I run cold. So, so cold, all the time, and gyms are kept extra cold for obvious reasons. Unless I'm doing cardio, I'm freezing without wearing a sweatshirt and pants.
Before someone asks, yes, my thyroid is normal.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I used to do it because i don't like showing much skin. Its not warm clothes perse but a full ankle covering pant and a hoodie .
Agree with others but would add “pump cover,” especially if it looks like they’ve been at it a while.
Lifters often wear a hoodie or an oversized shirt for their warmup sets. Once their muscles look slightly bigger (pumped) due to increased tone and circulation, off goes the pump cover.
This grand reveal is usually for the benefit of other lifters in the vicinity and isn’t necessarily sexual in nature.
Edit: not judging anyone. I do it too.
isn’t necessarily sexual in nature.

Three main reasons
Firstly, it does make you sweat more, which reduces your weight (temporarily). It’s common for people in sports that require a weigh-in to do this and also partially dehydrate themselves before they are weighed to make their weight class.
Secondly, it’s done by people trying to lose weight in general who have heard about the first group and incorrectly believe inducing sweat this way will speed up their weight loss. The exact opposite is true: by intentionally overheating yourself, you actually reduce the effectiveness of your workout, making your fitness goals harder to achieve in the long run. There are tons of myths like this that seem intuitive but hold a lot of people back.
Thirdly, people are just self-conscious sometimes and cover up their body
This answers it. Thank you! 🙂
No pain no gain no loss
For me personally I start in a sweatshirt but once I’m warmed up I usually take it off. I feel like it helps me warm up a little quicker. I go to a climbing gym vs a regular gym so maybe that’s why.
I always thought it was to induce sweating. Never bothered looking but I also always thought that's what we call them "sweats"
Why do they want to induce sweating??
No need to go to the toilet!
I bet it's some weird thinking of weight loss or removing those "tOxInS" or something.
BTW Keep hydrated folks!
Same reasons as saunas I'd guess.
Cause it feels nice?
Drinking beer and shagging?
