very good for gym

I work out quite vigorously at the gym, usually 60-90 minutes on the treadmill, at a moderately steep incline, and at a brisk pace, power walking or jogging; and carrying 5 lb dumbells in each arm, doing constant curls. By 30-45 minutes, I am usually dripping in sweat. By the end of my work out, the machine usually tells me I have burned around 550-700 calories, depending on the day. (which doesn't include the weight lifting portion, which is not recorded by the treadmill) For years, I have relied on the same old fashioned cotton gym towels, which over the years have become frayed and thinned. But they did the trick, with no gimmicks. So I thought I would treat myself to an upgrade. I searched Amazon for “gym towels”, read multiple reviews, and was impressed by the reviews of this product. I regret the purchase. Though well intentioned, these towels are basically very thin by design, with little overall, cumulative absorptive capacity. By the time I am mid-way through my work out, and have wiped my neck/arms/face multiple times to remove the sweat, the towel becomes saturated through & through. Then by a certain time when I again try to wipe off the sweat, the saturated towel basically re-applies sweat back on to me. Yucky, yucky, yucky, is the most polite way to put it. It was gross. When I lie down on the bench press, I try to be polite and put a towel on it, so as not to transmit sweat to the bench, for the next user. Traditional cotton towels work great for this. Today, toward the end of my work out, it just left a layer of sweat on the bench, which I needed to get some gym paper towels to clean up. By the end of just one work out with this towel, I yearned for a traditional absorbent, thicker cotton towel, that can handle the sweat generated by a serious work-out. These towels may be OK for very casual work outs, especially for people fond of the synthetic 1970’s leisure suit feel. Myself, I’m going right back to cotton.

These towels work great for workout sessions.

My husband had a stained, ragged gym towel that he also used to do isometric exercises when we travel and he refused to get rid of it because he could not find a replacement that was the right size. I finally shamed him into allowing me to buy him a new towel and was thrilled when I found these! The first day he took his new towel to the gym he came home and said he LOVES it and thanked me for buying them. He is a big man (6'1", 205lb.) and has long arms so the towel works perfectly for doing isometrics. They are also lightweight so they dry quickly and take up minimal room in his suitcase. I bought four towels so he could use a fresh one every other day but think I may buy a few more to have on hand as backups. Overall we are extremely pleased with our purchase and highly recommend these towels.
