How do I get my gym clothes to stop smelling?

I sweat a lot at yoga and the gym so my clothes are super wet with sweat when i am finished. I can't always wash them right away so they sometimes get a real weird stink to them. After i wash them, they smell fine but when i sweat again the smell comes back as if the smell is hiding in the clothes. Are there any tricks to getting rid of that odor?

Answers:
I think if you wash in oatmeal it will even take away the stench of skunk....so there must be something special about oatmeal. However, you would smell like the quaker oats guy...

Take febreeze with you and keep it in your gym bag and spray them after you take them off.
baking soda in the wash , let them soak awhile
Alternate gym clothes, and always try to wash them right away. Baby powder covers up smells, if you need to be somewhere right after.
dont wear them at all!
wash them more frequently...
get a few other gym clothes so you can rotate them...
this will make them last longer and smell less...
get yourself a good bath, put on body splash and deodorant, that will solve your problem.
this is a easy one axe deoderant spray or like any other deoderant spray
Use about a half cup of baking soda in your wash.
Baking soda is good and gentle for the wash.

You could also try rinsing with vinegar [white].. This cuts many odors. I have tried this and it works... cant remember where I first saw it though...
You've got mildew. It's tough to remove, wash them or hang them out to dry as soon as you get home. Wash in hot water with baking soda.
Use Tide with Fabreeze in it. Works GREAT!
put soda in your wash before you use your fabric softner.
You need to soak your clothes in a solution of vinegar after they are laundered.
Treating the underarm areas with a solution of vinegar and bicarb soda may be the solution.
Nylon or other synthetic fabrics tend to retain odours more than natural fibres such as cotton or wool.
Maybe you need to consider which brands you buy.
