Nude gyms, the next big thing?

Do you sometimes struggle to find the motivation to go to the gym? Is it just too much effort to change into gym clothes after a long day at the office? Well, a Spanish fitness studio is testing out an new concept by allowing gym members to work out in the nude.


Not sure that would really be your style? Well, the president of the Basque Naturist Association made a compelling case when she told the BBC: "Doing sport without clothes is natural - and much more comfy."
Not everyone is convinced:

Sceptics suggest that running full tilt in the buff might not be entirely enjoyable, though. Sports underwear, they point out, was invented for a reason.

But the gym owner denies her concept is impractical.

"Being a naturist doesn't mean being daft. If a woman needs to, she can put a top on!" says Merche Laseca. "But there's cycling, weightlifting and the Stairmaster: there's lots you can easily do naked."
