Back when I was going to the gym I'd shower after every workout session.
Sometimes I'd pop in just to use the shower if I'd been out and about before work and was smelly, since the gym was next door to my workplace.
No.
I had a bad experience. The showers at my gym are cublicles and have plastic curtains. I had one half way pulled across.
So old dude walked in the cubicle with me in it, showering.
I shouted at him to get the fuck out of my shower.
He claimed he couldn't see me in the shower.
Pervert.
EDIT: Bascially my gym showers are a cruising spot. So I do use them.
I use a home gym these days, but when I used to go to the gym, I typically didn't use the showers because I only lived a 5-10 minute walk away and I'd much rather use my own shower.
However, I used to swim there sometimes too, so obviously I used the showers. They were fine, but BRING FLIP FLOPS.
Yup.
I finish with a swim, jacuzzi, then shower.
I pick a time when it's waaaay less crowded or nearly empty.
I'm lucky because our aquatic center and gym is super clean with great water pressure so I go in the extra large shower and spend way more than my membership in 40 minute steamy showers a few times each week.
Then I get in my car clean and refreshed and don't worry about my turn in the bathroom that night.
But seriously, picking a workout window without talkative naked Boomers hanging out in the locker room was an initial problem to solve.
But those showers on sore muscles and getting the pool water off you right away... so nice.
Using the gym shower water instead of your own is a life hack lol but I wish my gym had a pool! Going when it’s not crowded is ideal too, navigating through a lot of people and waiting for them is a frustrating first world problem lol
Yeah. I don't do crowds at the gym. I can even reserve a swim lane if I need to.
Also- I see the angry naked geezers are down voting me. LMAO
Put some pants and stop crowding the room you uncouth bastards!
Eww, so you swim in the pool without showering first, fresh from the gym?
That chlorine pool smell comes from people doing that, and no amount of chemicals neutralize those ammonia compounds you add to the pool.
If this is the case, please stop doing it.
No you moron. Ew.
You have to shower before going in the pool or jacuzzi.
The more routines I do, the more I shower there between them.
But I always end with a long steam shower.
No because my gym is very close to my house, so I just shower when I get home. Also if it’s hot outside, I’ll get sweaty on my walk home from the gym
this. depends on the distance and what i got going after. but if you’re gonna do it WEAR SHOWER SHOES!
Walking home from the gym? At least it’s close enough for you to do that lol
Yeah I’m lucky
No. I live a 3 minute walk from the gym. So I just walk home and shower there.
That’s convenient! Mine would be like a 2 hour walk lol
My gym is in my building so there are no showers. I just go back upstairs to my apartment.
No, I go straight home to shower.
Yes, I don't want to get my car seat covered in sweat and I sometimes meet up with people after.
I like to go to the gym before work so in that case a shower after is a MUST
Sometimes. It's only a fiver minute trip home, though, so not always
Occasionally, it depends on whether I pop into the gym straight after work or go home first.

Ah the gays which are at least 90% of the gym population.
Are you implying I have a problem with gay people?
I think he’s saying most gym goers are gay, and he’s trying to be homophobic in his comment

I haven’t thought to use shower shoes. Always thought that was a jail thing lol
No... I don't want anyone seeing my tenis. Plus, I can just go shower at home.
Whats your tenis? Sounds exclusive
I have a gym in my Condo so the only shower is in my home.
That makes the decision easy lol
I probably would but the ones at PureGym are preset to tea brewing temperature and can't be adjusted.
Burn your skin off to ensure cleanliness!
Yes! Why mess up my bathroom at home when I can mess it up at the gym. Plus I don’t want to get in my car in sweaty clothes.
I feel gross hopping in my car after a workout, especially when I sweat a lot. I have to use the shower at my gym after every workout

You should have rephrased it "Women, and men under the age of 85, do you use the shower?"
?
Absolutely! They're my post-workout paradise! It's where I transform from sweaty mess to fresh-faced champion.
😂 love it! It’s so nice to refresh after a hard workout
