This isn't necessarily the opinion of MuscleMecca bodybuilding forums.

Are gym outfits getting out of hand?
In this video, Marc Lobliner dives into the rising trend of hyper-revealing gym wear and asks the hard question: Has the gym become more about attention than training?

We break down:
👀 Why modesty in the gym matters more than ever
💪 How revealing outfits affect the training environment
📸 The impact of social media, validation culture, and fitness influencers
🚫 The double standards nobody wants to talk about
✅ What gym etiquette should actually look like



This isn’t about shaming — it’s about respecting the space, the work, and the people around you. The gym should be for training, not thirst trapping.

Mark Lobliner’s latest video dives headfirst into the heated topic of gym modesty—and he doesn’t pull any punches. Prompted by a conversation with his daughter about what’s trending on TikTok, Lobliner takes aim at the rise of revealing outfits in the gym and the growing number of viral videos where women call out men for "looking."

According to Lobliner, it’s not about slut-shaming or justifying creepy behavior—far from it. He admits straight up: men look. Sometimes it’s admiration, sometimes confusion, and sometimes it’s just a natural response to a body that's on display. But that’s where he draws the line—looking isn’t a crime, but touching or catcalling absolutely crosses the boundary.

He even reflects on his own past of training in tight gym gear where everything was visible, emphasizing that his intent wasn’t attention-seeking—it was comfort. And maybe, he suggests, some women feel the same. Others may be chasing attention, and that’s their right, too. Just don’t be shocked when people look.

His key message? If you’re putting it out there, expect people to notice. You can’t showcase your goods and then play victim when someone’s eyes wander for a second.

He wraps up by saying: gyms should set clear dress codes, but unless you’re breaking laws or gym policies, wear what you want—just don’t be surprised by the reactions.

“Flaunt it if you got it,” Lobliner says. “But if you don’t want the attention, maybe don’t flaunt it in the first place.”

Thoughts? Should gyms tighten up dress codes? Are guys being unfairly villainized for looking? Drop your opinion below.
