I want to be the type of person who wears coordinated spandex to the gym. I want to retire the Ivy League branded heather grey T-shirt of a school I didn’t go to. I want a crisscross applesauce strappy sports bra that makes my breasts look like two mildly inflated tennis balls and not like a pair of neglected reef buoys, just bobbing; bobbing up and down.
Fortunately, athleisure brands, like Stella McCartney and Live the Process, responded to the plight of many (just me?) with the resurgence of the gym onesie, which, for the purpose of this experiment I will henceforth refer to as the human condom. I did a bunch of exercise things in a variety of human condoms (they come in all different of colors, shapes and sizes) and was pleased to find that working out sucked a little bit less.
I enjoy a TRX workout just about as much as I do browsing pictures of Kim Jung Un on the Internet. Both experiences can be painful and yield favorable results, such as an inflated sense of self-esteem. The beauty of the gym onesie is that it stays put; your workout is maximized because you’re not spending time picking your shorts out of a camel toe or trying to make a fisherman’s knot from the hem of your tank top.

Certain onesies are conducive to certain exercises. For example, the Live the Process onesie makes you feel like you are swathed in God’s cotton, and its flexibility and lightness might best be put to use in Yoga or Pilates class. The Stella McCartney onesie that makes me look like a wet baby seal is a bit tougher and probably best suited for cardio. I will say that none of these onesies are conducive to keeping a low profile at the gym, and climbing into one feels a bit like being on a pogo stick with nowhere to pogo.
I think I’ll stick to my heather grey t-shirts for now, but if I ever want to create the illusion that I’m something far superior to what I actually am, I’ll just slip myself into a human condom.
Check out my moves in these bad boys.
