i do, because the people i live with complained about our high water bill once.0

I always showered at the gym when I was a teen/early 20's. Now I've got 2 kids and if I'm at the gym that means I'm also paying a babysitter to be at my house while I workout, so I am in and out fast and can just shower at home.0

I shower at the gym. If you don't shower, your pores are much more likely to get clogged. You should wash your face for sure.0

Well I workout at the gym during my lunch break and am usually EXTREMELY sweaty by the end of it.
I need to look my "usual respectable self" so I don't have the option.
If I DID have the option, I probably would anyway.0 -
Yes!!!! Everytime!!!! No butt funk is sitting in my ride!0

i work out at my gym at work, so i shower every time because i don't like to put my coat on all icky either0
-
I live about a half an hour walk from my gym so I'd rather walk home sweaty and shower in the privacy of my own home :')0

i go to the gym twice a day and shower both times but i see some ppl mostly women, storm a workout then just get changed and leave. i just could't do it i hate that feeling and to be honest how i smell after a workout i dont get how some ppl can leave minus a shower but get that some people may be nervous or prefer showering at home, especially women
It's called putting on Deodorant... Tends to take care of the smelly-ness pretty well I find.
When I workout, I'm generally coming from work... so I go home, grab my stuff and go... and then I either go home right away and shower or go grab something to eat and then shower when I get home.
I don't really sweat that much anyway when I workout.. and if I do, then my deodorant is enough to mask any odor.0 -
Always! In fact I take most of my showers at the gym - saves me lots of money on heating hot water and using electricity for the hairdryer at home too! I normally go before work and the thought of saving money on my energy bills works as an extra incentive on dark winter mornings! I haven't calculated how much I save per visit but it all counts, right?0

No, I go home to shower.0

I live 2 minutes from the gym and my gym/pool only has open group showers (aka a quick shower in your swim gear after you're done) so I just go home in my gym gear and then get a shower and changed at home.
I think even if my gym had individual showers I would feel too uncomfortable to shower there and would still prefer to go home.0 -
Depends on how busy the gym and changing rooms are. Usually shower at home though0

Since my gym is on base and I work on base, I'll shower if I hit up the gym prior to work. If after work, I head home and shower there.0

just cause I'm curious....I shower at the gym, 6 days a week (more than I shower at home. When I'm done working out I'm all sweaty and yucky....don't want to put my coat on. And when I get home there is always people who want my attention.
Other than the swimmers, I seem to be the only one who showers...just wondering if it's just me or do others shower at the gym.
I was in the USMC, so having survived showering with all those nasty guy bodies, I figured I've paid my dues in that department.0 -
I always use the showers, saves on my water bill at home and I find it relaxing before I go back outside0

No. The showers in my gym don't look particularly appealing. I only live ten minutes walk away so I walk home and shower in the privacy of my own house, which is much nicer0

Deodorant doesn't work for everyone - depends on how much an individual persires and the intensity of their workout. I sweat loads unless I'm only doing weight training (even doing that I get a bit warm) and deodrant can't completely mask my level of persisration and likely odour after a cardio workout. My entire back, chest and mid section as well as my hair frequently end up drenched even after only 30 mins cardio.0 -
I shower at home in the morning, when I run at work I have a shower at work. Note to self: Remember to LOCK the shower room door when in the shower...stupid woman!0

I shower at the gym, too. My girlfriend and I almost always workout together. We only have one bathroom at home, so when we shower at home, someone winds up having to wait. The gym has 5 or 6 shower stalls, so if we do it there, we don't have to take turns. It's also nice not to hear my mom complain about the water bill.0

I work out during my lunch break, so definitely have to shower before I head back to work. If I go to the gym on the weekend or after work I'll usually go home.
I hate washing my hair at the gym, so usually do that at home in the evenings.0
