Limits of Spandex
Dear Fitness Clothing Makers:
I would appreciate it if you stopped making spandex clothing in any size above a 14 or 16. I understand that spandex is a somewhat ideal material from which to fashion workout clothes, but I see no reason for anyone that is a size, say 32, to be wearing spandex in public. To be completely honest, I don’t think there’s any reason for anyone that size to be wearing spandex ever.
But I digress.
I think if you stopped making spandex clothing in those sizes, people would stop feeling like they should actually wear spandex when they clearly shouldn’t be. Seriously. I know you make spandex pants in my size, but I would never actually wear them. Not until I drop 3 or 4 sizes. I have the common respect for my fellow man not to expose them to things like this… unfortunately not all of my fellow gym goers have this same respect.
It may also help if you develop a Public Service Announcement that discusses this serious issue. You could save people embarrassment. Most of all you could save people from having some serious emotional scarring after observing things of this nature.
Sincerely,
Kate

Kate… can you compose a letter to Gold’s Gym on the following topics: Requiring all patrons of the gym to use some sort of deodorant; also, I would appreciate if I never have to see some crazy women attempting to use the elliptical in HIGH HEELS…!; and asking the staff of said gym to chastise patrons who choose to sweat all over the various equipment and then not wipe it down when they’re done! (YUCK!)
Going to the gym is very much one of my favorite parts of the week… I feel like I’ve accomplished something and that I get to let so much steam and energy off… but some people that go to the gym are just DISGUSTING…!

as far as I’m concerned, unless you are a size 2.4.6.8.or 10, you SHOULD NOT be wearing spandex for ANY reason. And if you ARE one of the aforementioned tiny people, why the hell do you need to?
