The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Is it wrong to look at girls in the gym?
If it’s wrong then why do the all wear form fitting clothing or even more like a sporty bra? Why do some of their workout moves look a little like sexual movements (though they do have a legit exercise component)?
Your initial question doesn't make sense in terms of right and wrong. Staring is rude no matter what the circumstance. Ask yourself if you'd want someone looking protractedly at you, for whatever the reason. How uncomfortable would that make you feel? In what box would you then place the person doing the looking?
Gym clothing for women that is considered fashionable tends to be tight, and though many women go to the gym to get stronger and more fit, some just go to post pictures of themselves at the gym for their followers to like.
Generally, same rule at the gym as the beach or anywhere. You're not forbidden from noticing, but when you start ogling, or worse, taking photos clandestinely, yeah you're entering weird territory. Don't do that; if you need someone to tell you, I'm telling you.
Caveat: I am in Japan where looking at anyone for any reason for more than a second or two is considered rude. Except when it isn't.
That said, @Sloot's comment as always is a refreshing splash in the face.
