I only found womans sweat pants and I never saw any shorts. I will look there again on monday. Maybe they sold out because there was a lot of people buying stuff. It is the first week of classes.

Cargo pants are baggy so they give you more free movement and flexibility. They are good to use when doing squats or running. Plus they are way lighter than a pair of jeans and its pretty tough clothing. They also keep you much cooler when wearing them than wearing sweat pants. This is why I only wear cargo pants.

What is proper footwear?

If I ran a gym, no one would be wearing lose clothing, sandals, or jeans. As a matter of fact, just to show them how unsafe it is, I'd drop a five pounds on them.

What I recommend to do is use a cargo pants, but cut out all of the pockets.

I think so too, but there really isn't anything in the gym that would be snagged by my pants unless it some how got inside my pocket. Cargo pants are baggy, but they are not baggy enough to snag something like a barbell. Besides I would Never walk near by anyone who is working out because I know they will lose their concentration and be pissed at me.

If you dropped five pounds on anyone they would kick your ass(if they can) just to show how unsafe it is to fuk with them.

Maybe I should cut the pockets out...

Just to clarify things, I don't wear jeans when I work out.

So now MP3 players or anything with headphones?

Let's say someone was lifting a really heavy bench, and you just happen to pass by and your pants get caught on the bar for just a second and causes them to lose grips and smash their chest.

Or let's say you're walking and your pockets get caught on a weight rack and it comes crashing down on your foot.

Since when did MC Hammer pants come back in style? I'm not following your logic. When was the last time you saw a pocket catch on something? And why are you walking that close that a pocket would get caught?

Shoes or no shoes or sandals. A five pound weight will do just as much damage.

Pockets are on the inside. Now you're just walking around with holes in your pants.

I think everyone that goes to a gym that doesn't allow them to wear pretty much what they want should go up in arms. These are stupid rules.

I had a guy that worked at my university gym tell me I had to wear shoes while deadlifting so it would protect my feet. I kindly thanked him for reminding me the shoes would save the 400 pounds smashing down on my feet.

I'm happy someone put forth the energy to respond to Dallen's comments. Sometimes he just confuses the **** out of me.

Do they have those little metal domes on them? Maybe they were worried about them ripping the upholstery or poping a swiss ball.

Well jeans arent athletic clothing. Get some shorts from your school store or order online. You can get them for real cheap anyways.

No jeans / cargo parts or shorts because they may have rivets / zippers which damage the padding on the equipment.
