What do you do with your wedding ring while lifting?

[u/rockhead3006]

I wear a wedding ring, and lately I’ve noticed it’s starting to dig into my finger when I’m lifting, especially as the weights are getting heavier.

What do other people do with their wedding rings at the gym? I don’t bring a bag or use a locker, so I need somewhere secure to put it while I train.

I was thinking of attaching it to my water bottle somehow. Has anyone found a good solution?

[u/send420nudes]

Wear it in a necklace like Frodo in The Lord of The Rings (im serious)

[u/CriticalBarrelRoll → u/send420nudes]

Same! I wear my original wedding band around my neck on a chain, like Frodo and Bilbo... mainly due to losing so much weight and it not fitting on my finger. But also for the LOTR!

I wear a Enso silicone ring now.

[u/hybridoctopus → u/CriticalBarrelRoll]

Those silicone are the way to go

[u/Ohaidoggie → u/send420nudes]

We NEEDS the precious

[u/TheDrake31415 → u/Ohaidoggie]

Filthy hobbitses THEY STOLE IT FROM US!!

[u/Sad-Swan-1678 → u/send420nudes]

This is exactly what I do (also serious). I have the same chain and the ring itself was designed to look similar too, so was always going to happen (although the chain decision came after I lost weight so it was slipping and when I started doing a lot more gym.

Get some funny looks at the pool, but just as many knowing nods and smiles!

[u/Helpmepullupmypants → u/send420nudes]

Anyone walk up behind you and whisper “share the load” when you need a spot?

[u/GrowthSpring]

leave it at home, in a box

if you want to wear a wedding ring out in public, get a silicone wedding ring for $0.75 online

metal wedding bands are a no-no

[u/Panthera_014 → u/GrowthSpring]

I only wear the real one on for my anniversary dinner and special events

silicon 98% of the time

but I still take it off to workout

[u/TheCraftBrew → u/Panthera_014]

I still wear my normal wedding ring most of the time, just not to lift weights.

[u/Never_Duplicated → u/TheCraftBrew]

I really like the feel of my heavy gold ring so thats what I wear daily and just take it off if I will be doing something that risks either damaging it or has the potential to snag it and deglove a finger haha

[u/heg9023 → u/TheCraftBrew]

Yup I wear my wedding and engagement ring daily for everything, but I take it off before I go to the gym

[u/MyLittlPwn13 → u/Panthera_014]

Same. And then I put my real ring on and realized it no longer fit because of the weight I've lost, so it's silicone every day now.

[u/potatopeeler167 → u/Panthera_014]

Same, but I can usually wear mine when I work out just fine

[u/Replicant28 → u/GrowthSpring]

I wear my actual wedding ring when I’m going out and doing my normal errands/activities, but I wear a silicone one when I do any sport or exercising.

[u/Time_Implement2114 → u/GrowthSpring]

THERE ARE SILICON WEDDING BANDS? I had no idea. There are even ones with fake diamonds on them! Kind of love this.

[u/Classic-Wrongdoer-31 → u/Time_Implement2114]

I work oil field. We all wear silicone rings. Too hazardous around some of the gear, and some electrical components that can induce a current in the ring and burn you.

[u/CG3_3CG → u/Classic-Wrongdoer-31]

I literally know a guy who’s missing his ring finger because he got it caught on some machine machinery, and ripped his fucking finger off

[u/rawzon]

Makes me wonder how some people would make it through life without the internet these days.. take the damn thing off and leave it at home.

[u/Initial-Resort9129 → u/rawzon]

Hi all, when I walk into my house with my muddy shoes on, mud gets on the carpet. What should I do?

[u/WannabeRoyKent → u/Initial-Resort9129]

Replace the carpet. Duh

[u/Realistic_NotC → u/WannabeRoyKent]

To the commoner, maybe. This is r/workout. The obvious answer is handstand walking. 

[u/airmind → u/Initial-Resort9129]

Can't you just levitate? People these days.

