Not surprisingly, there were no women taking part in the celebrations... Even I wouldn't want to workout beside a number of naked Azamat look-alikes! http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2228091.html?menu= Women stay home as naked gym opens A dozen middle-aged and elderly men - but no women - turned up for a Dutch gym's first naked work-out session. Participants at the Fitworld gym in Heteren were outnumbered by journalists, photographers and five TV crews. "There are things that you like to do, and for a nudist, it just feels better to do them with your clothes off," said Ron van der Putten. Patrick de Man, owner of Fitworld, decided to open the inaugural session to the press after receiving inquiries from as far away as Russia and Australia. No women nudists attended, though De Man said eight had signed up, out of nearly 100 applicants overall. Local councillor Frits Witjes, who cut a ceremonial ribbon to declare the day open, said there had been a mixed reaction among residents: "Some people are happier about it than others," he said. Staff and helpers wore aprons with a nude body painted on. Exercisers were required to put towels on weight machines and to use disposable seat covers while riding bikes. In addition, the machines were to be cleaned three times before they would be used again by the gym's regular clientele who had expressed concerns about sanitation.
I can't do that...Sweaty arse and ballz...I hate it when guys are butt naked on the leather recliners in the gym while watching TV (badazz HD setup btw)...I have to put a couple of towels down so I don't have azz jam all over me...
gyms are already the most germ ridden places on earth.. if you add in the "everybody is butt-ass naked" factor then the germ factor skyrockets.. you'll end up sick every 3 weeks..
Gym Etymology: Latin, exercise ground, school, from Greek gymnasion, from gymnazein to exercise naked, from gymnos naked Seems like it was meant to be so long as the establishment is called a "gym". ...though I think the term "sausagefest" was probably equally appropriate the first day.
i dont use the showers at the gym. i dont even sit on the benches in the locker room as every guy is sitting on it without a towel.
“But the thing you don’t realize is that there’s good naked and bad naked. Naked hair brushing, good; naked crouching, bad.”
Oh great this is how the netherlands makes the news that gym is in the town next to hy hometown. Who would want to go there?
