]]>As you might imagine, showering in a place where other people have showered increases your risk of athlete’s foot and similar issues. It’s important to wear shower shoes in public showers, which should help eliminate the risk. At the same time, it’s not very good for your skin or other areas to wear sweaty clothes for too long, so if your journey home is longer than is comfortable, you may want to at least rinse off and put on dry clothes before leaving. If it’s not too long, then be sure to shower and change right when you arrive home if you’re very sweaty.
Much of this decision comes down to personal comfort. Specifically, how much stuff do you want to take with you? How much privacy do you care about? Do you have a long post-shower routine? If you choose to shower at the gym, you’ll have to carry an extra change of clothes and possibly extra personal hygiene products, unless you have a dedicated locker in which to keep them. But that may be worth it for the immediate satisfaction of getting clean and dry without an uncomfortable journey home.

]]>Flip flops are a must when using gym showers! If you haven’t brought a pair it’s better to head home than leave things to chance, no matter how badly you need a shower. Walking around the locker room barefoot is the perfect way to get athlete’s foot – a terrible fungal infection which mainly affects the skin between the toes.
Don’t even think about going to the gym shower if the things you need aren’t already in your bag or locker. You can probably rent a towel, but bringing your own is always a better idea, especially if you have a skin condition. Skin infections are the most common danger you’re facing here, and taking care of your belongings is the best way to avoid them.
Gym showers would probably be less disgusting if everyone remembered they’re sharing them with others. Staff at the gym are not always capable of cleaning them in time, especially during the busy hours. That’s why it’s important to behave properly and leave the area the same way you’ve found it.
