The microphonics are pretty bad, IMO, but unless you listen to "quiet" music, you wont ever notice it too much, and it's even worse when you are doing rigorous exercises like sprinting or so. Even though I just got these headphones a couple weeks ago, I'm already craving something with higher bass and more detail.
For the gym, get you the MEElectronics M9 -- $20, decent isolation, strong bass and treble, even at lower volume levels. I wouldn't take my RE0 to the gym -- I only take them places where I can be sure they won't get messed up or torn up.

I feel my RE0's are ideal at the GYM as long as you don't make any sudden fast movements.
Yeah, I've been using my RE0 for over a month at the gym and they're fine. Just put the volume a bit higher though, as when I do cardio I can usually hear my breath which is very annoying.

I have the third iteration of the RE0s and I would not recommend taking them to the gym. For me, it's not an issue of fit, as with the small silicone fittings, I get a solid and comfortable seal but the cable is just too microphonic to be used in an active setting such as a gym. Even when wearing them over the ear and using the shirt clip, they're still pretty heavy on the microphonics to my ears.
