Different ways to get genital warts?

I recently found out on my own that I have genital warts. I’ve been putting apple cider vinegar on them and they’ve been slowly falling off. My question is could I have contracted genital warts from potentially going to the gym? I don’t always go but recently i started and was sweating like crazy. I did not immediately change out of my work out clothes when I was finished, I actually stayed in them all day because I got so busy doing other things. I’ve done this on a couple of occasions and shortly after is when the warts popped up! Could they have come from excessive sweating in that area and staying in those clothes all day and night?

Hmmm I've never heard of genital warts being passed that way.  It's usually direct contact or hand contact and then touching your gentials.  

If your genitals have come in contact with someone else's, that's probably the cause.
