What is the reason to weigh oneself during a workout?
I saw people weigh themselves during a workout at a gym.
Is there a reason to do that?
(besides the obvious wanting to know how much water one have lost and be able to drink accordingly?).
Curiously, some do it multiple times.

I personally do it just because I do not own a scale and I have down time before sets. I'm sure a lot of people do it for similar reasons.
Unless you have a condition that requires specific monitoring and fluid intake, weighing yourself during a workout is of an academic interest, nothing more. There are studies that show a certain amount of weight loss during exercise can have a detrimental effect, but just replacing fluid doesn't account for the muscle glycogen loss and other factors.
If you are monitoring weight for gain/loss, once a day under the same conditions is the best way to track it, anything more than that is just for personal interest.
