Open Question: Are you in favor or against a full t-shirt policy at a college gym?
My college requires everyone at the gym to wear sleeved t-shirts. Their t-shirt policy rational is as follow: •Research and surveys indicate that people are reluctant to begin an exercise program if they are intimidated within the environment. •Recreation Sports operates under a philosophy of creating a comfortable environment for all its members. •The weight room specifically has been determined to be the most intimidating for participants. •It is necessary to have a dress code policy in place that is definitive and enforceable. •There are hygiene issues related to excessive contact directly on the equipment. •Successful marketing tool for selling memberships to staff / faculty / alumni. •Positive comments from Recreational Sports members; as well as special populations such as breast cancer and physical rehabilitation patients. •Consistently supported by the Recreational Sports Advisory Board members. The Board is a cross-section of individuals from the University community, some of whom are members and regular participants of Recreational Sports, and others who have limited involvement. However, I don't like this policy and I don't think their reasons are good enough, and here is why: •Everyone I've asked so far says they would like to wear sleeveless shirts, or tank tops at the gym, because it gives more freedom of movement and better ventilation. •Most regular gyms I know don't have a full t-shirt policy, and people seem to attend it anyway. •Even though there's a full t-shirt policy, shorts can go as short as some girls like to wear, and it's unfair to cover people's shoulders/arms because a group of people feel intimidated by it, but not cover someone's legs/butt that can be just as intimidating. •I agree there should be a dress code that prevents people from going overboard with their attire, specially because after all, the gym is still part of the university, but the dress code shouldn't prohibit sleeveless shirts/tank tops. •Even though there are hygiene issues, those are not eliminated by a full t-shirt, given legs, and sweat that passes through the cotton still is in contact with the equipment, and that's why they provide wipers to clean the machines. •I don't see how anyone would be more or less interested in a gym if sleeveless shirts are not allowed, it would have the same demand regular gyms do. •At gyms without that policy, we can see there seems to be a balance of people wearing t-shirt and people wearing other sports sleeveless shirts. So, even if the policy didn't exist, it wouldn't mean that everyone would wear sleeveless shirts. •Seeing other people's stronger arms/shoulders could perhaps be seen as an encouragement, instead of the opposite. A lot of people like being competitive, so it could be good motivation. •It would be fair to everyone to be able to choose what they'd like to wear, instead to sticking to some people's preference. •Particularly, I like to work out seeing my figure (and there are mirrors everywhere, so I'm sure that's encouraged), and it's demotivating to see a big t-shirt where my waist should be, and sleeves that make my arms look short. And I know a lot of people don't like looking at themselves on the mirrors, but if that is a problem, then take out the mirrors, not make people wear t-shirts. What do you think?? Are t-shirts really a necessity at a college gym? Thank you!