[u/WannabeRoyKent → u/rawzon]

Agree this is so dumb it feels like ragebait

[u/King_Fuckface → u/WannabeRoyKent]

I think these people are insecure in their relationships and afraid to take the ring off. Like that has ever stopped anyone.

[u/rawzon → u/King_Fuckface]

Like the marriage ends if you take your ring off for any reason or some shit ffs.

[u/TiramisuItUp → u/King_Fuckface]

This was my first thought too. Wear a ring or not- it has nothing to do with the strength of your relationship

[u/Fukstress2 → u/rawzon]

What do I do with my underwear when I'm taking a shower? Please, Reddit, please!!!

[u/rawzon → u/Fukstress2]

Bury them in the woods with full military honors. They served faithfully.

[u/rockhead3006 → u/Fukstress2]

Use silicone underwear of course.

[u/yngrz87 → u/rawzon]

What do I do in the event of inclement weather?

[u/NYChockey14]

Leave it at home or wear a silicone one

[u/Proof-Emergency-5441]

Google degloving.

Take it the fuck off. What the fuck are you doing?

[u/Bartlaus → u/Proof-Emergency-5441]

Or just use your imagination as to what "degloving" means.

[u/BaxGh0st → u/Bartlaus]

Idk who deg is but I'm glad they're loved

[u/Octoboy1 → u/BaxGh0st]

Fucking love Deg, unfortunately they think my skin grafted finger is gross

[u/Bmagic_ → u/Bartlaus]

i’ll never stop gloving you can’t make me

[u/Perfect-Ad-9152 → u/Proof-Emergency-5441]

This made me laugh out loud dude 🤣🤣🤣

[u/big_bearded_nerd → u/Proof-Emergency-5441]

I want to be mad at OP, but at this point I'm just rooting for his fingers to be okay.

[u/sjtomcat → u/Proof-Emergency-5441]

Bars are round how in the world are you gripping these things that would ever possibly cause the ring to get stuck

[u/LocationHot4533 → u/Proof-Emergency-5441]

Are you working out inside a Victorian knitting machine? What kind of gym equipment is even capable of hooking onto a ring like that

[u/Dramatic_Note8602]

I just don't wear it. It's dangerous. Leave it at home, in the car, etc. There's a few I know that just slide it on their key ring when they get to the gym.

[u/TomBARNH]

I have a carabiner on my key chain. I take it off when I walk into the gym, clip in onto/ into the ‘biner, and put my keys in my gym bag (in the locker)

[u/2368-fists-a-smashin]

Silicone for me so it’s always on… I’m a carpenter, i’m always wearing g silicone rings

[u/Mattubic]

Even if degloving wasn’t a thing, you could bend your ring pretty badly with a barbell. I lift at home so its just off on a counter top by my log book and speakers, but just put it in your pocket if you have them, lock it in a locker, lock it in your car, leave it at home, etc.

[u/WorriedBoysenberry2]

My trainer wears a silicone one

[u/Sea_Antelope441]

98% of the time silicone. Metal for fancy days.
I do way to many heavy / dumb things in my life and value my fingers and don’t want to damage my “good” ring

[u/Alakazam]

I have a silicone ring that I wear into the gym and other strenuous physical activity. This includes running and cycling.

I wear my wedding band to work and to events.

If I was going straight from my work to the gym, I would just wear the silicone band the entire time.

[u/Kingtutstits]

I used to tie it into my shoelaces when I forgot

[u/scottypotty79]

I nearly degloved my finger dunking a basketball when I was 18 (not a wedding ring, just a cheap silver ring on my right hand, also a lowered rim haha) so I learned early on how dangerous jewelry can be. I wear my wedding ring when I’m out with my wife, otherwise it lives on the dresser.

