Hi /fit/. Lardass here. I want to join a gym. No. I'm going to join a gym. But I'm already stuck at what sneakers to purchase. I only have flat sneakers and never really had running/jogging shoes aside from some really cheap ones I bought at walmart a few years back. About $70usd is my limit.
Also I had general gym questions to ask:
I'll be going before/after classes so should I just take my gym clothes and what I plan on wearing to class and change back into my 'normal' outfit after or is it more advisable to wear not change in and out and back in to street clothes?
Should i take bodywash with me or is just washing with water enough? I went to a public school with no showers so we didn't do anything for gym except put on deodorant as far as hygiene is concerned.
What exactly should I be taking with me?
Anything else you think might be useful.

>shoes
Doesn't matter what shoes you wear when you lift, flat are reccomended most of the time but really doesn't matter. Definitely going to want some running shoes if you plan on running though.
>changing clothes
Personally I wouldn't give a shit about changing and just where whatever I had on, but I go a bit earlier before my class so I can comeback to my place and shower first and then change, but if you're comfortable showering at the gym and changing go ahead.
>body wash
Definitely take body wash, it'll help with the sweat smell.
>what should I take
If you plan on showering at the gym probably take your gym clothes and a pair to change in and out of, prob some soap to so you don't smell like shit.
See ya in the gym

git new balances ma nigga. ive been wearing te same pair for 3 years now and they're still good enough to keep. need to fix the outer sole tho because it's starting to come off but some glue will fix that. i use them for running everday. i'm not trying to save money but i know of myself once i start buying new shoes regulary nothing will ever be good enough and i will start using my shoes as an excuse for why my performance is below standards on certain days

You definitely don't want a running shoes for deadlift and squats.

This. You can really fuck yourself up squatting in running shoes. I cringe when I see peoples heels rolling around or lifting up.
OP. If you have flat sneakers like converse, they are perfect.Skate shoes are ok, same concept flat.
My pic however is Inov8 235. Great for everything, though I prefer oly shoes for squats.
