAL trainer has come up with a cheeky new way to get people’s hearts pumping this year – as she’s launched one of the first ever NUDE workout classes in The UK.

If naked restaurants and bike rides in the buff weren’t revealing enough, the new trend encourages fitness fanatics to bare all.

If someone is so ignorant to compare this to restaurants and bathrooms, they are too stupid to live.

Hopefully, dining out doesn't mean an asshole or pussy was on the table before I've eaten.

This retard is probably fine with fraus that change a diaper on a table at whatever all you can eat buffet in Flyoverstan.

Drop dead, and I hope your asshole gets a yeast infection so bad you can bake bread out of your hole.

r113's pic shows exactly the kind of people who get naked when nudity is allowed - gross and nasty. No hotties at all.

"Jesus H. Christ, it smells like ass in here!"

^ Always look at the bright side of things before dismissing them, you know like when life gives you lemons make lemonade.

You could bottle "the ass" and sell it. There's guy making a fortune selling canned farts.

As long as the trainers and instructors are attractive and naked that's enough.

Do none of you know how to put down a towel before you use exercise equipment?

Do you just sit in other people’s sweat in non-nude gyms?

they're such civilized people in the UK

Obviously, one would put a towel down on a bench. In addition, this should also happen at a clothed gym.

It's surprising how many gay men are so uptight about their bodies.

[quote]It's surprising how many gay men are so uptight about their bodies.

LOL! Many of them should be. AND YES... I'm fat shaming because YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!

R122 has a large and disturbing skin tag on her no-no hole. So nudity is out of the question.

It could be very freeing

Weeeeee.....

[quote]Hanson Fitness revealed that they'd be offering a "total body workout that uses your body weight as resistance

And yet all the hysterical queens on here going on and on about the equipment being soiled and dangerous and blahblahblah. No equipment is being used. It is an exercise class using body weight not real weights ....push ups, etc. Maybe a bar to do pull ups. Calm down.

And, why you will not see many men taking part in such sessions.

I was just at the gym tonight thinking of this thread. Aside from the obvious sanitation issues (a definite deal breaker for me), a naked gym, at least for me, would kind of ruin the underlying sexuality that exists, which makes going to the gym fun. Part of what I enjoy is imagining what the hot guys in the gym look like unclothed. Many times I've seen super ripped dudes changing in the locker room only to find they are packing way less than what I initially thought, or despite being handsome, their bods just weren't as sick as I thought. The clothing allows the mind to wonder, which is a great thing. With that said, there have bee plenty of dudes I've seen on the weight floor clothed who far exceeded my expectations. So . . . yeah.

So it took 120 posts of moronic pearl-clutching before r121 showed up to point out the completely obvious.

Eh...I'll pass.

It could be fun, R132

[quote]R69 you are very mean.

He is. He is very mean.

BUT, try and tell me he’s lying. Lol.

[quote]Nobody's naked ass/privates are touching toilet seats At least I hope not!).

How the hell do you shit, R76? Standing up?

Let's hope they offer yoga with these guys.

Everything would smell like ass. No thanks.

[quote]Hey! Here's a novel idea for you fatties;

You're a really nice person. The respect you show for other people's feelings is an example to us all.

^Forget it, R140. It's Datalounge.

No...

Does that NKD trainer guy do porn?

Naked yoga

Pump

One of our local yoga studios have naked yoga for men. It's all gay men. They usually have sex parties after with a few select invitees. Keep in mind this is a small community where it's the same pass-around whores passing each other around. They're all gross.

What happens if you get an erection?

They’ll use you for a chin up bar, Rose

Working out causes shrinkage.

[quote]You'll be sharing bodily fluids left on the exercise equipment,

What do think happens when you use a public toilet? It's no worse than that, and people should be putting a towel underneath anyway.

I did naked partner yoga a few times. Hot. I ate out a guy's ass once while he was doing a pose. We were all hard, of course.

My friend started a naked yoga studio in Hollywood. In order to join you had to submit a full-length naked photo of yourself. His reasoning was that he didn't want full out of shape guys there just ogling the in shape yoga guys. I was very shy about going, I really thought I'd get a boner during class and to me, that would be embarrassing.

But the class was at a mid to advance level and it was way more of a work out than I had anticipated. so getting in and out of the positions was tough that I didn't get a chance to get a woody. It was a serious yoga studio. It was fun and I went for a while. But never experienced anything sexual.

And do it again if I had the time and money.

