If so, when do you go and what is your typical routine? I mean, do you change before you and then go home and shower? Or change there and shower after?

I'm contemplating using my school's gym and am just not sure what the best time to go would be.....I can't see going in the morning and then having to shower afterwards to get ready for the day. I could go in the afternoon and then just come home sweaty and shower.....I'm not sure.

When I was in school, I'd go after my 8am class and then come back to my apt and shower. I would just go to my 8am class in my gym clothes since no one is really up that early to care what i'm wearing.
I find that mornings are the best, because there's not a lot of people and the workout really wakes you up for the rest of the day. I hate going at night...always too many people there and I hate showering at night.

i go in early evenings. maybe 4 or 5. i change either at home or there and shower at home. the evening shower for me is perfect. i make dinner and go to bed feeling clean and refreshed.

I go in the evening and then shower at home - i am very icky about public showers - it always feels unclean to me and i am a clean freak :)) but thats just me
i also hate public washrooms but thats another topic lol

ewwwwwwwwwww, never use public showers. My friend got a nasty fungus on her toes from them....YUCK!
I go to the gym in the evenings of the weekdays and early on the weekends. I change at home, shower at home.

Thanks everyone!

Shoegal: Yea that's why I was asking...public showers kind of gross me out!

I go at 6 am...I love it that way. I get it out of the way first thing in the morning and it gets my adrenaline pumping for the day.
I'm lucky enough to be able to go home after and shower.

I go after work. I bring clothes with me, change there and then shower once I get home.

me too, first thing in the morning or my entire day feels weird!

luckily I've always joined gyms within walking distance to my apartment so I can always go to the gym already dressed in my workout clothes and then go home to shower and change afterward. it has less to do with not wanting to use the public showers and more to do with the fact that I hate lugging all the crap with you to the gym that you'll need if you're going to shower and change there.

I usually go in the late morning when the crowd starts to die down a little bit. I'm all dressed & ready to go. It took me a while to get used to the public showers, but my club is a luxury tennis & swim club so I don't feel yucky about it anymore. I have my own locker, so I keep my robe & flip-flops to wear in the shower.

I usually go on my way home from work, shower at home. Right now I am off for the summer (I'm a teacher) so I go to the gym in the morning and then come home and shower.

I have different workout times. A few days a week I go in @ 5am. I come home and shower. (I am grossed out by showers at any facility no matter how clean :( )
On the days I go normal morning hours, 8ish I'll then come home and shower. If I have a meeting I'll make up for any workout missed, and do it on Sat and Sun, so I get my 5 days in.

I'm not a member of a gym, but when I used to be I'd go in the evening after I went home changed. I don't like chaging at the gym.

I do my cardio at home on the elliptical four days a week and then shower after. At the gym on the other three days, I do weights so I don't really sweat much. I don't shower those days.

[kbell]

I do the gym on lunch - I have for years off & on, have a routine & wear flip flops in the shower no matter how clean it looks - haven't had any problems yet!
