Dutch gym to introduce nude workouts
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Self-conscious about what you wear while working out? A Dutch gym plans to introduce “Naked Sunday“ for people who like to huff and puff in the buff.
Patrick de Man, owner of Fitworld gym in the town of Heteren, said he got the idea in part from two of his customers who are avid nudists. “I heard that some other gyms are offering courses on ’pole-dancing’ as a sport, so I thought: Why not bring something new to the market?” de Man said. He said the response had been overwhelming — positive and negative. The 70,000-member Dutch Federation of Naturists was curious to see if Fitworld’s plan would work, spokesman Bernd Huiser said. “We recently conducted a large survey among our members, and most prefer to exercise with their clothes on,” he said. “The most popular activities (for nudists) are things you do outdoors, like walking on the beach, or swimming in a lake, or maybe gardening.” De Man said the first question Fitworld customers were asking was whether it would be sanitary. Nude exercisers would be required to put towels down on weight machines and to use disposable seat covers while riding bikes. All machines would be cleaned and disinfected afterward. “We clean them every day anyway,” he said. The first “Naked Sunday” is scheduled for March 4. http://www.canadaka.net/link.php?id=18785

 Yeah, that would take some getting used to. I have nothing against nudity, but I am not sure if I would want to participate. It would be amusing to observe though. I agree with h2, it would be sketchy.

People will probably suffer respiratory problems from the bleach fumes.
I personally, would not want to share excercise equipment with a bunch of naked strangers. eww! And then there is the perv factor. I get annoyed when anyone leers at me when I am working out as it is. I prefer to wear unprovocative workout clothing because of this. If I were naked I might become homicidal. I could see myself hurling weights at peoples heads.

It is rather awkward to be with a bunch of naked strangers.
In showering facilities its not that odd. But when its a mixed group it can be unsettling at first. If you ever been to a sauna and saw men and woman sweating nude its pretty strange. Also, not all the people there are young and athletic. If you got a bunch of old fatties its not really worth looking at. As for working out, well its not quite for me.

there'd be a set of criteria to be met before being accepted into my nude gym...