BTW: we all brought our own mats and towels.

I don't look good naked, so, no.

.....

Training

Sweat, dingleberries, and smegma on the weight benches. What a buffet!!!

Sounds like just another way for bottoms to get nude for other bottoms, even though they're looking for tops.

The combined smell of sweat, Vick's Vapo-Rub, and anal mucus

I cannot wait to work out nude!

Are they hiring people to constantly wash down the equipment? It's going to be a breeding ground of all sorts of diseases and germs.

I can imagine the lawsuits beyond just the sexual harassment ones!

The dude in R163's post has been posted here at DL several times.

Is he Hispanic or South Asian? I can't tell. Besides his humongous cock, he has a handsome face. Some people are actually into faces, not just cocks and bubble butts.

I guess he's an escort or a pornstar, otherwise, who constantly posts nudes of themselves online?

I don't really see the practical benefit. Or any other benefit, to be frank. Even if the most beautiful people in the world were present, I'm there to get myself in shape, not them. And I don't feel I need an audience.

Dumbest idea, EVER.

Dumbest THREAD ever!

I've got this idea for a movie - a mutant pathogen born on the exercise mats of a nude yoga center wipes out 9/10s of humanity in a matter of weeks.

A gay romantic comedy - with a twist!

I have taken all-male nude yoga. I love it.

This is one of DLs Boomerang Posts that pops up every so often, gets lots of Maiden Aunties in a twist and then disappears again

R88 or anyone with knowledge. Why do public baths exist in Japan? What is the point? Don't they have showers at home?

????

Yoga....

Urban gym

Close enough.

I have taken naked yoga. It's fine. No big deal.

I wonder if the gays who attend think PrEP will protect them from Giardia and athlete's...everything.

There will be rivers of ass crack sweat.

I have a great name for such an endeavor!

WARTS AND ALL

R143 Nice Boner!!!

R193 Holy Mother of God, that is amazing

Not even legwarmers to keep your thighs warm?

I met a guy at the gym who missing his left lat muscle. I asked him what happened and he said he had popped a pimple on his back , put on a loose tank top with low arm holes, headed to the gym and contracted flesh eating virus off the the equipment pad, when he laid down on the bench.

Moral- Always pre wipe the equipment and use a towel!

Gross. I'm all for nudity but there's certain activities it's good for and certain activities it isn't.

Naked Saunas: Good

Naked Gyms: Bad

Naked Swimming: Good

Naked Hiking: Bad

Naked Gymnastics could go either way.

I don't know what gyms these people are going to where every member is a hot, fit dude in their twenties. At most of the gyms I've been to 90% of the members have either been fat or old. Most hot guys work out from home now.

[quote]Most hot guys work out from home now.

Interesting that you would raise that point. Here, in NYC, that's not true. But the reason that your point is interesting is because many apartments have their own gyms but they go unused and collect dust.

R223 I meant more like with their own gear at home, ie in their own apartments. Or with personal trainers. Either way.

So basically these things are a way for gays to find each other, check each other out, and fuck in the steam rooms? Ah, I get it. It's just Equinox with less clothing.

I would think the teacher would run the idea by the administration to get an opinion. He did it to make a statement.

Of course everyone will be buff, gorgeous and hung.

It would discourage people from exercising.

Keep in mind…there will be plenty of people one does not want to see naked.

[quote] Naked Gymnastics could go either way.

More likely you’ll end up with fatties falling all over the place, their flab flapping in the wind in every direction.

This thread is making me think Cheeto's Clorox theory is a good idea.

I'd be up for this. Just bring a towel, which you should anyway. Dont see what the big fucking deal is here, some of the marys on here

I used to think Dominic Pacifico was so hot until that video where he shoves a dildo about the same diameter of a fire hydrant up his ass. When did bottoming become a competitive sport?

Two decades ago at a men's athletic club we were able to work out with free weights naked. We put towels down on the benches before we used them. There were usually two or three naked guys there. These were the city's movers and shakers. You didn't make a big deal out of it. The pool area had been nude for over a century.

It was easy to get naked, do a 45-minute workout, shower and put your business clothes back on before your lunch was over. Very few of the guys were ones I would be attracted to, even if they were gay. Except there was one guy, great looking, married with children, CEO of his company, who was very well-built. Big chest, nice nipples, decent cock, big bush, tight ass, hairy arms and legs. We talked business while we were lifting. I think fear motivated me to be, ahem, disinterested.

Close enough
