The Average Gym-Goer Lets Their Clothes Ripen A Little Before Washing Them

I’m always getting results of various surveys, but since I’ve been working out and getting into shape, this one interested me especially.

A new survey found that only 21% of people say they wash their gym clothes after every single workout. That means 79% don’t. I do wear a different shirt everyday, but a majority of people will go THREE workouts before they wash their gym stuff . . . and women, you are worse about washing your clothes than the men.

I’ve never noticed anyone I workout with having an offensive odor, of course I don’t go around sniffing them either. 44% of people say it has a negative effect on their workout when the person next to them at the gym stinks. I’ll work on that.
