How many women shower after the gym?

phoenix833

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.

Women think they don't smell because no man is brave enough to tell them when they do.

Mr Benevolent

If you stop lurking in the women's showers they will.

FatherLen

this is an odd one, me being a man though cannot answer

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.

Not at all. It's just that women, being Creatures Of Darkness, are unworried by matter of hygiene.

El Guapo!

Maybe they found your hidden camera...

Women walking around Bollock naked would not a pretty site make!

Women are brave enough to tell them though.

I do the same I prefer to shower at home, less verrucas.

I prefer to cool down after the gym. I find if I have a shower straight away I'm still sweating after which defeats the purpose. I stroll home and have it there where I've everything I need at my fingertips.

Also is it not time we got over all this nonsense of womens changing rooms and mens changing rooms with the invention of the gays and whatnot, can we not just make unisex changing rooms?

i sometimes do that too, just nicer being at home

It cause they want to go home and flick the bean off of themselves.

Could I use the majority of female responses stating their preference to shower at home as an excuse if I get caught in the female changing rooms?

Of course. Just say the mens ones were full with a whole bunch of bollock naked men.

Public showers are disgusting, people could be pissing in them or leaving verucca germs or God knows what. I'd always go home and shower there.

If you wash your hair its much handier to do at home, no staying there for ages drying or having to leave with wet hair. Its just cleaner at home in general.

stupidusername

I don't go to the gym, I do my exercise outside. When I get back I'm roasting and sweaty, so I leave myself cool down for a bit, then shower.

My housemate goes to the gym, and I'm fairly sure he doesn't shower at the gym, and he doesn't when he gets home either. he does every morning but still

You only shower sometimes?

I shower at the gym but I don't bother with my hair - far too messy.

Maybe the women's facilities at the OP's gym aren't good? There might be factors other than gender involved?

jokettle

My gym is a 20 minute walk from home. I use the walk to cool down, and then I have the added comfort of being at home and using all the nice smelly shower stuff I would never carry all the way into the gym!

Plus there are no hairdryers in the gym, and I'm not willing to buy another one and carry it to the gym every time I use it. Walking home for 20 minutes with wet hair is not an attractive prospect either.

I just noticed a lot more women just head straight out after their workout.

The womens facilities are much the same as the mens I presume and I think they're good.

What's good for the goose...and so forth.

therecklessone

I shared a house with a girl who would routinely arrive home from the gym not having showered. Problem was she wouldn't shower when she got home either.

Smelly bitch.

Instead of asking us, why not ask the wimminz in your gym ? Maybe stand close to them when asking...very,very close.

R.D. aka MR.D

I always wait to shower until I get home because its just so damn awkward showering in the gym. I hate being naked in front of strangers and so i just want to shower as quick as i can so its uncomfortable.

At least at home i can take a long shower and shampoo, condition and all the rest without worrying about whether the other woman is looking at me and judging me

Flip Flops.

I will assure you if you don't shower after you workout you don't die.

I prefer to shower at home as my hair is a fussy bítch.
Whatevers less hassle "I'm a woman and I don't care" in this vote.
Oh no's! but the women they must be dainty and clean.
although..
It doesn't bother me seeing people walk out without showering but its another thing to take a go the jacks missus and not wash your hands, filthbag.

Dudess

You get cold if you leave it too long though so I hit the shower asap.

Lia_lia

I always shower at the gym. Usually covered in sweat, mank!

I can see why many women don't shower at the gym though. Some may want to dry their hair (in many gyms you must pay for the use of hair dryers), use various face/hair products/shave. These would all be easier to do at home.

And most women I see at the gym do feck all anyway so wouldn't really need a shower.

I never said it bothered me. More of an observation.

I don't judge anybody for not showering it just got me wondering for the women who don't shower what's the main reason.

probably a lot of women like to have: shampoo, conditioner, showergel, moistriser, facewash, moisturiser for your face. Hairbrush, leave in conditioner, hairdryer, straightener, make up and perfume.

Where a lot of men would be happy with showergel and deoderant.

Mental image of all the ladies looking in the mirror with a faceful of shaving foam on and a Mach3 in their hands :P

Always showered after. I don't like the feeling of being sweaty then going outside, cooling down, then you've got cold sweaty stuff on ye :S

A quick wash down doesn't take long, fresh clothes, feel 100%

I always find it easier to work out around hot women. At my last gym, the women were smoking hot. You'd be pumping away trying to impress them (as if they even cared). Right now it's the opposite though. It's so uninspiring to jog on a treadmill behind some ould wan with a rear end like a Charolais bull.

I think the hefty auld wans are great for having a go and getting stuck in.

I always shower at the gym. The thought of getting dressed to go outdoors when I'm sweaty makes me retch. I just bring small sizes of the bare essentials with me and put all thoughts of being judged out of my head.

And its nice being able to collapse when you come in the door instead of having to hit the shower.

Driving to the gym... reminds me of this

I simply cannot be arsed packing a bag, two towels, flip flops, shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, fresh clothes, then leave with soaking wet hair and most probably still be sweaty due to the heat and humidity in the changing rooms, only to then jump in the car to drive 10/12 minutes home... No, I prefer to be able to head home, jump in my nice shower and change into my jammies and chill!!!

Icyseanfitz

i always thought that communal showers and droves of naked feckers walking about was a little gay myself so i just go home and shower, must be the same for the women

Are you one of the many people reading this thread just because it involves the words "women" and "showering"?



If so, good evening.

Saaron

I used to shower in the gym but now that I walk to/from my new gym (about 15 mins away) I shower when I get home as I prefer to wear my gym gear.

newbee22

I shower at home, way easier plus sports bras are a b!tch to take off when you're trying not to flash the rest of the changing room!

Jake Rugby Walrus666

I think it's a sign that you haven't really trained. That you're happy to walk out around people. Sit in your car for a while etc. If you were pumping sweat then you wouldn't do that. You would have at least a quick shower before leaving, even if you intended to wash when you went home.

I'm not drawing any correlation between women and pretend training for psychological purposes.

mattjack

I never realised AH had so many healthy gym attending people...

That's a bit stupid, if people are going home to shower then that's their choice. Not showering does not mean you haven't worked out properly!

Only time I would personally shower is when I'd work out before heading to college and obviously wouldn't want to stink but now that I work out in the middle of the day and am able to walk home It makes more sense to shower at home.

I would predict a large rise in male membership at gyms, shortly followed by a massive plummet in the female membership, until the situation returned to normal.