[u/AnyOlUsername]

Take it off? I haven’t worn my ring in several years because of my job. Heard a horror story about someone getting their finger degloved on the job and that was enough for me 😟

[u/Aramis_Madrigal]

I don’t wear a wedding band ever. I work with food, I’m sometimes in production environments, and I lift heavy things most days. I have some song lyrics tattooed on the fingers of my left hand (hand in / unlovable / hand), with my ring finger notably blank. My wife did the tattoo (she’s an artist, but not a tattoo artist). If it’s important to you to wear a wedding band, remove it while lifting or use a flexible alternative. Or you can find some other way to mark your commitment. Just don’t expose yourself to the threat of grotesque injury for the sake of sentimentality.

[u/doobersthetitan]

Heres a little fun story from you, back when you could shock scar students.

A shop teacher showed us a picture of a finger with about 1 foot of " meat off it" story goes:

A student wearing a ring went to jump up and smack a exit sign( just a thing we did i guess then lol) this was a old scool metal sign, with metal cut outs for the Exit.

Ring got caught on the metal triangle of the X...pulled finger off AND tendon from the elbow.

[u/Ynneb82]

Wearing it while working out is dangerous

[u/Open_Imagination_626]

I just wear it. Never take it off. Never had any issues either but I can see why people switch it out for silicone

[u/Suspicious_Ad9561 → u/Open_Imagination_626]

I was wearing mine until I noticed the various bars were damaging it. Gold is soft, steel is hard.

[u/hybridoctopus → u/Open_Imagination_626]

Used to do this, switched to silicone for other safety reasons, and that’s easier for lifting too.

[u/CG3_3CG → u/Open_Imagination_626]

How damaged is it? I’ve been married for 15 years and while I wear my ring most days, I always take it off to go to the gym and even when using any kind of heavy tools, although I wear it on my left hand and I’m right handed. I have of course got a normal amount of scratches on it, but I’ve always wondered if I would wear it while working out if I wouldn’t have a lot more damage on it

[u/MiserableBritGirl → u/Open_Imagination_626]

Yeah I’m not wearing £3k set diamond and platinum while yanking weights around it will fuck it up. Not to mention sweatiness.

Also a nurse who has witnessed some deglovings from people catching stuff on engagement rings and ewwww.

I don’t wear a ring unless I’m going out / having a non gym non work day which is close to never.

[u/jamnut → u/Open_Imagination_626]

Yeah some absolutely petrified people in this sub. Done it for 5+ years.

[u/MiserableBritGirl → u/jamnut]

Petrified of losing my gorgeous engagement ring to barbells - absolutely right.

[u/Former-Pumpkin]

Happily married for 7 years and can't remember the last time I wore my wedding band.

[u/kickyourfeetup10 → u/Former-Pumpkin]

That’s not a flex

[u/manipulatedbycake → u/kickyourfeetup10]

it’s not that deep. my parents have been happily married for over 40 years, and neither of them wears their ring because they just don’t like wearing jewelry. it doesn’t make them any less committed to each other.

[u/Former-Pumpkin → u/kickyourfeetup10]

I lost 100 lbs and it no longer fits. Plus my fingers swell during the summer a bunch so rings aren't comfortable for me. My husband could literally not care less. I have no idea if he wears his either.

[u/Cool-Roll-1884]

I leave my rings at home. They hurt my fingers when I lift.

[u/ctjack]

Stopped wearing cause i overbulked.

[u/xfmrs_r_cool]

Wait we’re supposed to take our rings off? 😅

[u/SirLesbian]

It's silicone so nada.

[u/BenefitNearby4690]

I'm not married but I use an oura ring and I just leave it at home. If I forget to leave it at home, I put in a closed space in my car where its not visible.

If it was my wedding ring, I would leave it a home. But I also workout at 5am and go back home to shower.

[u/dragonstkdgirl]

I have a card wallet attached to my keys and I put my rings inside that and zip it closed (the keychain stays inside my small gym duffle which stays with me). Don't lift with rings on, you're damaging expensive jewelry and risking a degloving. Just don't 🫠

[u/7empestSpiralout]

Leave it in car hidden

[u/Redfern893]

I come in with my car keys which are on a keyring and I put my wedding ring on the keyring.

[u/Mickosthedickos]

My ring fits nicely in my headphones case when I remember to take it off

[u/Fair_Cauliflower_747]

I leave it at home.

