Title: showering in public Post by: momof2boys on January 02, 2004, 06:46:56 PM Hi I am new and I recently joined a gym to start my new year resollution . I have one problem , when I did the tour they have open showers . I feel a little awkward showering in front of anyone besides my husband . I would take a shower when I get home but the health spa is 35 minutes away . Has any other woman feel this way or is it just me

Maybe this is related, I dunno. But when I was their age, it was common in public school, or at bible camp, etc., to hear epithets of "homo" tossed around at each other. Now that you can get sued, I guess, for such "harrassment", no matter how loosely intended, and there's a sort of forced silence descended now, I'm wondering if showering in public like that is a good idea at all. I mean, if you can't "say" anything...? Maybe you should just drive stinky 'til you get home. (don't stop at the grocery store-- :-[). :-\ just my two cents--from a man person... :-X Title: Re:showering in public Post by: sincereheart on January 05, 2004, 07:31:29 AM Not much help here, I'm afraid. I don't shower at the gym. I'd rather drive home 'stinky' :P.... So it's not just you~ ;)

There's really nothing to worry about. Some women shower in their bathing suits and then go get changed in the changing rooms. If you're fast it shouldn't be a big deal.

If there happens to be other people there, just think about something else while you're undressed or use a towel to cover what you can.

Perhaps it never occurred to them and you're obviously not alone. I swim laps at the local high school 3x a week and the women shower with their suits on and then wait in line to change in the toilet stalls for privacy. Title: Re:showering in public Post by: frankschnitzel on December 18, 2004, 07:28:54 PM I often shower at my local swimming pool (frank=frankie!) and just keep my swimsuit on. No need to be embarassed. I find thinking about the bible helps keep my mind off the whole thing anyway. Don't let this stop you going to the gym!!!
