What About Laundry? – Smelly workout clothes or Freshly washed fitness clothing?

The gym is filled with different kinds of people, with different attitudes about everything, so todays topic stems from the ever lasting argruement, should you wash your sports  clothing everyday? Once per week? Or what?

Personally I like to wash my gym clothes every 2-3 days, only because I wear different stuff each time I go, I have about 2-3 outfits I wear consistantly to the gym. What we want to find out today is what is the consensus amount that an individual should be washing there workout clothes? I have had this discussion with many people prior to posting this and some say once per week is fine, while others claim that this isn’t your highschool gym class anymore and people should not have to smell you from across the gym! While I was one of those kids in highschool who only washed his gym clothes every now and then I would have to agree that smelling someone from across the gym is not something I look forward to when going to the gym! But I am also not someone to mess with a persons workouts.. if you are increasing your weights because you believe that dirty gym shirt is the reason then power to you, continue to smell up the gym!

When do you wash your fitness clothing? How often should people in your opinion? And if you are brave enough, fess up to being one of those people who doesn’t wash them often and let us know why?!
