Would You Feel Comfortable with This?

Well, I doubt they were asking you, to group seduce you before work at the gym!

I don't think it's inappropriate, at all.

Actually, if you are comfortable with those two guys, I'd do it. Personally, I'd rather work out in the morning than at night. I talk myself out of it by then..
Also, I think it's great to have male friends... Really, I miss that.. There was a time when over 1/2 my friends were male and it never felt awkward. not to me or my husband...

either way, workout to the schedule that best suits you. if morning will get you there more often. I'd definitely do that..

good luck to you!

I don't think it's inappropriate, and I see the convenience, but me personally, I wouldn't want to 1) go through the day smelling like a workout, or 2) shower at work. ;)

If working out in the morning is better for your schedule and your husband is fine with it, I don't see any reason not to. You can always switch back to evenings if you feel uncomfortable.

Why don't you invite the other woman to join you? She might be happy getting it out of the way, too.

Do what ever you want. If you want to work out in the AM and feel OK working out with the guys, then do it. If your husband is OK with it, then I don't think it is a big deal.
I used to go to the gym all the time in college with the guys. They are better workout partners. They push you to work harder and don't complain about their hair, waist size, nails, husbands, kids, etc...you get the point :)

Seems fine to me. Maybe you should invite the other woman to join you in the morning as well if you feel uncomfortable.

Its not abnormal or unless you make it or they make it. My only suggestion would be to definitely bring your girlfriend---don't do it alone. Too much can happen and even though their nice co-workers, I wouldn't put myself in the position---no matter how great they are~

No, I would not have a problem with this. What seems to bother you about it?

The gym is at work. You aren't going out of your way. You don't have to stay after work.

Do you think these guys have nefarious intentions?

I have worked out with men and women. No big deal. You need to ask why it's bothering you...are you attracted to one of the men? No, not being mean - but is it subconscious? If not. Go! Get healthy! Have fun!

It is entirely appropriate since your husband is OK with it.

Nothing wrong with this as long as all spouses are ok with it. The one draw back is if you would be leaving the other coworker (the female) in the lurch.

You're working out, not making out. There's nothing wrong with it.

I used to work out with a male friend, it was actually pretty fun.

It wouldn't bother me, especially if it fit my schedule better and I got home earlier.

It wouldn't bother me if I knew or saw a group like yours working out either. Who knows, your challenge may be greater which would end up in a more productive workout.

I suppose your worry is what others will say or gossip? There will always be some catty person, usually an insecure, jealous female that loves to stir the pot at the office.

Go about your business and get a good workout. Good for you for being dedicated to your health!

i don't think it's inappropriate at all. especially under these circumstances. good for your husband for not being silly about it.
i've become more funny about working out with men over time, though. we had an awesome belly dancing class a few years ago. one of the gals wanted her husband to come in and drum for us, and it was voted to allow it to happen. he was a really nice fellow, but it totally changed the energy. with the best of intentions he kept making 'supportive' comments that made me want to belt him. we were all relieved when he drifted away.

i think if you are okay that should be good. Some gyms are women only because many women do not like to work out in front of men.

Is your female coworker depending on you for support? Many people find it easier to workout with a partner.

I would be the type to pick a lady personal trainer over a man. I have a girl friend (also married) who likes working out with men. Maybe they push her harder?

No, it's not inappropriate. You guys are sweating away and then going to work. I'm sure everyone is in a hurry to get going with the day, too.

Only if one of the guys gets "weird" about it should you have a problem.

theres nothing wrong with it. if your uncomfortable with it then tell them you feel more comfortable with another lady instead of 2 men.

Yes, I would feel comfortable. I work with mostly older men, and they're just a wonderful bunch of guys. It sounds like great fun.

Group workout, no big deal.

If your husband is OK with it that would be my guide. And it's not like you've committed to this for eternity. If you feel uncomfortable or have a wierd feeling about it - you can stop any time and jsut say the mornings aren't working out for getting the kiddos out the door, etc. Maybe you're just a fun person and your co-workers find you an encouragement. On the other hand if you have a smokin' body they may jsut want to ogle you while you work out. Baggy sweats will cure that. ;o)

It would be better if another woman was there but not a deal breaker. Rarely does a work out schedule remain the same over a few months. That said, what happens if one guy is sick? You need to check with H then. He has final say. Not because he's the man, because he's the spouse.

There is nothing inappropriate about it, unless you think there is some kind of attraction between you and one of the men. In that case it would be inappropriate.

do it. it works better for you. invite the lady to join, tell her that earlier is easier for you

I would check with the lady you're working out with in the afternoon just to see if she's ok working out alone, or if she would rather work out in the morning with you and the guys. Beyond that, I don't see an issue. It sounds like some friends/co-workers wondered if you wanted another option.

I would be okay to do it. I would feel better in another woman went along with me. I would also make sure it was a "meet at the gym" kind of thing.

I'd go, it's not like you'd be hanging out in the dressing room shooting the breeze...lol.

Sounds great. I don't see a problem.

if something in your gut is telling you that it feels slightly inapperoperiate with the way he asked weather it was his body manner or just your gut. then no dont feel the need to work out with them. i actually feel safer working out with men. i think there is nothing inapperoperiate with men and women working out. if you feel uneasy then perhaps there was something in his approach or question that made your sixth since alert. listen to it. just any co ed working out it should be ok...normaly

It's only inappropriate if it's inappropriate. If you suspect they "like you", then no, don't do it. You don't need regular intimate schedules with people who may try to "get to know you a little too well". And if your'e uncomfortable working out with men, don't do it. I have some male friends who I feel absolutely comfortable seeing at the gym, so it could be fine to do this. Go with your gut.
