Would I look retarded at the gym with a Weight Vest?

Question

It's a big weight vest. It's not even a girl vest. 

It was my brother's and he gave it to me lol it fits me BIG! but it doesn't look retarded... would it look retarded to wear it at THE GYM though? 

I know people use them to go out hiking, running, walking... but to the gym? Would I look stupid? 

I don't actually care what others think... but I do a little bit... :D! 
 if you saw someone, "a girl" with a manly weight vest on at the gym, what would you think? she looks retarded? stupid girl? or just whatever? or what? 

In case you don't know what a weight vest looks like...

I don't see no problem in girl wearing weight vest. She should be free to wear it
without having to deal with worrying about what others think is the way i see things
just block out all the negative thoughts you have. Hell people look at guys wearing
make-up, like eye liner, goth make up, guys wearing permed/ wavy hair you think
i care no way in hell , i don't care about what people think. If they want be rude and
point fingers at me calling me names let them, it's on them not me people will judge
us when were dead and gone.

You work out at the gym and that vest is made specifically to get more out of the workout. I don't see what would be weird. I don't think there's any "outdoors only" label on those vests.

I would probably think more like "Wow, this girl is really taking her training seriously". Seeing a girl in that would be damn more impressive than the girls in pink outfits and their cell phone taking selfies.

Looks kind of like a life jacket. But to answer your question I would imagine the gym is one of the few places that you CAN get away with wearing it lol. When I go to the gym the only people I notice are the ones that I actually know and even then I just wave and after that I don't focus in them. I think you're good to wear it.

Who the fuck cares? Your there to exercize, do the best you can and use whatever you need. It's a gym not a fashion show. Your there to push yourself.

I'm offended by the use of the word "retarded", you could of said silly or even stupid (though that might offend stupid people who know theyre stupid) or any other term that is more accurate, anyways no you wouldn't like like a mentally challenged individual with it.

For someone like me, a regular gym goer. I'd look and think, 'oh, she's wearing a weighted vest' and then never think about it again and continue on with my workout.

I saw a guy on the treadmill with it. I didn't think he was stupid, I thought he was pretty beast mode if we're being honest.

Weight vests are great. I'd be impressed she understood how to increases resistance on a lot of bodyweight exercises, not just reps.

I'm not a gym guy, but coulsnt you just get the same effect for any lifting simply by adding more weight? If you're runnin on the treadmills that's different I guess.

At the gym, no. However if I saw someone wearing a weight vest at the grocery store then yeah I might think differently.
