I swim after the gym thing so I would shower after that.

Please say you shower before that too?

Walking home for a shower is fine because you're still exercising (kinda) although I'd be freezing if stil in my gym gear.
If you can sit into your car and not feel cold/damp/stinkin then you are not trying hard enough.

Its much easier to head home than to drag your feckin shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, moisturiser, hair brush, hair dryer and clean clothes with you!

In the gym I go to hardly any women use the shower when they're finished. They just get off the treadmill or whatever and head straight out the door.

I rarely see any men do the same. Are women more embarrassed walking around a changing room with little or no clothes on?

Because one thing's for sure plenty of men don't mind walking around bollock naked.

Someone has prob pointed this out already... but how do you know women dont use the shower and at the same time you rarely see men doing the same?? You're hardly walking round the locker rooms of both sexes!!

Women might be more modest in the locker room but I always shower at the gym. I dont know any woman who doesnt.

Have my shower back at the house. Variety of reasons.

I prefer to have my shower in comfort of my own lovely (and very clean) bathroom with my own lovely shower gels, moisturizers, clean bath mats and warm fluffy towels, than in some gym environment where God knows what goes on in the showers.

Am very, very short sighed. When I am without my glasses in unfamiliar bathrooms and shower environments, I am always very nervous that I'll slip or fall on something I didn't see and break my neck.

Communal showers are often very hot and humid environments. Sure, by the time you have toweled yourself dry and gotten dressed, you are in need of a shower again.

Couldn't be arsed packing and repacking gym bags full of towels, cosmetics, clothes, hair dryers etc etc.

Am lucky. I live a 5 minute walk from my gym, so not showering there is not a problem. Obviously if I had to go on somewhere immediately after wards, or was riding public transport home I'd shower at the gym.

Well I'm not going to get into the exact layout of my gym but basically when somebody leaves the gym floor you can see them leave the changing rooms. Or when the classes are finished some women walk straight out. And that includes spinning classes which, in my experience, make anybody sweat buckets.

Don't get me wrong some men do it too but my observation is that more women do it than men.

Of course some women happen to shower the same as me. If I would've included an option in the poll for "I'm a man I shower/I go home" it'd be interesting to see what the results would be.

I don't live far from the gym I go to so I shower at home, for the simple fact that it's a better shower. I shower at the gym if I'm going somewhere right after, like to college or whatever.

I do rinse under the showers that are beside the pool before I get in cannonball in.

Does anyone else pee in the pool to see if that blue dye thing is a myth too?

Myth busted in my pool anyway...

I can't even remember the last time i was in a swimming pool that didn't have one of those shower stops between the changing room and the pool.

Besides, as someone else pointed out you sweat in the water anyways.

To be honest, ever since sitting through lectures on the requirements for water filtration systems for swimming pools and how the vast majority of places fail to meet them i haven't used a public swimming pool since.

I used to work in leisure facilities and there was as much cleaning in womens showers as mens so i reckon plenty use them, maybe your only seeing the ones leave who are in a hurry.

Voodoomelon · 09-01-2012 01:33AM

I'd say most men in my gym shower before leaving, but I always see women walking out the door in their gym gear. More to do with the female cleaning ritual though i'd imagine, which can't be performed at the gym.

I was always driving to the gym, packed that in about a year ago and now run the mile and a half there, workout and then run home. So I don't bother with the mens showers.

WoollyRedHat · 09-01-2012 01:36AM

I personally don't consider it a problem leaving the gym a little sweaty as it didn't seem to offend anyone when I was in the process of doing so. But then again, I'm not a woman

Kadent · 09-01-2012 01:36AM

I work on campus so I go straight to work after gym (on campus) and shower when I'm done..(or wait til I get home if I'm extra tired)

Workout sweat doesn't stink as much as TERROR! sweat anyways.

Or so I have read.

Always shower at the gym, but contrary to what a lot of other women are saying the showers at my gym are 10 times nicer than my shower at home. So occasionally the promise of a really nice shower is motivation enough to get me to work out!

you're trying not to flash the rest of the changing room!

This is something I don't get! The changing rooms are usually same-sex so who cares if someone sees you naked? We're all the same! I always have a little laugh at girls trying to change awkwardly behind towels. It usually takes 10 times longer.

awaits AH replies..

The Master. · 09-01-2012 03:11AM

My girlfriend came back from the swimming once and her hair was still dripping wet and sh said she legged it from the changing room as 2 east european girls were doing high kicks into each others faces. First thing i wanted to know was why she didnt film it.

flanum · 09-01-2012 03:33AM

am i the only one that likes freshly (or even slightly not so freshly) sweated women?

They are probably changing behind towels because you are looking at them and laughing...

Didn't know there were so many gym bunnies back in Ireland.

Last time I checked, everyone was fat & fugly…….Shower or no shower !

Azureus · 09-01-2012 07:55AM

Dont usually shower after the gym because I run/walk there and back as a warm up/down, then hop in the shower when I get home. My own showers more relaxing anyway.

I go straight home for my shower - gym is less than 10 minutes' drive away. I dunno... in my case it's not the naked thing so much as the preference of my own shower and comforts.

Damn...my one chance to see you naked gone. I guess there's no point hanging around that gym anymore.

My girlfriend showers at the gym but she says it's pretty horrible. She says their is always a load of gawpy fat bitches sitting their staring and not even trying to hide the fact that they are. Also apparently the women's changing rooms in gyms and public places tend to be a lot more unhygienic than the men's changing rooms. I didn't initially believe this myself but after chatting to few women they confirm this. I always find the men's changing rooms to be grand, maybe a bit of a pong if someone is just after laying a fresh one but other than that they are usually grand. Lads usually tend to give the sink a rinse after a shave etc. Apparently the women's showers tend to be clogged with hair and possibly other excrement etc

yep...women are dirty biatches.....I used to do bar work years ago and always hated having to clean the ladies afterwards...
The gents? no bother at all...the womens...fúckin dirty slags....bog roll thrown everywhere..in the sink where they was cleaning their face, tampons blocking the loos or jsut dumped in the floor, etc etc...
And it wasn't some scumbag pub I worked in...I worked in 2x 4 star hotels and 2-3 high class pubs and each of them were all as bad as each other.

IvyTheTerrible · 09-01-2012 04:09PM

I have no issues about getting undressed in the gym changing rooms. However, I prefer to shower at home, because the showers are generally mank (dirty, full of hair etc etc). I KNOW how clean my bathroom is and who has been using it, so it is more comfortable for me.
