Nude Gyms

Some clothing at least keeps a little bit of sweat from spilling all over. On the other hand I may not require clothes but I may require a huge towel to cover the machine seats. That is quite unpractical. Also, I believe that gym is one of those situations where some support is needed, at least for men!

This is true, and I did sort of consider that. Though I would think that considerate cleaning practices could alleviate that problem. Like the gym I go to has little spray bottle and paper towel stations *everywhere* and an understanding that you clean down any piece of equipment after use. I imagine a similar or better policy could be a norm in a nude (or maybe near nude or something) gym environment.
But yeah, some things (ahem! treadmills) benefit from the structure of clothing.

I have mixed feelings about this.
I can definitely see the possibility of someone not cleaning their machine and leaving sweat and body hair behind. There's nothing wrong with those things, but i didn't ask for them.
On the other hand, i hate having to constantly pull my boxers down under my shorts or the feeling of the sweaty collar around my neck.

I don't think so. After all (according to evolutionary biologists), humans are among the best long distance runners and have been so before the invention of clothing. Indeed our ancestors probably ran faster than we do in the nude on a regular basis. Food for thought.
Fomalhaut:
Clothes or not the gym equipment is always dirty/sweaty after someone uses it, gyms typically require (though it isn't enforced) to bring towels to rest your head/body against the machines. A nude gym would simply have to make it mandatory, but I'm fairly certain nudists in general would upkeep the rule more so than in your standard gym. I always clean the equipment before and after using it with the spray/papertowels they provide at gyms. It's the gym, If you're concerned about germs you're in the wrong place.

This. I really hate it when I go on a machine and there is sweat on it. Clean that shit.
But I do hate the way clothes sometimes feel or get in the way. I would especially like to naked and there is a mirror to see both my muscles and form when working out thou
