    Some days. When I use the ladies locker room there is seldom anyone there and i use the shower stall for wheel chairs so there is lots of room to dress. I don't do that because I am fat i do it because I am very modest .

    hell ya, they have the nice shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Also I'll shave there too cause razors arent cheap and use up the qtips and mouthwash they supply

    I would LOVE to know what gym you go to!!! lol

    Nope, my gym only has the hand soap kind of dispensers with god knows what in them! and I also like to be able to take the shower head off the wall and properly rinse all the soap off me...

    Yup, because I go to work right from the gym. No luxurious anything, I haul all my own stuff in and out, but...I'm more likely to exercise at the start of my day than at the end of my day.

    I work out a lunch, so always shower before heading back to work. I'd say my gym has sort of average facilities. I have to supply my own toiletries. But we do have individual shower stalls with frosted doors. I'm at the gym to work out and then get on with the rest of my day. If you don't want to see naked people, you shouldn't be in a gym locker room. Fortunately pretty much everyone there during the middle of the day just seems to be focused on getting their thing done; no creepy lurkers.

    No, cause my get cute ritual is entirely too long AND i won't even put my bare feet on the changing room floor. I can't imagine my tootsies touching a shower floor used by others...ewwww...

    I kind of miss the extras that some gyms provide now that I work out only at the YMCA or at home. But I don't know why I would haul my stuff to the gym for a shower unless I was working out and then rushing to get somewhere.

    On certain days I do. Somedays the only day I can get a workout in is to go at lunchtime. I sweat a LOT,so I do a quick cool shower before redressing and fixing my hair and make-up. However, I live within walking distance of my gym, so when I workout before or after work, I just head home to shower. I suppose in theory I *could* do that during my lunchtime workout, but then I'd feel like I had to take the dog out, and check my messages, get the mail, start a load of laundry.........you get the picture.

    No way. Never have, never will. Modesty - yes. Body Image Issues - yes. But, mostly, it's just icky. ICKY.

    Yes, if it's a lunchtime class and I'm going back to work afterwards. Possibly not if its the evening and I'm heading home afterwards.

    The gym has quite nice showers, with shower gel and shampoo, but that's it - no towels or lotion etc.

    I dont feel a bit embarrassed about being naked in the changing room area - I dont think anyone's looking at me. And if they are, so what?

    Usually no, because like so many others who posted, I only live about 10 minutes from my gym. Plus, because of my crazy additicion to cardio exercising, I'm often not really finished with my workout just because I come home. I also have a home gym and like to wind down from my class, or elliptical workout with a good run on the treadmill in TV that I get to pick the show or DVD, then shower after I'm completely finished.

    However, on the days when I swim, then I definiately take a shower there, blow dry and leave clean.

    i should shower at the gym, because i want to use the sauna there. i use to love it after a work out. but it means bringing a full change of clothes to the gym. i usually only go to the gym on my days off (i have a weird schedule, so i'll have days off during the week) and my gym is a five minute walk from home. so its easier to skip the sauna and just walk home and shower.

    Oh HELL NO! I've showered there a couple of times after swimming but there shampoo/cream rinse/soap are terrible and I haven't stepped in a shower when there wasn't a couple of long black hairs in the pan. I always wear shower shoes and don't have a problem with being naked (not that it's pretty but that I just don't care), it's just not clean enough for me. YUCK!

    Never ever, ever. Never. NE-VER.

    Seriously, the gym is about 5 minutes from my house, and by showering at home I run no risk of running into my students while either of us is only partially clothed . Bonus! :laugh:
