    I always shower before. I have a phobia about going into the gym smelling ripe.

    I shower when I get up and after gyming. If this means I shower twice within a few hours, so be it.

    This is me. The only time I didn't shower first was this past Sunday because I got up and walked the dogs for a couple of miles and then came home, changed and went to the gym. I felt so stinky afterwards that I knew I would never do that one again. Normally I shower in the morning and then workout at the gym after work, then come home and shower again.

    I don't see the point in taking a shower before!

    Ditto! What's the point of showering before you're going to get all nasty sweaty from working out?

    I've done all of them. I prefer after obviously..but the people saying you're more motivated if you do it before are also correct in my eyes. I definitely notice if I take a hot shower before cycling to work that I'm much, much faster and more awake and ready to go for it. Don't know if this would be the case in the afternoon but I've got up at 11am, felt like crap and not wanted to run..showered and been out within 10 mins because I felt so much better, guess it just depends on the situation.

    I also have both if I have to shave as well haha!

    I shower before & after just because I'm in zombie mode before a shower. After the shower I'm wide awake.

    Sums up what I was trying to say! Even if it's midday.. I just don't wake up properly til I'm showered.

    If I'm working out in the morning I'll wait until afterwards, but if it's a later workout I'll shower in the morning as usual and again later, even if it's only a couple of hours later at lunch time.

    I don't think I could go home without having a shower after, it's just such an unpleasant feeling..
