Gym in Spain's Basque region offers naked workouts
Quote:
A gym in Spain's Basque region has come up with an eye-catching way of battling the recession.
It has begun offering naked workouts, for nudists.
Easy Gym in Arrigorriaga is the first of its kind in Spain, pioneering the peculiar practice of stripping while keeping fit.
"With the crisis we noticed there were fewer people using the gym," owner Merche Laseca explained to the BBC.
"I'm not a nudist myself, though I have no problem with it. But this initiative is about the money."

Would certainly liven up the gym experience for some!

The imagination is a wonderfull thing. The images I have in my mind of the naked Gym members probably bears (sic) no resemblence to reality.

Re: Gym in Spain's Basque region offers naked workouts
"It's your clothes that catch the sweat when you work out," said Idoya Echevarria. "So where does all the sweat go, if you're naked? Onto the machines? The floor? Or onto the person next to you?"
Yuk! I have changed my mind. That is digusting

eeeewwww
Exercising question
Quote:
"Each to his own," the owner of another - traditional - gym in Bilbao told the BBC. "But I think it's the most unhygienic thing in the world."
"It's your clothes that catch the sweat when you work out," said Idoya Echevarria. "So where does all the sweat go, if you're naked? Onto the machines? The floor? Or onto the person next to you?"
And after all that research, Ms Laseca was disappointed by the low show at her inaugural session. Only four naturist fitness fanatics turned up.
"But the people who came really enjoyed themselves," she says, apparently undeterred. From May, the gym will operate every Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday - exclusively for the uninhibited.
A teacher has already been in touch to offer naked yoga classes.
