[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People go home and shower. 99.9 % of people are not going straight to work. I’m not using a nasty gym shower. And yes I sweat. My gyms have showers but no one uses them. [/quote]

Then why are they nasty?

[/quote]

Because the general public uses them. I never liked pool showers either, even as a kid. Or public restrooms. You have no idea about the hygiene practices of anyone you’re sharing the shower with. I’d rather use my own, clean shower.

Also - don’t you have to bring your own toiletries? That sounds like a PITA. I realize they have Kiehl’s or whatever at Equinox, but I have my specific shampoo and body wash I like to use. [/quote]

Exactly.  Plus the "fresh towels" - how fresh are they really?  You don't know where they've been or how well they were laundered.

I don't get the appeal of showering at the gym AT ALL.[/quote]

Because people don’t have infinite time. Sure, if you are farting around on the elliptical for 2 hours total a week maybe you have the extra free time not to shower at the gym. But others of us that put in more time don’t have time spilling out all over the place.

Get some $15 addidas slides for the shower on Amazon and you might get some immune system benefit from actually exposing yourself to other humans. [/quote]

Well, others of us get up earlier to go to the gym earlier and make it home in time for a shower.  Everyone has to do what works for them in their lives.

For me, I find showering at the gym in no way preferable to showering at home, so it's worth it to arrange my schedule accordingly.[/quote]
