Do you use the gym showers?

Nope too many weirdos at the gym.

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!

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 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.

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

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.

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

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!

Thanks. The gym has recently moved to a new premises so there's still building work being done. Once they've finished people won't be able to see in. I would have to get undressed in the shower itself as it is now and that would be a pain in the *kitten*!

It depends. If I pee in the pool, I skip the shower. Otherwise I hit the shower to pee.

I did when I went to the gym before work.... around 7ish its pretty much dead so I had the place to myself for the most part.

Absolutely. And because most people Don't use them, they are always empty and clean. Why use my water when I am already paying to use theirs?

ETA- The only precaution I would take is use flip flops, just to be on the safe side. But our gym, if nothing else, over disinfects everything.

I haven't had to use the gym showers yet as I workout on my way home from work and just wait and shower when I get home, but if I went in the morning or on my lunch I would definitely use the gym shower. The showers at my gym have two sets of curtains, an outer one that blocks your possessions from general view and an inner one so that they don't get wet from the shower. I bought cheap flip flops to wear in there that I keep in my gym bag so I'm not worried about what sort of fungus I could be getting on my feet.

I bought travel containers for my soap and body wash and keep them in my gym bag as well. Stick them in a ziploc baggie and there are no worries about them leaking all over the gym bag.