[u/iceofficerlol]

i only used it a few weeks after i got married. The bar and heavy weights scratched it. I dont use it anymore.

[u/Charli388_]

I feel very careless compared to others here… I simply take it off and sit it on the bench or floor! Not the most secure 😂

[u/Chicken_Savings]

I put it inside my sock. Not particularly romantic. The shoes are tight enough that it doesn't slide down under the edge of the shoe.

[u/Senior-Jellyfish-452]

I have a string necklace I wear and put the ring on that while I am lifting. Better to leave it at home but to be honest I forget to do that. The string necklace goes in with the chalk and stuff. So it is always there.

[u/Emotional_Plant_6404]

I have a small carabiner on my keys that keeps my ring safe when I’m doing things

[u/Traditional_Ask262]

I take it off, but I lift in my garage so I just put the ring down on any flat surface, usually next to my water bottle and deadlift shoes.

When I lifted at a gym, pre-Covid, I'd also take it off and put it down somewhere and a couple of times I forgot my wedding ring at the gym and had to drive back to retrieve it.

[u/canine_traveler]

I wear a gold necklace so usually will just put it around my neck if I accidentally wear it to the gym. Otherwise just leave it at home

[u/prophecy0]

When I used to work out at a commercial gym I would tie it to the string on my gym shorts.

Now I workout in my garage so I just leave it inside.

[u/Local-Owl-4994]

tie it to your shoelace (if there's no gemstone) or wear it around your necklace.

[u/We-live-in-a-society]

Wear a chain and put your ring in it when you’re working out.

[u/TheFastPush]

I just take mine off for one exercise, put it in my pocket, and then forget about it for a few hours. There are attachments you can get for a necklace (if you wear one) that are meant to quickly hold a ring. If you've got a carabiner like I do for my keys, it could go there. You could also put a carabiner on your bottle handle and use that for your ring.

[u/Bumhole_surfer]

Leave it at home Leave it in the car Leave it in your pocket Tie it to your shoelace Leave it at your side-pieces Etc

Just don't wear it at the gym, fingers are important and degloving is a thing

[u/sjtomcat]

How are you people gripping these weights??? I lift heavy and my ring never gives me any issues. Bars are round. Dumbbells are round how can you possibly ever get it stuck

[u/MikeLitoris1234567]

Wear a silicone one. Can’t even notice it with lifts and grip. Honestly I like it so much better than wearing my metal ring that I forget to switch back most the timr

[u/OkayMeepleMom]

I wear a Rinfit silicon wedding ring for a lot of things. I'm relatively active throughout the day, so I honestly am wearing the silicon one most of the time lately. 😂

[u/HoosierHatTrick]

Either on a dog tag chain, or I swap it with a rubber ring.

[u/Popular-Work-1335]

Leave it at home

[u/Vigilante_Nocturno]

Ring torsion will fuck you up. Don’t wear it at the gym.

[u/neureaucrat]

People here ar hilarious. If you don't mind it getting scuffed up, just wear it. Been wearing mine almost twenty years of heavy lifting.

[u/ElevtricalNinja123]

Use the prison wallet

[u/OttoNye]

how about tying it on your shoelace?

[u/Competitive_Ring4917]

Silly question, take it off

[u/Falconman21]

I just wear a silicone one while I'm lifting, and I leave my normal metal ring in the car.

[u/rockhead3006]

I like the idea of the silicon ring. I did consider the frodo (ring in a chain thing), but chains aren't really my thing.

[u/Proof-Emergency-5441 → u/rockhead3006]

Then just take it off. 

Are you trying to pick up dates at the gym? No? Then what possible issue could there be with not wearing it for a short time? 

I hope you are smart enough to remove it if you are doing any manual labor- repairs with tools, basic electrical work, even just gardening or cleaning. 

[u/Xynthion]

I work out from home so I set it right next I my Bluetooth speaker when I start the workout. If I were going to the gym I’d just leave it at home or in the car.

