Do you use the gym showers?

Or do you go back to work or go run errands without a gym shower? I do, I have never used a gym shower. I always wait till I get home no matter what. I don't think I would even feel clean after a gym shower. Ha!

Nope too many weirdos at the gym.

I know what you mean.

I use the shower at our employee-only gym at work. There are only a few of us who use it. But at the public facilities? Hell no! Body spray and a ponytail and I'm out.

Must be different in the men's. In the ladies we have soft music, scented soaps, drinks with umbrellas in them and wild lesbian love parties.



Actually, I do use ours at the pool, because otherwise my hair would stick out like Edward Scissorhand's from the chlorine.

Wow! I'm coming to your gym!

No, but I go to the gym after work and then go home and shower. I wouldn't run errands without a shower after working out because I sweat entirely too much.

What is this Jr High? Yea I use the showers at the gym if I go before work. Nothing worse the loosing a client because of your body order!

I used to when I was at Planet Fitness. I quit that gym now and work out at home.

It was very uncomfortable with only that little curtain blocking the entry way between me and a bunch of other girls. Plus, I put my bag and stuff on the hook and I would peep out to make sure it was still there. I hated having to bring my own shampoo and conditioner. It would sometimes open up my bag causing a huge mess. Then I felt wet all day because it's hard to get dry when you're rushing to get back to work. Too much stress.

i go to a city park gym. the shower and changing room is mostly used by children coming from the swimming classes. the showers have no curtains. the changing stalls have no curtains. i do not change or shower in there. seems inappropriate (and a little creepy) for an adult woman do be naked in front of a group of unaccompanied children.

eta - i go to the gym after work and i do run errands on my way home occasionally. i don't own a car so not stopping along the way for groceries or whatever would add a significant amount of time to getting things done.

When I workout in the morning before work i will use the gym shower. Its not too bad... they are clean and have some antibacterial soap. Good enough to get me through the day not stanky.

My old gym had private bathroom/showers. Only 7 but they were nice!

jessicapetert23

no, it freaks me out, i don't know how clean those things are...i go home and take a shower!

If I am headed home, I just wait and shower at home. Otherwise I have no problem showering at my gym. I keep a philosophy 3 in 1 in my gym bag and never use it since the soap and stuff at my gym is all high quality.

JingleMuffin

i do if im on my to work after. if im going/ doing anything else i just go home and shower there.

No, I'd rather just shower at home. It's a little inconvenient having to bring all of my soap, shampoo, etc. The showers are private but I worry about how clean they are.

I always use the showers after Hot Yoga. The facilties at that studio are really clean. I haven't used the showers at my gym as there is a lot of building work being done and it's not very private. In fact you'd be able to see in from the cable pulley machines! There are shower curtains but I still wouldn't feel comfortable using them. 99% of members of my gym are male so the ladies changing/shower haven't been a priorty. The owner says the work should be finished in a week or 2. I'll use them then.

What you can see inside? That's creepy! Whoever designed that gym must have been a weirdo.
BTW, congrats on losing 100 lbs. Incredible!

I don't mind using the gym showers. I don't use them often, only if I have plans after the gym that running home (nearly an hour away) would be a hinderance for. I honestly don't know how often the showers are cleaned, so I bring cheap flip flops that I can wear and I'm a master at putting on and removing clothing without letting anything touch the ground or having to touch anything myself. Works out just fine, I think. Plus, the water at the gym is softer than the water at my apartment, so I kinda like it.

I don't use the gym shower, the gym showers use me.

Don't let them take advantage of you like that!
