Do you wash your workout clothes after every visit to the gym?

What's your washing cycle like? I feel like if I don't wash my shirts they stink from stale sweat, yet washing them every day becomes tiresome since I go to the gym 3-4 times a week.

I wear a fresh shirt almost all the time (generally just the undershirt I was wearing at work earlier in the day). I'll also wear one of several pairs of sweats that I don't wash after every gym excursion, either.

I have several workout shirts, shorts and sweats. I may wear my sweats days in a row but that's because I just wear them to and from the gym and switch to my shorts and shirts when I work out. I couldn't imagine just having one or two set of work out clothes, hell they would last long if I did. That'd be like just having a pair or two of socks or underwear.

I wear a clean shirt every time I go. My athletic shorts and sweats don't really get dirty, so they get washed every other week or so.

Luckily, I have about 10 million tshirts from when I was in college, and now that I'm in the "real world" I never wear them other than the gym.

I do rewear shorts a few times before washing them. I don't sweat much at all so its not a big deal.

I don't wear the same shirt unless it was a light day and it's a dry fit kind of shirt. Normally wear a new shirt each time, shorts change out once a week.

Thats actually the kind of shorts that I wear, and they don't really get to nasty to quickly.

I have 4 pairs of gym shorts, 3 long gym pants and a truckload of t-shirts. I don't wear the same thing to the gym twice without washing it, but I don't have to wash them every day. Buy more clothes.

I only wear socks and shirts once, and the shorts I wash once a week. My shirts don't really get stinky, well as far as I noticed but then again no one ever knows how they smell. Bt not enough to warrant them to immediately be thrown in the washing machine.

uh, I do the same thing as with my other clothes. I wear clean clothes every day, and buy enough of them so I don't have to do wash more than once every 1-2 weeks.

Socks and shirts once, but usually wear the shorts two or three times before washing.

I wear my shirts twice, and a pair of shorts goes for a week. I don't sweat nearly as much at the gym as I do when I run.