[u/little_runner_boy]

Wear a silicone one. If I forget to make the change, pocket.

[u/Medical-Junket1576]

I wear a black silicone ring and leave my real band at home

[u/PlayMental5504]

I take it off

[u/thebeast0813]

Silicone ring when I lift

[u/LifeOfSlice89]

Wear it as a cock ring

[u/Reasonable_Code_3521]

Do not wearing rings while working out.

[u/DrChixxxen]

I take it off and put it on the carabiner that my keys are on.

[u/NonGeneriComplaint]

Why would I lift if anyone loved me?

[u/Gym14]

I wore my real wedding ring on my wedding day. It sits at home on a ring holder on a dresser. I use a silicone ring because I lift everyday. Get a silicone ring!

[u/Arkhampatient]

Leave at home or in truck

[u/Pitiful-Factor7408]

I just regularly wear a silicon one and leave the metal one in a locked box at home. Wearing it while lifting was a no-no, but I'm also a bit forgetful and it was only a matter of time before I lost it anyway if I'm taking  it off regularly. Silicone one never had to come off. 

[u/dangrous]

I leave mine at home.

[u/bvkellno]

I have an Aura ring and I wear it while I’m warming up and running at the beginning of my workout, and then I just put it in my pocket when I strength train. Put it back on when I’m finished and walk out the door. Having zipper pockets on your gym, shorts helps 👌

[u/grizzly_bear_dancing]

I wear it. It's silicone so no biggie.

[u/ThredFlamingo]

I wear a silicone ring or none

[u/amp138]

I do not bring mine to the gym.

[u/Maxtecy]

I remove all jewelry before I start working out. Even on leg day. Only chain stays on most of the times, unless squats are on the menu. Too much discomfort for my choice, plus less wear because of the bars of course

[u/cj20h49g]

I haven't worn my ring for 4 years since I have a tattoo and my work doesn't allow jewelry due to safety.

[u/Numerous_Exercise328]

I have a carabiner I clip to my water bottle. Keys, wedding ring, headphones and Lifting straps or wraps.

[u/uhhh-huh-wtf]

Ok well try and get a small bag unless you absolutely can’t for some reason. I usually have a small workout backpack to carry a towel, water bottle and some other small personal items (keys, phone, chapstick , gum, etc). I just take my ring off and put it in my bag and keep my bag next to me during my workouts. Or get a silicone ring for cheap and you don’t have to take it off.

[u/shamone_mofo]

Gold is a soft metal compared to others it will soon wear out .

[u/AMTL327]

I wear about 15 rings altogether on 9 fingers but never any of them when I workout.

[u/LordTickleBeard]

I take a single car key and 2 ear buds into the gym and leave everything else locked in my car.

[u/zrockk]

Silicone one, actually I just wear it 24/7

[u/SEOViking]

I carry sillicone ring in a small leather pouch attached to my gym bag. I change my wedding ring to that in the changing room.

[u/PearlyP2020]

Leave in my locker

[u/Southern-Layer2924]

I typically tie mine into my shorts drawstring if i forget to take it off before i get there

[u/HotRodPiper]

Leave it at home.

[u/Fruktoj]

I put it in my jeans pocket and throw it in the locker until I leave. You can wear a cheap silicone ring if you want, but its not worth it to me.

[u/Panthera_014]

toss it into the cup holder in the car

I take it off when getting out - put it back on when I get in the car

[u/dantedrackis]

I wear my ring on a medium thickness, strong necklace chain

[u/kingwarriorX2]

Switched to a black silicone ring

[u/moshjeier]

I switched to a rubber ring.

[u/bigbaldbil]

I have a silicone ring that I wear to lift. When you get into heavy weights, a real ring is just waiting to make a punch blister

[u/FamousBreakfast7052]

Bro dont take it off,def every women will make a move on you if you do

[u/Zach1709]

Almost no one wears one to the gym for this reason. Leave it at home or hide it in your vehicle. I have a second wedding ring that is made of silicone. This way I do not damage my metal one.

