Do workout gloves work

No. Only YOU work.

Weights, cycles, rowing machines, workout gloves, exercise balls... they're all just devices that help you focus on specific muscle groups or help you feel more comfortable in your exercise routine and help you stay focused.

You can't depend on a "thing" to help you exercise. Motivation comes from within. Exercise is hard work, as it's supposed to be, but some things help some people. You'll need to decide if workout gloves can be helpful to you. Yes, workout gloves help to protect the lifters hands while still allowing the user to firmly grasp the weights. It's not as though everyone needs them, but if you're lifting a lot of weight frequently, it might be something you prefer having.
