If your gym doesn't allow you to have chalk use a chalk alternative lotion. Google search returns Ghost Grip, http://www.ghostgrip.com, try rubbing that wherever you need to. Its possible to control sweat, you just have to use whatever you can that works. There are a couple products you can use, especially at the gym, try antiperspirants or chalk.

By definition, Hyperhidrosis is the excessive sweating of the head, face, hands, feet and armpits no matter the temperature or conditions. The sweating is erratic, unpredictable and uncontrollable. You do have some options. To stop the excessive sweating try: 1. Drysol Drysol is a prescription deodorant that works wonders for underarm, hand and foot sweating. Apply it to your hands, feet, armpits or anywhere else you sweat at night before bed. You only need to apply it once a day - it's not like regular deodorant. This stuff is Clinical Strength. Beware of irritation with Drysol. You may have to take a day or two off from this treatment if your skin gets too dry, sensative or red with a rash. 2. Drink more water to lower your body temperature. A lot of people are confused by this solution. They think if they drink more water, it will give them that much more fluid to sweat out. This is totally incorrect. Drinking more water cools your core temperature and will alleviate some of the excessive sweating. Of course now you'll need to worry about all those bathroom breaks. :) 3. Drink Green Tea or Sage Tea at night Tea contains an astringent property which will dry out oils and prevent excess moister from escaping the skin. It essentially drys you from the inside out. In addition to helping your complexion, green tea will neutralize many of the toxins that create the pungent odor in sweat. By the way, that odor is caused by bacteria that treats your sweat as a breeding ground. Gross! 4. Try Certain Dri (non-prescription deodorant) You can buy this one at most pharmacies. Certain dry is a little less abrasive than Drysol so you won't need to worry as much about irritation. It is however a little less strong. You'll want to gauge your level of Hyperhidrosis by first trying Certain Dri. If your sweating continues, upgrade to Drysol and that should do the trick. 5. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine Don't underestimate the power of your diet. Onions, Garlic, Curry, Coffee and a whole host of other ingredients are powerful triggers for hyperhidrosis sweating. Cut out some of these cultprits and see gradual but noticeable results. Add leafy greens and tea into your diet for a positive effect on sweating. Changing your diet will really cut out the spontaneous sweating from your daily lunch breaks. 6. Try Iontophoresis treatments. This is more of a phase 3 solution. Try the clinical deodorants and diet fixes first. However, there is a treatment called Iontophoresis where you place your hands and feet into bowls or plates. The plates are filled with mineral water. Connected to the plates is an Iontophoresis electromagnetic device. Gentle electic pulses are distributed through mineral water. The minerals bond and temporarily change the nature of your sweat pores to block the sweat. This treatment works well. You can learn about it through the Source link I've provided below. 7. Try a Sage Tea Soak There's something called a Sage Tea solution what you do is... a. Buy Sage Tea from your supermarket b. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water c. Put the sage tea bags in the bowl and let the tea dissolve a bit. d. soak your hands for 15 minutes in the bowl. Sage Tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow. Don't just do this soak one day. Do it everyday for 5 days straight (15 minutes at a time) and you'll see great results. If your hands tan from the tea, just wash them in the sink with antibacterial soap. The residue will come off easily. 8. ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery) If the sweating is bad enough, some people will opt towards ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery). This is, however, a LAST resort. I recommend you try everything else possible before opting towards surgery. You can speak with your Dermatologist to find out more.

The point would then have not been to sweat as you work out, but to look really good in spandex shorts and a sports bra.

Most gyms are pretty strict on wiping down the machines after you've used them (I've always got a hand towel with me for that myself). I've seen the owners of my gym have a word to members for not wiping down the equipment, and they are all generally heavy sweaters. The last post might be closer to the truth.

However, I have to jump on the bandwagon and say that it may actually be his smell.

On the one hand you are just wet. On the other hand people 10 feet away are crying. I have the impression that he was stinking too much.

I'm guessing they were saying he stinks rather than sweats too much. After all, sweat is nothing more than urine excreted through the pores.
