I properly cooked last night in the gym, no airflow at all in there and ended up cutting short each cardio activity
Was thinking I could get a small fan to take with me to blow on my face a bit as that's what seems to bother me most
Anyone done this? If so what do you take?
Fresh air - outside?
anyone take a small fan to the gym?
Yes, he cheers me on and applauds when I do dips and lunges.

I do plenty of that as well. I do a session on monday nights to do some really high intensity cardio in the works gym. Plus i don't have a cross trainer or rower at home

Only when I have done really well.

Not sure about getting them to blow on my face tho. 😆
EDIT: Oh FFS too bloody late!
Ah, I see you've met dips and lunges! 😆
I've often pondered whether gyms keep temp a little 'unfriendly' to make people sweat more & feel better about their efforts?
That said, if I spotted someone on the treadmill with an oscillating pifco strapped to the front, I'd laugh 🙂
Hot sweaty gyms smell the best, I find.
I take one of these...

...with my golden sweaty body and long golden hair blowing in the breeze I look AWESOME! 😀
I just use my sports equipment to propel me along at about 22 mph and I find that the slipstream keeps me cool.

There's a big "You'll look like and even bigger knob" alarm going off at the thought of taking a fan in. I was hoping there would be some STW'er out there who'd done it

Not in this case, I work in estates dept. and know it's not been built that way
How about one of [url= https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=clip+on+fan&safe=off&client=ms-android-motorola&espvd=1&source=univ&tbm=shop&sboxchip=Shopping&sa=X&ei=G6qSVeSSBeLm7gbShYz4Aw&ved=0CBoQsxg&biw=360&bih=511#espvd=1&spd=3523791033904329174 ]these?[/url]
Seriously though, don't think you'd find anything discrete enough that's not USB powered?
Possible to change gyms? Mine (DW) has fans build into the treadmills.
I take a towel along, as I can't stand the feeling of sweat on my skin. But I'm the only one in my training group of 10 - there are some filthy people out there.

Dickheads in air-conditioned gyms up and down the land do this :/
Embrace the sweat. It's doing a job.

Obviously I was assuming that because the OP was so hot, there was no aircon.
there is air con, and i work in the office with the guys who manage it and they've not been able to get it working well. Think it'll be a towel, but i sweat buckets when i'm running so i may need a bath sheet

Ah, I see you've met dips and lunges!