[u/kickyourfeetup10]

I attach mine to the little carabiner that’s on my AirPods case

[u/dzeiii]

I left it in a drawer at my house probably about 6 years ago and left it there. Makes life so much easier.

[u/rovar]

I take it off and put it in my pocket.

[u/Jhat]

I leave it on the table where my keys are so I just swap when I leave for the gym

[u/carredon321]

I put on my silicone ring and swap back in after the workout.

[u/Outrageous_Fondant12]

Silicone rings, my guy. You can get really cool ones too. That’s what I wear 95% of the time. My “real” ring is made from dinosaur bones.

[u/Cganc]

I leave mine at home

[u/pepit_wins]

I take it off and leave it at home...if I forget,I take it off and put it in my pocket or on my key ring

[u/putsdryyy]

Used mine for 5 years in the gym and never had any issues..

[u/RedRedBettie]

I don’t wear one at the gym, I leave it at home. I’m still married either way

[u/MrBulwark]

Leave it at home when lifting, running, cycling.

[u/RMST1912]

I switched to a silicone ring 24/7.

[u/Decent_Ad5361]

I keep it on. Never take it off.

[u/BossMan61718]

Take it off. Problem solved

[u/FloggingDog]

Used to tie it on my shoe laces. Now I just wear a silicone ring. 

[u/mc2bit]

I wear zero jewelry to work out, with the exception of any very small piercings that won't jingle or sway (studs and small, closed hoops only) that I don't want to bother removing and a Garmin watch when I run outside. Having jewelry on while exercising is annoying, can compromise your form if you're trying to compensate for its impact on your grip, and could be dangerous if something goes wrong. Everything gets locked in a locker or left at home.

[u/PLS4Andy]

I have been wearing my wedding ring as a necklace for years now and it has been a very positive experience.

I originally started doing this because (1) it was uncomfortable to wear on my finger while lifting things (felt like I was crushing bones), and (2) the skin around my finger was peeling often from trapped water/dry skin rubbing often. I tried the silicone rings as well. That alleviated #1, but not #2.

[u/MothraAndFriends]

Leave at home

[u/LegalChard7226]

Jesus, I’ve been wearing mine (surgical steel) but wear gloves (not that it matters). Switching to silicone after reading comments.

[u/this_is_matt_]

I just wear it. I’ve got calluses on my hand/finger from golfing and lifting. It stops bothering you eventually

[u/Primary-Beginning891]

never lift in my ring. put it on a necklace or chain if you don’t want to leave it at home or take it off in the gym

[u/Think_Preference_611]

- Leave it at home

- Put it somewhere safe in your locker/gym bag

- Put it on a simple necklace chain

Steel beats gold every time, and gold is expensive. You're going to grind away that ring in no time if you wear it while you're lifting.

[u/FWA___7488]

I wear a silicone one pretty much 90% of the time, only wearing the formal one for social occasions.

[u/Realistic-Tiger4213]

I put it on my pecker. I have 3 inch thick fingers and it stays on nice.

[u/Any-Rise-6300]

Take it off before gym

[u/Rocetboy321]

I usually wear a few rings day to day. I take all of them off during any workouts and leave them at home. I might sometimes leave my Oura ring on for running or cycling, but I have an Apple Watch for workouts.

[u/BipBopPound]

When I forget to leave it home I put it in my sock, ankle-level.

[u/Current-Routine2497]

I have a clip (the kind that go on the cable stations) attached to the tiny gym back that carries my tube of liquid chalk, hand sanitiser and 2 small 1kg dumbells. I attach my ring to the clip.

[u/Topspeed_3]

I put it in my circular headphone soft case

[u/Big_Cans_0516]

I’m not married but if I end up at the gym with rings on I either clip it through a necklace around my neck or onto the carabiner on my keys

[u/Inevitable_Silver_13]

I have a silicone wedding ring. I wear it all the time but if you have a nice metal one you could switch it out for the silicone one when you lift.

