Are you sure that your gym has a group shower situation? My gym has 3 private stall showers. I have to walk to the changing room from the shower room wearing only my towel, but there's never a moment where I have to be naked in front of anyone. Do a little look-see around the locker room the next time you are at the gym and check it out.

I've never heard of a gym (outside of high school) that had group showers... you might want to double check and make sure there aren't any private showers, or curtains that divide the showers.
But just know most people are at the gym to lose weight. Most people started going to the gym to gain self confidence. No one is going to judge you. I think sometimes people over estimate how much others care. Chances are, no one is going to look at you, let alone judge you.
Hopefully going to the gym is going to help you gain confidence and become more okay with your body image. Bodies are beautiful and you shouldn't be ashamed to be naked! (Although I do understand wanting to be modest)
Also, wear some shower flip flops! =P
