Using an electromagnet beneath the floor, I'm assuming you could control just how strong you want the pull force to be, effectively making the garment heaver or lighter on demand.

It's important to note that the iron located near the feet would be much more heavily influenced by the "electromagnet beneath the floor" than more superior areas, such as the head, neck, and shoulders. If one laid (back down) on a magnetic floor with an iron suit, the magnetic force across the whole body would be much more sufficient, but a comparison of the difference in magnetic "pull" from the chest compared to the back would show that the iron on the back is affected more by the magnet. In other words, magnetic fields are a distance-limited phenomenon. In mathematical terms, one would use a
Tesla as a unit of measurement for this effect.
I agree with CraigD that it would be extremely difficult and costly to create an isotropic magnetic field. I also agree that it would be much better to just work out in an iron suit.