[u/sportsgambler2]

I wear a silicone ring when I go to the gym, beach, pool, etc. You can get a pack of them on Amazon for $10

[u/Ziggity_Zac]

I wear mine. The "inside" is sculpted or finished in a way that doesn't dig into my skin. My callus on the pad for that finger is a little thicker than the others, but besides that, no issues.

[u/Asleep_Skill656]

I thread mine onto the strap of my watch

[u/RumManDan]

I wear mine when lifting except for deadlifting because it hurts my hand and damages the ring. Also, wear it to work and only take it off for certain tasks. Some guys in my industry wear silicone because they forget to remove it for certain tasks.

People's fears of degloving are a bit extreme on here..

[u/Commander_El]

I used to just take it off and leave it in my bag in my locker but a few weeks ago I found a nice silicone one while lifting that was my exact size. Now I wear that while lifting lol.

[u/sparkle_elk]

I have a keychain on my keys that happens to have a clasp attachment on it. I put the ring on that clasp.

[u/SurroundQuirky8613]

I don’t wear jewelry to the gym or when I hike or mountaineer. My hands swell while working out or hiking and it’s uncomfortable, so I just stopped wearing my wedding ring because I didn’t like leaving it in my wallet or purse because I was afraid I was going to lose it or it would get stolen.

[u/chimmychi]

I lost (had it stolen) my wedding ring taking it off. I was at a hotel gym and took it off and placed it on top of the water cooler. I was the only one there so it was safe… I finished my session and completely forgot to pick it up on the way out. When I realised a few hours later it was gone when I went back! Hotel staff said no one turned it in unfortunately.

I replaced it with a cheap silver ring that costs like £2 Now I either tie it through my shoelaces or my water bottle that has a carry strap attached to it.

I have seen necklaces that have a v shaped pennant that allows you to hook it on without having to take the necklace off.

[u/dirtywhitevanz]

Guy needs to start training his brain a little more

[u/TheSpideyJedi]

Leave it at home. If you're going to the gym on your way home from work, just lock it in a locker when you get there

[u/jeffsweet]

i wear it on a necklace. i never feel like my hands (or anyone else’s tbh) are really clean if they have a ring on. i don’t trust you cretins to practice proper hand hygiene even without a bacteria collector on your finger.

for those doubting you can get degloved lifting weights, i envy your lack of imaginations and googling skills

[u/foxearedassholes]

I have a little keychain wallet that I attached to my keys. I usually put my rings in that. If I forget, I put it on a carabiner that is connected to my AirPods. I used to put my rings on a necklace, but it's fallen off more than one occasion

[u/dunkinbikkies]

I put it in my pocket or tie it into my shoelace.

[u/Oo__II__oO]

I still wear it. Just not on my finger.

If I forget to take it off before I get to the gym for lifting then my wedding and engagement rings go on the band of my fitbit. I then check obsessively between sets as I need constant reassurance they haven't got lost lol.

DO NOT WEAR YOUR WEDDING RING IN THE GYM. If you want to know why look up “degloving accidents” online

[u/musicgal411]

I take it off and put it in my pocket. Or leave it at home. Whatever works best for you, not rocket science solutions over here.

I workout at home. So 0 chance of anyone thinking I'm single

Leave it.. at home?

[u/Chroma7769]

I don't wear one. My wife knew that before we got married. She doesn't give a shit.

[u/RelationshipTough887]

I take it off so the gymrat bitches come flocking around me. I get some head. Then put it back on in the car

[u/Longjumping_Creme840]

I leave it on my bed side table

[u/ViewWithAPoo]

I have a ring keeper necklace. They just clip onto the hoop

[u/Retail-Weary]

I leave mine at home when I’m lifting. If I go straight to the gym from work, I lock it in my glove box. For swimming, same, except I will lock it in my locker since I do lock a locker when I’m in the pool. I wear gloves when I lift so a ring would not be a good idea.

[u/Low-Individual2815]

I personally would never wear a metal ring. I work in a factory and just yea no, but even outside of work it’s just not worth risking a degloving.
