    How would you feel about your wife going to a coed gym?

    Simple question...

    I'm not yet married, but engaged. I trust my woman to go. The way I see it, she has too much to lose if she decides to do something stupid. Even if she gets half, hahahah.

    Trust man, if you are worried about this, you need to figure out why.

    If you are worried about it, you might want to email Dr.Phil or something so he can b!tch you about being insecure. I look at it this way, give them the freedom, that way if they DO cheat, then atleast you knew. If they are going to cheat, they will do it regardless of where they go.

    It depends on how much it costs. Besides that, absolutely nothing. I just assumed that at all gyms are coed, besides the showers and lockers.

    :confused:

    Gyms are gross, and unless it's a college gym, they're a horrible place to pick up women. If she's gonna cheat, she's more likely to cheat with a guy she meets at the grocery store than at the gym. Besides, there are fringe benefits to your woman working out. :D

    If you're truly worried, you may have some issues that aren't related to where she exercises (at least in the conventional sense).

    That's how I feel. Tara is at a co ed gym.

    My sister just signed up for one and her hubby is not happy about it. He asked me to ask 10 other married guys how they would feel about it. Including me, I'm up to 4.

    Why not just go work out with her.. if the wife is hot and the husband is a tub of lard, then he might need to work out a little, or atleast show some effort to keep his woman. I mean, if I was a tub of lard I wouldn't bother, but that is just me.

    am i missing something? aren't all gyms co-ed?

    besides, one should be more worried when the wife does NOT want to go to the gym.

    anyway if a coed gym bothers you than don't let her work out side the home unless you work in the same place at the same time

    Already told him in so many words. He's not into the "gym" thing.

    Correct. You should be happy your wife wants to go to the gym.

    I'd feel the same as if she was going to a male strip club: have fun, be safe, and don't spend too much money.

    i agree with the rest and specifically this...
    im married and dont worry a bit when my wife goes to the gym. i get a text message letting me know shes gotten there ok and when shes about to leave and im good. <- this is just for safety reasons. i am not sure whos going to decide to do what i do go with her from time to time as well.

    Hispanic?

    That was an easy one. :D I'm just kiddin', man. But, seriously, it could be true. Most of us Hispanics don't trust our own women 'cuz we think that as soon as she starts lookin' hot, some dude is going to sweep her off her feet. We better do our homework. You know what I mean: do some house work, love her and treat her right, listen to her. Most of us men don't do that, so they go off trying to find a way to get someone to give them what we don't.

    My wife took an aerobics class a couple semesters ago, and she developed an afinity for the fitness thing. She looks great and I could care less even if it were a male personal trainer. Heck, as long as she came "warmed up" home, I even encouraged it. :)

    Anyway, man, my answer is "NO", I couldn't care less. Tell your brother-in-law to trust your sister... and that they better do something about those dogs. :p

    EDIT: if your bro'in-law is not into the "gym" thing, and he's not willing to do that one little change for HER, he's not really being a good hubby, IMHO. :eek:

    I'm guessing that your brother in law has far bigger problems than his wife working out in a coed gym. If someone wants to cheat, they're going to find a way.

    Personally, I don't mind my wife working out in a coed gym. I trust her implicitly. I also work out in a coed gym. She trusts me as well.

    Not married and maybe this is the reason why, but tell that wench to get back in the kitchen and make him a sandwich. Kidding. If she wanted to cheat, she could do it at any time. The gym is no more or less likely a place to meet a guy to have a fling with than at a grocery store, or heck even over the net. He should just be glad she wants to keep her figure and take care of herself.

    First, he should probably be happy she's taking care of herself. Second, if he's worried about her at a gym, he might as well never let her out of the house by herself. And that's not a recommendation.

    Stopping her from going to a co-ed gym won't stop her from givin up the poo-nanny at the grocery store, mall, bookstore, work, school, or wherever.
