Just go barefoot bro. If the gym doesn't allow you to enter the gym without wearing shoes, you've got the wrong gym. Get out.

Not true at all. If you've been to any MMA gyms, they don't wear shoes at all that including me. Never mind that, powerlifters don't wear shoes as well, not all, but most prefer not to. Unless you fall under the category where people go to gym just to do curls and whatnot.
