Is this good for women to use in gym during yoga classes or working out with machines?

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

I personally wouldn't wear wraps for that. For machines or Yoga I would use more of a fitted knee support, rather than a wrap. I generally use wraps when I'm lifting heavier than normal weight. The only machine I would use them on is possibly a press machine or squat machine.

I think that it is perfect for women who use moderate weight. They are really soft.

These wraps are heavy and intended to tightly wrap the knees prior to doing heavy lifting. They are not appropriate for yoga classes. If you have bad knees, you could use wraps to wrap knees before doing leg presses.

It is probably OK for arm workout. You could C clamp it down if it moves. I don't know hoe heavy it is.

It works really well. I use it on a daily basis with cardio and weight training. It is comfortable to wear and helps maintain the level I need during workout.

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

Hi Benny, Yes! I sweat a lot too, which is why I looked into purchasing this mat. My yoga class is usually around the 80 degree mark and we all sweat. I've found that my grip is best with Aurorae's "carpet-like" feel. This mat really soaks up the humidity and sweat, so I would suggest that after each class you wash/spray/clean and air dry it. That way it won't retain yucky smells. I've been taking my class 2x a week for 2 months if that helps. So far--very happy with this purchase.

It's not a yoga mat and would slip on the floor. You could use it in place of the blanket or towel you take to yoga.

Yes. After using this I can say it is for men and women. Regardless of gender, I have to say it is fast paced and those not familiar with the exercises will need to hit pause until they get used to the fast pace. Make sure you have all of the equipment too. Other than that, go get em!

Yes. I bought these for my husband to use while working out. He loves them!

Yes! I am female and I am been using it with no problems. The energy is a big reason why I tried it, as I work out early in the morning, don't drink coffee, and tea relaxes me!

Yes, I use this for my hot yoga classes and it works wonderfully. I can't stand the feeling of microfiber so this alternate is ideal.

Yoga is the only thing I haven't used this towel for.... yet... but I would, and know that the comfort and versatility of it will be useful to you. This towel has replaced many things for me; I can use it for just about anything. Good luck to you!

Yes it could! Comfy but tough enough to be an all around exercise mat. You may want to look into the extended size mat and you can use it for both activities without limiting yourself space wise.

SLMHP, I use mine for very active zumba, Yoga, aerobics and never have a problem. Since it is fully adjustable for tightness and support, I say that Yes you could use this to support when running. Probably may have to adjust the tightness once or twice during the run depending on distance.

Yes it is good for any exercises. The mat is very thick . I am thin and bony and thinner mats were uncomfortable to use. It is also quite long to accommodate a tall person

It can be a little slick but it isn't too bad for working out. That's what I have been using it for and I have never had a problem. It has a texture to it that helps keep a better grip. They do stay interlocked well when you are moving around on them.

I think so. I was able to do a very active yoga practice on it and it stayed in place.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.
